Bedizen
To bedizen is to dress or adorn in a showy, gaudy, or tasteless manner.
The governor’s soldiers bedizened Jesus in a robe and crown of thorns before crucifying him to mock his being the King of the Jews. (Matthew 27:27-29; Mark 15:17; Luke 23:11; John 19:2) Luke reports only the robe, omitting the thorny crown.
