Senses in use

  1. Garment put on and removed in mocking · dominant

    The accusative singular feminine form occurs as the garment placed on Jesus in Matthew 27:28 and removed after the mocking in Matthew 27:31. In Matthew 27:28 the APB renders the action, "put a scarlet robe on him," and in Matthew 27:31 it renders, "they stripped him of the robe."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the garment as a "robe," first put on Jesus and then removed. This reflects the clause-level presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
