And David said to Saul: Why do you listen to the words of men who say, Behold David is seeking to hurt you?

Moreover, my father, look! Indeed, see the skirt of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, recognize and consider that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you. And yet you are hunting my soul to take it.

As the proverb of the ancients says, Wickedness proceeds from the wicked. But my hand shall not be against you.

O Jehovah my God, if I have done this: if there is iniquity in my hands;

let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; yea, let him trample down my life upon the earth and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit; without cause they have dug for my soul.

They who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; my deceitful enemies who would destroy me are mighty. I am made to bring back what I did not take away.

And David said, What have I done now? Was it not just words?

Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

Jesus answered them, Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?

Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me?
