They reviled him therefore, and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.
But if thou art called a Jew and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.
Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.
And we labour, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and we bless; we are persecuted, and we suffer it.
They answered, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:
Hearken to me, you that know what is just, my people who have my law in your heart: fear ye not the reproach of men and be not afraid of their blasphemies.
