PRAETORIUM

Mark 15:16

16. And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

17. And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

18. And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

19. And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshiped him.

20. And when they had mocked him, they took of the purple from him, and put on his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

Matthew 27:27

27. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

John 18:28

28. Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgement: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

In the New Testament, praetorium refers to the palace of Pontius Pilate, the Roman procurator of Judea. According to the New Testament, this is where Jesus Christ was tried and condemned to death.
