Matthew 27:26–34

26 Then he released Barabbas for them, but after* he had Jesus flogged, he handed him* over so that he could be crucified.

Jesus Is Mocked

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s residence and* gathered the whole cohort to him. 28 And they stripped him and* put a scarlet military cloak around him, 29 and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it* on his head, and putj a reed in his right hand. And kneeling down before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 30 And they spat on him and* took the reed and repeatedly struckk him* on his head. 31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the military cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away in order to crucify him.*

Jesus Is Crucified

32 And as they* were going out, they found a man of Cyrene ⌊named⌋l Simon. They forced this man to carry his cross. 33 And when they* came to a place called Golgotha (which ⌊means Place of a Skull⌋),m 34 they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink, and when he* tasted it* he did not want to drink it.*
