Luke 18:32

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldy! Go up, you baldy!”

They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.

Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.

Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and Yahweh’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”

saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”

He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.

to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.

who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted.

Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded.

For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.

Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.

Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which Yahweh of Armies had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from Yahweh of Armies.

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

“For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed,

But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did Yahweh’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”

So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun, but people ridiculed them and mocked them.

I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

“Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.

But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

They have denied Yahweh, and said, “It is not he. Evil will won’t come on us. We won’t see sword or famine.

The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”

He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch.”

But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,

saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”

who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,

These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and those who are with him are called chosen and faithful.”

But after our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.

They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.

God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?

For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.

But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.

They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until Yahweh’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.

Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.

Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,

Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”

When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”

They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”

him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
