Contextual Overview

1 Then Pilate ordered that Jesus be taken away and whipped. 2 The soldiers made a crown from some thorny branches and put it on Jesus' head and put a purple robe around him. 3 Then they came to him many times and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and hit him in the face. 4 Again Pilate came out and said to them, "Look, I am bringing Jesus out to you. I want you to know that I find nothing against him." 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!" 6 When the leading priests and the guards saw Jesus, they shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" But Pilate answered, "Crucify him yourselves, because I find nothing against him." 7 The leaders answered, "We have a law that says he should die, because he said he is the Son of God." 8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid. 9 He went back inside the palace and asked Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus did not answer him. 10 Pilate said, "You refuse to speak to me? Don't you know I have power to set you free and power to have you crucified?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,.... This was an emblem of his being surrounded by wicked men, sons of Belial, comparable to thorns, whilst he hung suffering on the cross; and of the sins of his people compassing him about, which were as thorns, very grievous to him; and of his various troubles in life, and of his being made a curse for us at death; thorns being the produce of the curse upon the earth.

And put it on his head: not only by way of derision, as mocking at his character, the King of the Jews, but in order to afflict and distress him.

And they put on him a purple robe: Matthew calls it a scarlet robe; and the Arabic and Persic versions here, "a red" one: it very probably was one of the soldiers' coats, which are usually red: this was still in derision of him as a king, and was an emblem of his being clothed with our purple and scarlet sins, and of the bloody sufferings of his human nature for them, and through which we come to have a purple covering, or to be justified by his blood, and even to be made truly kings, as well as priests, unto God.
