Then they reviled him and said, “Yoʋ are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses.
Those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads
Blessed are you when others reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why are you seeking to kill me?”
They answered him, “Yoʋ were born entirely in sin, and yet yoʋ are trying to teach us?” And they threw him out.
Behold, yoʋ call yoʋrself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God.
We labor, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;
nor the greedy, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten but entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
