What Does Matthew 27:30 Mean?
The mockery turns to violence. The soldiers spit on Jesus in contempt and take the reed they had given Him to beat Him about the head, driving the thorns deeper.
Spit and blows fall upon the face of the Lord, the deepest of insults heaped on the gentlest of men. He who could summon legions of angels receives the abuse in silence. The prophetic word of a servant who gave His back to the smiters and hid not His face from shame is fulfilled before our eyes. In bearing this disgrace, Christ takes upon Himself the dishonor that sin deserves.
