And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

Matthew 27:30 (KJV)

Commentary on Matthew 27:30

They spit upon him (ἐνέπτυσαν, enéptysan)—the ultimate ancient Near Eastern gesture of contempt (Numbers 12:14, Deuteronomy 25:9). Jesus receives the spittle of soldiers, fulfilling Isaiah 50:6: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.Took the reed, and smote him on the head—the mock scepter becomes an instrument of torture, driving thorns deeper. The head that will be crowned with glory (Hebrews 2:9) is beaten. The irony: they strike the Judge of all the earth while he restrains twelve legions of angels (Matthew 26:53).
