And these going forth, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye forth into the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

He shall not break a bruised reed, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he should draw forth judgment to victory.

And having twined a crown of thorns, they put upon, his head: and a reed upon his right hand: and having fallen upon the knees before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

And having spit upon him, they took the reed, and struck upon his head.

And quickly one of them, having run, and taken a sponge, and filled with vinegar, and put upon a reed, gave him to drink.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye measure, it shall be repaid to you.
