Psalms 10:2
10:2 The wicked arrogantly chase the oppressed;
the oppressed are trapped by the schemes the wicked have dreamed up.
Psalms 10:14
10:14 You have taken notice,
for you always see one who inflicts pain and suffering.
The unfortunate victim entrusts his cause to you;
you deliver the fatherless.
Genesis 42:21
42:21 They said to one other, “Surely we’re being punished because of our brother, because we saw how distressed he was when he cried to us for mercy, but we refused to listen. That is why this distress has come on us!”
Job 19:2-3
19:2 “How long will you torment me
and crush me with your words?
19:3 These ten times you have been reproaching me;
you are not ashamed to attack me!
Job 19:21-22
19:21 Have pity on me, my friends, have pity on me,
for the hand of God has struck me.
19:22 Why do you pursue me like God does?
Will you never be satiated with my flesh?
Matthew 27:35-46
27:35 When
they had crucified
him,
they divided his clothes by throwing dice.
27:36 Then they sat down and kept guard over him there.
27:37 Above
his head they put the charge against him,
which read:
“This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”
27:38 Then two outlaws were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
27:39 Those
who passed by defamed him, shaking their heads
27:40 and saying, “You who can destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself!
If you are God’s Son, come down
from the cross!”
27:41 In
the same way even the chief priests – together with the experts in the law
and elders
– were mocking him:
27:42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the king of Israel! If he comes down
now from the cross, we will believe in him!
27:43 H
e trusts in God – let God, if he wants to, deliver him now because he said, ‘I am God’s Son’!”
27:44 The
robbers who were crucified with him also spoke abusively to him.
Jesus’ Death
27:45 Now from noon until three, darkness came over all the land.
27:46 At about three o’clock Jesus shouted with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
