They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
Mark 15:17 in context
Mark 15:14–20
Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?”
But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”
Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
