Verse 11
11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him , and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
Ver. 11. Set him at nought ] Gr. εξουθενησας , made nobody of him.
Arrayed him in a gorgeous robe ] Or a white robe, as the old interpreter hath it, λαμπραν . Pilate’s soldiers clad our Saviour in purple (a colour more affected by the Romans), Herod in white, as more affected by the Jewish nobility.
Mocked him ] Gr. εμπαιξας , handled him like a boy, or made a baby of him, made sport with him.
