The Guards Mock Jesus

And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.

And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

• Soldiers
• Scoffing

And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

• Cruelty

Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

• Cruelty

And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
