⁶⁸ saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?

⁶³ And the men that held `Jesus' mocked him, and beat him.

⁶⁴ And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee?

⁶⁵ And many other things spake they against him, reviling him.

⁶⁵ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands.

⁴ unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,

⁵ ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁶ Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

⁷ For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;

² And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;

³ and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.

³⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹ In like manner also the chief priests mocking `him', with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.

⁴³ He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

²⁹ And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

²⁵ And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made sport before them. And they set him between the pillars:

¹⁹ And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

²⁰ Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, And evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
