Evening May 12
Reproach hath broken my heart.
Is not this the carpenter’s son? — Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? — Say we not well that thou are a Samaritan, and hast a devil? — He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. — We know that this man is a sinner. — He deceiveth the people. — This man blasphemeth. — Behold a man gluttonous and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. — This is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow his steps. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. — If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye.
