{Wearing} (phor(936e)). Present active participle of phore(935c),
an early frequentative of pher(935c), denoting a continual wearing,
though not true here (only temporary). Jesus bore the mockery
with kingly dignity as part of the shame of the Cross ( Heb
12:2 ). {Behold, the man} (Idou ho anthr(9370)os). _Ecce Homo!_ by
Pilate. This exclamatory introduction of Jesus in mock coronation
robes to the mob was clearly intended to excite pity and to show
how absurd the charge of the Sanhedrin was that such a pitiable
figure should be guilty of treason. Pilate failed utterly in this
effort and did not dream that he was calling attention to the
greatest figure of history, the Man of the ages.
