"And some began to spit on Him..."
For the Jew, to spit in a person's face was the most shameful form of insult one could give. According to the Gospel of Mark, they did this to their Messiah, to the Holy One of God. That the high and lofty One was willing to endure such irreverence, such disrespect to His person is breathtaking. Herein is love.
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. 1 John 3:16
