Matthew 27:28 says, “And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.” (See also John 19:23-24.) Thornton observes that the exact linguistic allusion is to the Stations of the Cross, meditative stages through which the Catholic Church commemorates Christ’s journey down the Via Dolorosa or Street of Sorrows on his way to being crucified at Calvary. The text of the tenth of fourteen Stations reads, “And Jesus was stripped of his garments.”
