26Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross.
27Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together.
28And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe.
29And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.
30And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod.
31And when they had made sport of him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothing on him, and took him away to put him on the cross.
32And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.
