And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he sends forth justice unto victory.

And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

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

And immediately 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 you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you again.
