All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying,]

"He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!"

Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong [bulls] of Bashan have encircled Me.

I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me.

But in my adversity they rejoiced And gathered together; Attackers gathered against me, And I did not know [it;] They tore [at me] and did not cease;

Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue me from their destructions, My precious [life] from the lions.

Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies; Nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.

They also opened their mouth wide against me, [And] said, "Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen [it."]

Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Shame has covered my face.

You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor; My adversaries [are] all before You.

Reproach has broken my heart, And I am full of heaviness; I looked [for someone] to take pity, but [there was] none; And for comforters, but I found none.

For they persecute the [ones] You have struck, And talk of the grief of those You have wounded.

I also have become a reproach to them; [When] they look at me, they shake their heads.

" [Is it] nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold and see If there is any sorrow like my sorrow, Which has been brought on me, Which the LORD has inflicted In the day of His fierce anger.

All who pass by clap [their] hands at you; They hiss and shake their heads At the daughter of Jerusalem: "[Is] this the city that is called 'The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth'?"

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads

and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build [it] in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

"We heard Him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.' "

Then they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming!

"Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, 'Some wild beast has devoured him.' We shall see what will become of his dreams!"

and said, "This [fellow] said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.' "

So the Jews answered and said to Him, "What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?"

Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"

Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
