SCRIPTURE

"For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me." — Romans 15:3 (ASV)

The reproaches. . . .—Literally, according to the Septuagint version of Psalm 69:9, one of those Psalms of suffering which, like Isaiah 53, provides a type of the sufferings of the Messiah.

Reproached thee fell on me.—The insults directed against God Himself fell upon His servants.
