During his earthly ministry, Jesus was spit upon, flogged, and persecuted by his enemies, betrayed by a close associate, and even abandoned by his own followers.
Oma maise teenistuse ajal koges Jeesus väga halba kohtlemist: vaenlased sülitasid tema peale, piitsutasid teda, kiusasid teda taga, lähedane kaaslane reetis ta ning mõned tema järelkäijad hülgasid ta.
