“And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.”
Matthew 27:28 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 27:28
They stripped him (ἐκδύσαντες, ekdysantes)—complete public humiliation, exposing Jesus naked before soldiers. A scarlet robe (χλαμύδα κοκκίνην, chlamyda kokkinēn)—a military cloak, likely a worn-out soldier's cape, mimicking royal purple.This stripping fulfills Psalm 22:18 (they part my garments among them) and anticipates the permanent stripping of his seamless tunic (John 19:23-24). The scarlet robe parodies royal investiture while ironically pointing to Isaiah 1:18 (though your sins be as scarlet)—Jesus bears our crimson guilt.
