Wisdom 2:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ Let us see then if his words be true, and let us prove what shall happen to him, and we shall know what his end shall be.

¹⁸ For if he be the true son of God, he will defend him, and will deliver him from the hands of his enemies.

¹⁹ Let us examine him by outrages and tortures, that we may know his meekness and try his patience.
