Wisdom 2:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ For if he be the true son of God, he will defend him, and will deliver him from the hands of his enemies.

¹⁹ Let us examine him by outrages and tortures, that we may know his meekness and try his patience.

²⁰ Let us condemn him to a most shameful death: for there shall be respect had unto him by his words.
