And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
Ver. 11. Set him at nought] Gr. εξουθενησας, made nobody of him.
Arrayed him in a gorgeous robe] Or a white robe, as the old interpreter hath it, λαμπραν. Pilate's soldiers clad our Saviour in purple (a colour more affected by the Romans), Herod in white, as more affected by the Jewish nobility.
Mocked him] Gr. εμπαιξας, handled him like a boy, or made a baby of him, made sport with him.
