And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and struck him on the head.
All Commentaries on Matthew 27:30 Go To Matthew 27
Rabanus Maurus
AD 856
They smite the head of Christ with a reed, who speak against His divinity, and endeavour to maintain their error by the authority of Holy Scripture, which is written by a reed. They spit upon His face who reject in abominable words the presence of His grace, and deny that Jesus is come in the flesh. And they mock Him with adoration who believe on Him, but despise Him with perverse works.
