A Prophecy of the Cross
Commentators unanimously identify this verse as a precise prophecy of Jesus' crucifixion. The specific actions of being laughed to scorn, the mocking gesture of 'shooting out the lip,' and the derisive 'shaking of the head' are all recorded as happening to Jesus in the Gospels, particularly in Matthew 27:39 and Luke 23:35.
