Overview

According to the Gospels of Mark and Matthew, after the Trial of Jesus before Pilate and the Flagellation of Jesus the Roman soldiers took Jesus into the governor's headquarters and mocked him, saluting him as the "King of the Jews."

For the Gospel of John also, the Mocking of Jesus by the Roman soldiers occurred after the Flagellation of Jesus, but still in the context of the Trial of Jesus before Pilate, before Jesus was sentenced to crucifixion.

The Gospel of Luke omits the episode, coherently to his goal to exonerate Pilate and the Romans from any wrongdoings.
