MATTHEW 27:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!”
And twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying: hail, King of the Jews! The crown of thorns, the reed scepter, the kneeling, the hail: the full mockery of the Roman crucifixion ritual applied to the one who is genuinely the King. The soldiers mock what they do not understand; the mockery inadvertently describes the truth.
