The Roman soldiers continued the humiliation of the Son of God. Jesus was stripped and then mockingly dressed in a scarlet robe. This was followed by a crown of thorns being put upon His head. This reads as though this was gently put upon His head, but the truth is that the thorns were long and it would be painfully placed upon His head.
Then they mockingly hailed Him as the king of the Jews. Then repeatedly they spat upon Him and beat Him. Then they took the robe off Him and replaced it with His own clothes. He was then led away to be crucified.
Remember that these are the same soldiers that Jesus would later forgive. All of us should be eternally grateful to Jesus for what He has done for us.
