²⁴ Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

² And the high priest, Ananias, gave orders to those who were near him to give him a blow on the mouth.

¹ And you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, the least among the families of Judah, out of you one will come to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose going out has been purposed from time past, from the eternal days.

³⁰ Let his face be turned to him who gives him blows; let him be full of shame.

²⁰ Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.

¹⁸ If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.

¹⁹ And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship.

²⁰ And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.

⁶⁵ And some put shame on him and, covering his face, gave him blows and said to him, Now say what is to come: and the captains took him and gave him blows with their hands.

⁴² A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

⁴³ He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁶⁸ Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a blow!

³⁹ But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.

²⁶ The Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada the priest, to be an overseer in the house of the Lord for every man who is off his head and is acting as a prophet, to put such men in prison and in chains.

²⁷ So why have you made no protest against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is acting as a prophet to you?

¹⁰ Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and it was broken by his hands.

¹¹ And before all the people Hananiah said, The Lord has said, Even so will I let the yoke of the king of Babylon be broken off the necks of all the nations in the space of two years. Then the prophet Jeremiah went away.

⁵ And I have not put myself against him, or let my heart be turned back from him.

⁶ I was offering my back to those who gave me blows, and my face to those who were pulling out my hair: I did not keep my face covered from marks of shame.

²³ Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of his face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

²⁴ And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.

¹¹ And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.
