Those who passed by shouted at Jesus and made fun of him. They shook their headsand said,“ So you are going to destroy the temple and build it again in three days? Then save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders made fun of him.“ He saved others,” they said.“ But he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross! Then we will believe in him.He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him. He’s the one who said,‘ I am the Son of God.’ ”In the same way the rebels who were being crucified with Jesus also made fun of him.

Nehemiah 4:2-4
He spoke to his friends and the army of Samaria. He said,“ What are those Jews trying to do? Can they make their city wall like new again? Will they offer sacrifices? Can they finish everything in a single day? The stones from their city wall and buildings are piled up like trash. And everything has been badly burned. Can they use those stones to rebuild everything again?”Tobiah from Ammon was at Sanballat’s side. He said,“ What are they building? They’re putting up a stone wall. But suppose a fox climbs on top of it. Even that will break it down!”I prayed to God. I said,“ Our God, please listen to our prayer. Some people hate us. They’re saying bad things about us. So let others say bad things about them. Let them be carried off like stolen goods. Let them be taken to another country as prisoners.

Job 30:1-9
“ But now those who are younger than I am make fun of me. I wouldn’t even put their parents with my sheep dogs!Their strong hands couldn’t give me any help. That’s because their strength was gone.They were weak because they were needy and hungry. They wandered through dry and empty deserts at night.Among the bushes they gathered salty plants. They ate the roots of desert bushes.They were driven away from human society. They were shouted at as if they were robbers.They were forced to live in dry stream beds. They had to stay among rocks and in holes in the ground.Like donkeys they cried out among the bushes. There they crowded together and hid.They were so foolish that no one respected them. They were driven out of the land.“ Now their children laugh at me. They make fun of me with their songs.

1 Corinthians 4 9-1 Corinthians 4 13
It seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of a parade. We are like people sentenced to die in front of a crowd. We have been made a show for the whole creation to see. Angels and people are staring at us.We are fools for Christ. But you are so wise in Christ! We are weak. But you are so strong! You are honored. But we are looked down on!Up to this very hour we are hungry and thirsty. We are dressed in rags. We are being treated badly. We have no homes.We work hard with our own hands. When others curse us, we bless them. When we are attacked, we put up with it.When others say bad things about us, we answer with kind words. We have become the world’s garbage. We are everybody’s trash, right up to this moment.

Psalms 44:13
