And they departing, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went you out in the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind?

The bruised reed He will not break, and He will not quench the smoking wick, until He may send forth judgment unto victory.

and plaiting a crown of thorns put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and bowing the knee to Him, continued to mock Him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

And spitting on Him, they took the reed and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

And one of them running and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, and extending it on a reed, gave Him drink.

For with what criticism you criticise, you will be criticised: and with what measure you measure, it will be measured unto you.

And he spake another parable unto them; The kingdom of the heavens is like unto the leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.

And you fill up the measure of your fathers.
