Luke 23:11 also mentions that "Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him" (New Revised Standard Version).
Pilate's soldiers took Jesus into the governor's palace. They stripped off his clothes and put a scarlet robe on him.
Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was told by the crowd to be quiet. In their opinion, he did not deserve to have Jesus listen to him. Bartimaeus refused to be quiet and shouted all the louder as he wanted to meet Jesus. Jesus on hearing his insistence called him over and asked him what he wanted.
Jesus was also mocked while he was on the cross. According to Mark 15:29-30, this was done by those who passed by and hurled insults at him and told him to come down from the cross.
Biblical accounts suggest that Jesus foresaw and allowed Judas's betrayal. As told in the New Testament Gospels, Judas betrayed Jesus for "30 pieces of silver," identifying him with a kiss in front of Roman soldiers. Later the guilt-ridden Judas returns the bribe and commits suicide, according to the Bible.
The Jews mocked Jesus' claim to be Messiah (26:63, 67-68, including the words "Prophesy to us, Christ"); the Gentiles mock his claim to be King (27:11, 28-29, including the words "Hail, King of the Jews!"). The "scarlet robe" was a Roman soldier's cloak; its color suggested the imperial purple (cf.
The Denial of Peter (or Peter's Denial) refers to three acts of denial of Jesus by the Apostle Peter as described in all four Gospels of the New Testament.

It's the greatest story never told: that of a boy who met Jesus and dared to ask Him all the questions that have consumed mankind since the dawn of time. His name was Segatashya. He was a shepherd born into a penniless and illiterate pagan family in the most remote region of Rwanda.
Jesus' name in Hebrew was “Yeshua” which translates to English as Joshua. So how did we get the name “Jesus”?
He was born of a Jewish mother, in Galilee, a Jewish part of the world. All of his friends, associates, colleagues, disciples, all of them were Jews. He regularly worshipped in Jewish communal worship, what we call synagogues. He preached from Jewish text, from the Bible.
Once one of Jesus's most trusted disciples, Judas became the poster child for treachery and cowardice. From the moment he plants a kiss on Jesus of Nazareth in the Garden of Gethsemane, Judas Iscariot sealed his own fate: to be remembered as history's most famous traitor.
Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly. Mark 14:66–72.
The wording shows that Israel did exactly what He did not want them to do. They sought satisfaction and fulfillment in the world in things that do not satisfy. They believed the world's word and practiced as it did, thus rejecting God and His Word.
Today's passage gives us evidence of this. Once Jesus, during His trial before the Jewish authorities, claimed to be the Son of God and to be the Son of Man who would come on the clouds of heaven, the high priest tore his clothes and proclaimed that Jesus had uttered blasphemy (Mark 14:63–64a).

[3] And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. [4] And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. [5] But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
-- F.B. DEAR F.B.: No, Judas was not forgiven for his betrayal of Jesus -- and one reason is because he could not bring himself to repent of the sin he had committed. You see, there's a difference between feeling sorry over something we have done, and actually repenting of it.
Following the arrest of Jesus, Peter denied knowing him three times, but after the third denial heard the rooster crow and recalled the prediction as Jesus turned to look at him. Peter then began to cry bitterly.
