The Crown of Thorns (A)
27 Then the soldiers of Pilate took Jesus into a large room. A big group of soldiers gathered around Him. 28 They took off His clothes and put a purple coat on Him. 29 They put a crown of thorns on His head. They put a stick in His right hand. They got on their knees before Him and made fun of Him. They said, “Hello, King of the Jews!” 30 They spit on Him. They took a stick and hit Him on the head. 31 After they had made fun of Him, they took the coat off and put His own clothes on Him. Then they led Him away to be nailed to a cross. 32 As they were on the way, they came to a man called Simon from the country of Cyrene. They made him carry the cross for Jesus.

They called all the soldiers together. 17 The soldiers put a purple coat on Him. They put a crown of thorns on His head, 18 and said to Him, “Hello, King of the Jews!” 19 They hit Him on the head with a stick and spit on Him. They got down on their knees and worshiped Him. 20 After they had made fun of Him, they took the purple coat off of Him and put His own clothes back on Him.
