john 19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

john 19:3 and they [began] to come up to Him, and say, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and to give Him blows [in the face].

3. And said, Hail, King of the Jews!--doing Him derisive homage, in the form used on approaching the emperors. "And they spit upon Him, and took the reed and smote Him on the head" (Mt 27:30). The best comment on these affecting details is to cover the face.

john 19:3 and they [began] to come up to Him, and say, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and to give Him blows [in the face].
