Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - And they smote his head with a reed - the same reed, according to St. Matthew (Matthew 27:29, 30), which they bad first put into his right hand as a scepter, to complete the mocking symbolism - and did spit upon him (ἐνέπτυον αὐτῷ). The verb is in the imperfect; they did it again and again.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) They smote . . . did spit . . . worshipped.--All three verbs are in the tense which implies frequent repetition.
