Though beaten and insulted, we should accept it all.

People of Jerusalem, gather your forces! We are besieged! They are attacking the leader of Israel!

But now I tell you: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too.

Then they spat in his face and beat him; and those who slapped him

Then Pilate set Barabbas free for them; and after he had Jesus whipped, he handed him over to be crucified.

Some of them began to spit on Jesus, and they blindfolded him and hit him. "Guess who hit you!" they said. And the guards took him and slapped him.

They beat him over the head with a stick, spat on him, fell on their knees, and bowed down to him.

The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him.

They blindfolded him and asked him, "Who hit you? Guess!"

When Jesus said this, one of the guards there slapped him and said, "How dare you talk like that to the High Priest!"

Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God's throne.

I reprimanded the men, called down curses on them, beat them, and pulled out their hair. Then I made them take an oath in God's name that never again would they or their children intermarry with foreigners.
