15:15-21 Christ met death in its greatest terror. It was the death of the vilest malefactors. Thus the cross and the shame are put together. God having been dishonoured by the sin of man, Christ made satisfaction by submitting to the greatest disgrace human nature could be loaded with. It was a cursed death; thus it was branded by the Jewish law, De 21:23. The Roman soldiers mocked our Lord Jesus as a King; thus in the high priest's hall the servants had mocked him as a Prophet and Saviour. Shall a purple or scarlet robe be matter of pride to a Christian, which was matter of reproach and shame to Christ? He wore the crown of thorns which we deserved, that we might wear the crown of glory which he merited. We were by sin liable to everlasting shame and contempt; to deliver us, our Lord Jesus submitted to shame and contempt. He was led forth with the workers of iniquity, though he did no sin. The sufferings of the meek and holy Redeemer, are ever a source of instruction to the believer, of which, in his best hours, he cannot be weary. Did Jesus thus suffer, and shall I, a vile sinner, fret or repine? Shall I indulge anger, or utter reproaches and threats because of troubles and injuries?

And they smote him on the head with a reed,.... Or cane, a walking stick which they had put into his hands for a sceptre: this they took out again, and struck him on the head with it, which drove the sharp pointed thorns into his temples: and did spit upon him; "upon his face", as the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions read: and bowing their knees, as to a sovereign prince, worshipped him; saying the above words, hail, king of the Jews? See Gill on Matthew 27:29, Matthew 27:30.

Verse 19. - And they smote his head with a reed - the same reed, according to St. Matthew ( Matthew 27:29, 30 ), which they bad first put into his right hand as a scepter, to complete the mocking symbolism - and did spit upon him ( ἐνέπτυον αὐτῷ ). The verb is in the imperfect; they did it again and again. Mark 15:19

Worshipped him - Mocked him with the "appearance" of homage. The word "worship" here denotes only the respect and honor shown to princes and kings. It does not refer to any "religious" homage. They regarded him as foolishly and madly claiming to be a king - not as claiming to be divine.

[Bible] 14:72. And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep, Mark Chapter 15 The continuation of the history of the passion. 15:1. And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away and delivered him to Pilate. 15:2. And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it. 15:3. And the chief priests accused him in many things. 15:4. And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? Behold in how many things they accuse thee. 15:5. But Jesus still answered nothing: so that Pilate wondered. 15:6. Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded. 15:7. And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder. 15:8. And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do as he had ever done unto them. 15:9. And Pilate answered them and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews? 15:10. For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy. 15:11. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 15:12. And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews? 15:13. But they again cried out: Crucify him. 15:14. And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him. 15:15. And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas: and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 15:16. And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace: and they called together the whole band. 15:17. And they clothed him with purple: and, platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him.

OUR last attempt was to prove that the meritorious cause of the believer's justification is the righteousness of Christ. But how is it that this righteousness avails for us, or that its justifying efficacy is made ours? The answer to this question leads us to the doctrine of imputation. The Catechism says that Christ's righteousness is imputed to us. This Latin word, to reckon or account to any one, is sometimes employed in the English Scriptures as the translation of bv'h;, logizomai, ellogew, and correctly. Of the former we have instances in Genesis 15:6; 38:15; 2 Samuel 19:19; of the next in Mark 15:28; Romans 2:26; 4:5, etc.; Galatians 3:6, etc.; and of the last, in Romans 5:13; Philem. 18. Defined.
