Exegesis
The verse opens with the conjunction kai {καί | kaí}, linking this scene closely to the preceding actions.
A second coordinated clause, introduced by kai {καί | kaí}, features the verb perititheasin {περιτιθέασιν | peritithéasin} with the dative auto {αὐτῷ | autō}, “they place around him,” governing the object phrase akanthinon stephanon {ἀκάνθινον στέφανον | akánthinon stéphanon} “a thorny crown.”
In context — Mark 15:17
And they clothed Him in purple , and after weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on Him.
