Matthew 27:28

SufferingShame

26 So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29 And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand and knelt down before Him to mock Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30 Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.
