Wisdom 2:20DRA

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

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

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

21These things they thought, and were deceived: for their own malice blinded them.

22And they knew not the secrets of God, nor hoped for the wages of justice, nor esteemed the honour of holy souls.
