What is there to say to this scene?
He became sport for the soldiers.
The only person who helped Him was forced to do so.
He was only guilty of speaking the truth and doing good yet He was being tortured to death and mocked in the process by everyone from the religious leaders to convicted criminals.
“If God wants him, let Him save him.”
I wonder if at this time Jesus took comfort in the words of Isaiah:
He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
