1And he handed him over to the people before the first day of their festival of the Unleavened Bread. (6) And those having taken the Lord were running, pushing him, and saying, “Let’s drag the Son of God, having authority over him!”

2(7) And they were clothing him with purple, and sat him on the seat of judgment, saying, “Judge justly, king of Israel!” (8) And one of them brought a thorn crown and placed it on the Lord’s head.

3(9) And other bystanders were spitting in his face, and others slapped his cheeks. Others were piercing him with a reed, and some were scourging him, saying, “With this honor, let’s honor the Son of God!”
