When he was

And the passers-by jeered at him, shaking their heads

Then the high priest got up and came forward into the center and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What about their evidence against you?"

And the passers-by jeered at him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! you who would tear down the sanctuary and build one in three days!

and they blindfolded him, and asked him, "Show that you are a prophet! Who was it that struck you?"

And he questioned him at some length, but he made him no answer.

The Jews answered, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed?"

and he went back into the governor's house and said to Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus made no answer.

This was the passage of Scripture that he was reading: "Like a sheep he was led away to be slaughtered, And just as a lamb is dumb before its shearer, He does not open his mouth.

You who are masters, too, must treat your slaves in the same way, and cease to threaten them, for you know that their Master and yours is in heaven, and that he will show no partiality.

Judgeth

But in your obstinacy and impenitence you are storing up wrath for yourself on the Day of Wrath, when the justice of God will burst forth.

This is a proof of God's justice in judging, and it is to prove you worthy of the Kingdom of God, for the sake of which you are suffering,

Now the crown of uprightness awaits me, which the Lord, the upright judge, will award me on that Day, and not only me but also all who have loved and hoped for his appearing.

Then I saw heaven thrown open and there appeared a white horse. His rider was called Faithful and True, and he judges and wages war in uprightness.
