² and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place `it' on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,

³ He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁶ And I `am' a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.

⁷ Thus said Jehovah, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the abominated of a nation, To the servant of rulers: `Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooseth thee.'

²⁷ then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;

²⁸ and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,

²⁹ and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put `it' on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of the Jews.'

³⁰ And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;

³¹ and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify `him'.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,

¹⁷ and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put `it' on him,

¹⁸ and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.'

¹⁹ And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

²⁰ and when they `had' mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

¹¹ and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

⁵ Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!'
