This second session was to be held on the day following the first, and the [[intervening]] time was to be spent in [[fasting]] and [[mourning]] by the [[members]] of the [[court]]. But these men could not await the next day for the [[confirmation]] of their [[decision]] that [[Jesus]] must die. They waited only one hour. In the meantime [[Jesus]] was left in the [[audience]] chamber in the [[custody]] of the temple guards, who, with the [[servants]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol high priest], amused themselves by heaping every sort of indignity upon the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man]. They [[mocked]] him, [[spit]] upon him, and [[cruelly]] buffeted him. They would strike him in the [[face]] with a rod and then say, " Prophesy to us, you the Deliverer, who it was that struck you.

184:4.2 During this [[tragic]] hour of [[suffering]] and [[mock]] [[trials]] before the [[ignorant]] and unfeeling guards and [[servants]], [[John Zebedee]] waited in lonely [[terror]] in an adjoining room. When these [[abuses]] first started, [[Jesus]] indicated to [[John, the Apostle|John]], by a nod of his head, that he should retire. [[The Master]] well knew that, if he [[permitted]] his [[apostle]] to remain in the room to [[witness]] these indignities, [[John, the Apostle|John]]'s resentment would be so aroused as to produce such an outbreak of [[protesting]] [[indignation]] as would probably result in his [[death]].

184:4.3 Throughout this awful hour [[Jesus]] [[Silence|uttered no word]]. To this [[gentle]] and [[sensitive]] [[soul]] of [[humankind]], joined in [[personality]] [[relationship]] with the [[God]] of all [[Nebadon|this universe]], there was no more bitter portion of his cup of [[humiliation]] than this terrible hour at the [[mercy]] of these [[ignorant]] and [[cruel]] guards and [[servants]], who had been [[stimulated]] to [[abuse]] him by the example of the [[members]] of this so-called [[Sanhedrist]] [[court]].

184:4.4 The [[human]] [[heart]] cannot possibly [[conceive]] of the shudder of [[indignation]] that swept out over a vast [[universe]] as the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39 celestial intelligences] [[witnessed]] this [[sight]] of their beloved [[Master Son|Sovereign]] submitting himself to the will of his [[ignorant]] and misguided [[creatures]] on the [[sin]]-[[darkened]] [[sphere]] of unfortunate [[Urantia]].

184:4.5 What is this [[trait]] of the [[animal]] in [[man]] which leads him to want to insult and [[physically]] [[assault]] that which he cannot [[spiritually]] [[attain]] or [[intellectually]] achieve? In the half-civilized man there still lurks an [[evil]] [[brutality]] which seeks to vent itself upon those who are superior in [[wisdom]] and [[spiritual]] [[attainment]]. [[Witness]] the [[evil]] coarseness and the brutal ferocity of these supposedly [[civilized]] men as they derived a certain form of [[animal]] [[pleasure]] from this [[physical]] [[attack]] upon the [[unresisting]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man]. As these insults, taunts, and blows fell upon [[Jesus]], he was undefending but not [[defenseless]]. [[Jesus]] was not vanquished, merely uncontending in the [[material]] sense.

184:4.6 These are the [[moments]] of [[the Master]]'s greatest [[victories]] in all his long and [[eventful]] [[career]] as [[Creator|maker]], upholder, and [[savior]] of a [[Nebadon|vast and far-flung universe]].
