²⁹ And those who went by made sport of him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ha! you who give the Temple to destruction, and put it up again in three days,

⁵⁸ He said in our hearing, I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands, and in three days I will make another without hands.

²⁵ As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.

¹⁵ All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?

¹² Come to me, all you who go by! Keep your eyes on me, and see if there is any pain like the pain of my wound, which the Lord has sent on me in the day of his burning wrath.

¹⁸ Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?

¹⁹ And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.

²⁰ The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!

²¹ But his words were about that holy building which was his body.

²² So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

³⁹ And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying,

⁴⁰ You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁶¹ But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.

²⁶ Because they are cruel to him against whom your hand is turned; they make bitter the grief of him who is wounded by you.

¹⁹ You have seen my shame, how I was laughed at and made low; my haters are all before you.

²⁰ My heart is broken by bitter words, I am full of grief; I made a search for some to have pity on me, but there was no one; I had no comforter.

⁷ I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame.

¹⁵ But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me.

¹⁶ Like men of deceit they put me to shame; the voice of their wrath was loud against me.

¹⁷ Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.

¹⁸ I will give you praise in the great meeting; I will give you honour among a strong people.

¹⁹ Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.

²⁰ For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.

²¹ Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

¹² A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.

¹³ I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.

¹⁴ I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.

⁷ I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,

⁸ He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.

¹⁹ Saying to one another, See, here comes this dreamer.

²⁰ Let us now put him to death and put his body into one of these holes, and we will say, An evil beast has put him to death: then we will see what becomes of his dreams.
