The irony in the behavior of those who mocked Jesus is captivating. To think the truth in their behavior only reinforces the future promise of God. Every knee will bow, and tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. The sad part is there will be those who do it unwillingly, but at least they will have practiced beforehand.
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the courtyard of the governor’s headquarters (called the Praetorium) and called out the entire regiment. 17 They dressed Him in a purple robe, and they wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on His head. 18 Then they saluted Him and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!” 19 And they struck Him on the head with a reed stick, spit on Him, and dropped to their knees in mock worship. 20 When they were finally tired of mocking Him, they took off the purple robe and put His own clothes on Him again. Then they led Him away to be crucified.
