'Bent' in the Bible

And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you -- let him first cast the stone at her;'

And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those -- thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
