Exegesis
The verse is composed of two coordinated clauses joined by kai {καὶ | kaí}, both governed by the same subject hoi stratiotai {οἱ στρατιῶται | hoi stratiōtai} understood from context.
The second clause, kai himation porphyroun periebalon auton {καὶ ἱμάτιον πορφυροῦν περιέβαλον αὐτόν | kai himátion porphyroun periébalon autón}, repeats the aorist verb periebalon {περιέβαλον | periébalon}, forming another completed action in past time that parallels the first: clothing Him in a purple garment to mock royal dignity.
