67 Then did they spit in his face and buffet him, and others did slap,
And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating `him'; and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, `Prophesy who he is who smote thee?' and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him.
for ye bear, if any one is bringing you under bondage, if any one doth devour, if any one doth take away, if any one doth exalt himself, if any one on the face doth smite you; in reference to dishonour I speak, how that we were weak, and in whatever any one is bold -- in foolishness I say `it' -- I also am bold.
and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to smite him on the mouth, then Paul said unto him, `God is about to smite thee, thou whitewashed wall, and thou -- thou dost sit judging me according to the law, and, violating law, dost order me to be smitten!'
And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword. They have abominated me, They have kept far from me, And from before me have not spared to spit. Because His cord He loosed and afflicteth me, And the bridle from before me, They have cast away.
