29: The soldiers wove together thorns into a crown for Jesus. It is not certain what exact type of thorn bush was used; but, in any case, the thorns would have been fairly large. The reed was some stick or stalk that was available to the soldiers in that place. With the robe, crown, and the reed in his right hand, Jesus would resemble a king. The soldiers then made sport of him. Pretending to truly bow in homage, they hailed him as the king of the Jews.
