It seems a little improbable that the Roman soldiers mocked Jesus so readily, as it would have become known quite quickly that their commanding officer, Pontius Pilate, had been an unwilling participant in ordering his crucifixion. Nevertheless, the gospels say that they mocked him.

They say that Jesus was given a crown of thorns to represent a claim that he was king of the Jews, and an incription on the cross called him "King of the Jews." They called upon him to come down off the cross if he was really the Son of God.

After the death of Jesus, Mark 15:39 has the centurion mockingly say, "Truly this man was the Son of God." In copying Mark's Gospel, the authors of Matthew and Luke thought better to change this remark from one of mocking irony to one of belief and acceptance, while John omits it altogether.
