Matthew 27:30 Context
28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29¶ And when they had platted a crowne of thornes, they put it vpon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Haile king of the Iewes. 30And they spit vpon him, and tooke the reed, and smote him on the head. 31And after that they had mocked him, they tooke the robe off from him, and put his owne raiment on him, and led him away to crucifie him. 32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to beare his Crosse.

Mt 27:30 They spat upon him. In order to show still greater contempt. Brutal as these heathen soldiers were, they were no more so than the Jewish Sanhedrin had been.
