MARK 15:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Pretorium; and they call together the whole band.”
The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers — the Praetorium is the Roman governor's headquarters, probably Herod the Great's palace in Jerusalem during the festival. The whole company of soldiers communicates an audience: the mockery of the king of the Jews is performed before the full assembled cohort.
