Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters, and they gathered the whole cohort around him.

They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on his head.

They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

MEDITATION PROMPT

More decorated men took the prisoner away and are brutalizing him now.

I cannot watch, yet I cannot turn away.

What violence lies in men; cruelty, even!

From atop a large piece of wood leaning nearby I see him stand there like a lamb accepting its fate.

Why doesn't he cry out?
