Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band {of soldiers}. {common hall: or, governor's house}

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were {our} faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. {we hid...: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries {are} all before thee.

Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And {Pilate} saith unto them, Behold the man!

And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.

Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, {and} his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, {and} the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. {whom man...: or, that is despised in soul}

But I {am} a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of {our} faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. {author: or, beginner}

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, {saying},

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.

And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, {saying}, {shoot...: Heb. open}

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put {it} on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till {there was} no remedy. {remedy: Heb. healing}

And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing {their} knees worshipped him.

For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify {him}: and the third day he shall rise again.

And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me. {was deceived: or, was enticed}

And others had trial of {cruel} mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his {head},

And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this {matter}.
