They dressed him in a purple robe, and they wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on his head. Then they saluted him and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!” And they struck him on the head with a reed stick, spit on him, and dropped to their knees in mock worship.
When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.
- I Paul, am more guilty of wrong than anyone. But I have apologised for my mistakes and now accept Him as the one who sets me free from the horrible things which would otherwise keep me chained to the past. I have been acquitted because of His sacrifice and now I walk with Him to meet my Creator
