"The multitude were clamorous for the blood of Jesus. They cruelly scourged Him, and put upon Him an old purple kingly robe, and bound His sacred head with a crown of thorns. They put a reed into His hand, and bowed to Him, and mockingly saluted Him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” They then took the reed from His hand and smote Him with it upon the head, causing the thorns to penetrate His temples, sending the blood trickling down His face and beard. EW 170.1"
"And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!"
The EGW passage closely mirrors the description of Jesus' mocking and torture, including the crown of thorns, reed, and false salutations, as described in Matthew 27:29.
"It was difficult for the angels to endure the sight. They would have delivered Jesus, but the commanding angels forbade them, saying that it was a great ransom which was to be paid for man; but it would be complete and would cause the death of him who had the power of death. Jesus knew that angels were witnessing the scene of His humiliation. The weakest angel could have caused that mocking throng to fall powerless and could have delivered Jesus. He knew that if He should desire it of His Father, angels would instantly release Him. But it was necessary that He should suffer the violence of wicked men, in order to carry out the plan of salvation. EW 170.2"
"Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?"
Both passages discuss Jesus' ability to call upon angels for assistance, but choosing not to in order to fulfill God's plan.
"Jesus stood meek and humble before the infuriated multitude, while they offered Him the vilest abuse. They spit in His face—that face from which they will one day desire to hide, which will give light to the city of God and shine brighter than the sun. Christ did not cast upon the offenders an angry look. They covered His head with an old garment, blindfolding Him, and then struck Him in the face and cried out, “Prophesy, who is it that smote Thee?” There was commotion among the angels. They would have rescued Him instantly; but their commanding angels restrained them. EW 170.3"
"Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,"
The EGW passage directly references the spitting and striking of Jesus, mirroring the events described in Matthew 26:67.
"He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."
Both passages highlight Jesus' silence and meekness in the face of abuse, aligning with the description of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53:7.
"And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."
The EGW passage mentions Jesus' face shining brighter than the sun and giving light to the city of God, which could be an allusion to Revelation 21:23, where the Lamb is the light of the city. However, the connection is not as direct as the other examples.
