Matthew 27:28 Summary
This verse tells us that the soldiers stripped Jesus of His clothes and put a scarlet robe on Him to mock Him. They did not believe He was a king, so they pretended to give Him royal clothes. This was very humiliating for Jesus, but He did not fight back or try to defend Himself, as we see in 1 Peter 2:23. Instead, He trusted in God's plan and allowed Himself to be treated this way, just like it was prophesied in Isaiah 50:6, and this shows us the true meaning of humility and surrender to God's will.
