Lyrics to Scarlet Purple Robe

Scarlet Purple Robe

1

There’s a story so unkind in the Holy book we find

And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day

False accused and there condemned yet they found no fault with Him

The man who wore the scarlet purple robe

chorus

Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore

As He stood alone, forsaken on that day

And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red

His raiment was a scarlet purple robe

2

In the common judgment hall he was mocked and scorned by all

And a tear of sorrow fell upon His cheek

Soldiers of the wicked man smote Him with their evil hand

The Man who wore the scarlet purple robe

3

Words of truth that day were plain from the lips of Pilot came

In this man I find no reason He should die

But the multitudes replied let Him now be crucified

The man who wore the scarlet purple robe

The word blow is "ῥάπισμα" in Greek

Here is Blow in Vines Expository Dictionary Volume 2 page 71

BLOW (Noun)

rhapisma (ῥάπισμα, 4475), (a) “a blow with a rod or staff,” (b) “a blow with the hand, a slap or cuff,” is found in three places; of the maltreatment of Christ by the officials or attendants of the high priest, Mark 14:65, RV, “received (according to the most authentic mss.) Him with blows of their hands,” (KJV, “did strike Him with the palms of their hands”); that they received, or took, Him would indicate their rough handling of Him; John 18:22 and 19:3; in all three places the RV marg. gives the meaning (a), as to the use of a rod.¶

So with the corresponding verb rhapizo, in Matt. 26:67. The soldiers subsequently beat Him with a reed, Matthew 27:30, where tupto, “to beat,” is used; 

Mat 27:30 καὶ ἐμπτύσαντες εἰς αὐτὸν ἔλαβον τὸν κάλαμον καὶ ἔτυπτον εἰς τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. 

“Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with them into their barracks, gathered together before Him the whole detachment of soldiers stationed at the palace of the governor. And having stripped Him of all His clothing, they threw around Him a scarlet military cloak, and having woven a victor’s crown composed of thorns, they placed it upon His head, and a staff made of a reed in His right hand. And having fallen upon their knees in a mock expression of reverence and honor before Him, they mocked Him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews. And having spit on Him they took the staff and kept on striking Him on the head with it. And when they had mocked Him, they took off from Him the military cloak and put on Him His garments. And they led Him away to crucify Him. And as they were going they found a man, a Cyrenian, his name, Simon. This man they commandeered that he might pick up and carry His cross.”

Matthew 27:28–31 (MSB): 27:28 scarlet robe. Mark 15:17 and John 19:2 say “purple,” suggesting that the robe may have been something between royal purple, and “scarlet,” the closest thing they could find to the traditional garb of royalty. The word for “robe” refers to a military cloak undoubtedly belonging to one of the soldiers.

Matthew 27:29 a reed in His right hand. To imitate a scepter they purposely chose something flimsy-looking.

Matthew 27:30 they spat on Him. See Is. 50:6. struck Him on the head. A reed long enough to make a mock scepter would be firm enough to be extremely painful, about like a broom handle. John 19:3 says they hit him with their fists as well.---MSB

For you readers from the Inland Empire, this is a form of the word Smiteage. The majority of times that the word Smite is used in the bible it is God doing the Smiting and not evil men like the ones in the song with the lyrics above.
