Soldiers: Crucified Jesus

Source: Nav

Matthew 27:27, 31–37 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him. / After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him. / Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Mark 15:16–24 Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together. / They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head. / And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”
John 19:23, 24 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. / So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.
