Royalty wore purple; a practice that continues to the present day. The purpose of the robe and the crown of thorns was to make a mockery of Jesus as the "King of the Jews." (See Matthew 27:11 and 29.)
All four gospels make mention of the robe, but Luke's account doesn't specify its color.Matthew 27:28 - And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.Mark 15:17 - And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head,Luke 23:11 - Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.John 19:2 - And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.[Quotes from NKJV]
