KJV ORIGINAL
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
They twisted together a crown made of thorns and shoved it on his head, then put a stick in his right hand like a fake scepter. They got down on their knees in front of him, but only to make fun of him, shouting 'All hail the King of the Jews!' — dripping with sarcasm.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
They turned worship into mockery, not knowing they were actually kneeling before the real King.
