Losung for Saturday, February 25, 2006
I gave my back to those who struck me,
and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard;
I did not hide my face from insult and spitting.
Isaiah 50:6
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns
and put it on his head,
and they dressed him in a purple robe.
They kept coming up to him, saying,
"Hail, King of the Jews!" and striking him on the face.
John 19:1-3
