In Matthew 27:28, the robe was "scarlet", and in Mark 15:20 and John 19:2 the robe was "purple". While in Luke 23:11 it was said to be a "gorgeous" robe.
So what color was the Robe that was placed on Jesus at the crucifixion. Was it Purple or Scarlet?

And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:

"Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?" Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

  • a) to proceed on straight paths, hold a straight course, equiv. to doing right
• 2) to make straight and smooth, to handle aright, to teach the truth directly and correctly

Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made a richly ornamented robe for him.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

When the female of the scarlet worm species 
was ready to give birth to her young, she would 
attach her body to the trunk of a tree, fixing 
herself so firmly and permanently that she would 
never leave again. The eggs deposited beneath 
her body were thus protected until the larvae were 
hatched and able to enter their own life cycle. 
As the mother died, the crimson fluid stained her 
body and the surrounding wood. From the dead 
bodies of such female scarlet worms, the commercial 
scarlet dyes of antiquity were extracted. What a picture 
this gives of Christ, dying on the tree, shedding his 
precious blood that he might "bring many sons unto glory" 

"#Heb 2:10" He died for us, that we might live through him! 

"#Ps 22:6" describes such a worm and gives us this 
picture of Christ.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. And this [is] the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair],

Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle [with] ten curtains [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.

And they made coats [of] fine linen [of] woven work for Aaron, and for his sons, And a mitre [of] fine linen, and goodly bonnets [of] fine linen, and linen breeches [of] fine twined linen, And a girdle [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [of] needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses. And they made the plate of the holy crown [of] pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, [like to] the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these [is, there is] no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And [having] an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
