Mark 15:17

ShameSuffering

15 And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16 Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18 And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19 They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.
