Now [as] these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

A crushed reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not extinguish, until he brings justice to victory.

and weaving a crown of thorns, they put [it] on his head, and [put] a reed in his right hand. And kneeling down before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!"

And they spat on him [and] took the reed and repeatedly struck [him] on his head.

And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge and filled [it] with sour wine and put [it] on a reed [and] gave [it] to him to drink.

For by what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and by what measure you measure out, it will be measured out to you.

He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took [and] put into three measures of wheat flour until the whole [batch] was leavened."

And you--fill up the measure of your fathers!
