And when they had gone, Jesus began to say to the multitudes, concerning John, What went you out to the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

A bruised reed shall he not break, and a smoking flax shall be not extinguish, till he sends forth judgment to victory.

and making a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they knelt before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

And they spit on him, and took the reed and beat him on his head.

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

and you have filled up the measure of your fathers.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], but on a candlestick, and it shines to all in the house.
