john 19:2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and arrayed Him in a purple robe;

2. the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head--in mockery of a regal crown.
and they put on him a purple robe--in mockery of the imperial purple; first "stripping him" (Mt 27:28) of His own outer garment. The robe may have been the "gorgeous" one in which Herod arrayed and sent Him back to Pilate (Lu 23:11). "And they put a reed into His right hand" (Mt 27:29) --in mockery of the regal scepter. "And they bowed the knee before Him" (Mt 27:29).

john 19:2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and arrayed Him in a purple robe;
