The soldiers put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they twisted thorns together to make a crown. They placed it on his head.
The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace. It was called the Praetorium. They called together the whole company of soldiers.
They began to call out to him, “We honor you, king of the Jews!”
Herod and his soldiers laughed at him and made fun of him. They dressed him in a beautiful robe. Then they sent him back to Pilate.
