What Does Matthew 27:28 Mean?
The soldiers remove Jesus' clothing and throw a scarlet robe over Him, mimicking the purple of royalty. It is a cruel parody, dressing the prisoner as a mock king for their sport.
Stripped and then robed in false majesty, Jesus endures the soldiers' jest. The scarlet they mean as mockery clothes One who is truly royal, more truly than they know. The Lord of glory, who alone deserves the robes of a king, accepts the costume of derision, that He might one day clothe His people in garments made white in His own blood.
