©️2021 by Gloria M. Chang
Weaving a crown out of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” They spat upon him and took the reed and kept striking him on the head.
Matthew 27:29-30
I gave my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who tore out my beard;
My face I did not hide from insults and spitting.
