‘The people of the Jews went at it with ferocity and scorn and spat on him for a long time; they bound, wounded, beat and mocked both the man and our true God. Cruel men selected a multitude of all kinds of torments for the prince of splendour [= God (= Christ)]; I make it clear that my breast and shoulders carried that pain, so that I could not walk.
