A chastisement!...blow after blow
No one counts
The crown cap is pushed on Jesus' head
The jeers, the slaps, the mockery of homage
They kept coming up 'Hail, king of the Jews'
Jesus is handed back to Pilate
Pilate shows the utterly disfigured Jesus to the crowd - Ecce Homo
"Take him yourselves...
O Jesus, meek and humble of heart, deliver us
from the desire of being esteemed,
from the desire of being loved,
from the desire of being extolled,
from the desire of being honored,
from the desire of being praised,
from the desire of being preferred to others,
from the desire of being consulted,
from the desire of being approved.
