And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?

A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory.

And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.

And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you.
