Mark 15:19

And they smote him on the head with a reed ,.... Or cane, a walking stick which they had put into his hands for a sceptre: this they took out again, and struck him on the head with it, which drove the sharp pointed thorns into his temples:

and did spit upon him ; "upon his face", as the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions read:

and bowing their knees , as to a sovereign prince,

worshipped him ; saying the above words, hail, king of the Jews? See Gill on Matthew 27:29 , Matthew 27:30 .
