The Passion according to St. John

~~~~~

Und die Kriegsknechte flochten
eine Krone von Dornen
und satzten sie auf sein Haupt
und legten ihm ein Purpurkleid an
und sprachen:
Sei gegrüßet, lieber Jüdenkönig!
Und gaben ihm Backenstreiche.


And the soldiers braided
a crown of thorns
and sat it on His head
and put a purple robe on Him
and said,
Hail, dear King of the Jews!
and gave him blows to the back.
