What does the Bible say about Jesus being mocked before his crucifixion?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes how soldiers mocked Jesus by dressing him in a purple robe and placing a crown of thorns on his head, proclaiming him 'King of the Jews' in a mocking manner.

In the account of Mark 15:15-32, we see the extent of mockery that Jesus endured prior to his crucifixion. The soldiers, after scourging him, clothed him with a purple robe, symbolizing royalty, and fashioned a crown of thorns which they pressed down on his head, causing him pain and humiliation. They saluted him with exclamations like 'Hail, King of the Jews!' as they bowed mockingly before him. This cruel treatment highlights both the depravity of human nature and the prophetic fulfillment of Scripture that foretold such mistreatment of the Messiah.
