THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK - Chapter 15 - Verse 19

Verse 19. Worshipped him. Mocked him with the appearance of homage. The word worship here denotes only the respect and honour done to princes and kings. It does not refer to any religious homage. They regarded him as foolishly and madly claiming to be a king—not as claiming to be Divine.

{c} "spit upon him" Mr 14:65
