17. And they clothe him with purple, and plaiting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;
18. and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19. And they smote his head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
20. And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.
21. And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.
