أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا لَيْسَ بِي شَيْطَانٌ، لكِنِّي أُكْرِمُ أَبِي وَأَنْتُمْ تُهِينُونَنِي.Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.John 8:49, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَعَادَ وَأَرْسَلَ عَبْدًا آخَرَ، فَجَلَدُوا ذلِكَ أَيْضًا وَأَهَانُوهُ، وَأَرْسَلُوهُ فَارِغًا.And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.Luke 20:11, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
