Mark 15:17-20
17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, 18 and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him. 20 And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
Even the Romans mocked Jesus as King, dressing Him up as royalty and then abusing Him with the symbols of authority. When they were done, they just calmly took off the things and led Jesus off to the slaughter as a man. But as God and man, Jesus willingly went to sacrifice Himself - even for these mockers...and us.
