Overview

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

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