Ditto. The spiritual suffering of "Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani" is beyond comparison or even our human comprehension. The physical suffering was horrendous as well, for "His visage was marred beyond any man" so that His face did not even appear human. The emotional suffering of the betrayals, griefs, and remorses of our sins must be added as well. Every time we sin, we spit, we mock, we lash.

Every time we sin, we spit, we mock, we lash.

It's weird, isn't it? When I think about it, I feel awful, and then I forget, and sin again! I'm thankful that St. Paul understood how I feel. See Romans 7:15 "What I do, I do not understand. For I do not do what I want, but I do what I hate." and Romans 7:19 "For I do not do the good I want, but I do the evil I do not want." and Romans 7:24-25 "Miserable one that I am! Who will deliver me from this mortal body? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore I myself, with my mind, serve the law of God but, with my flesh, the law of sin."

Another thing that was mentioned in Isaiah was that He had given His cheecks to those who pluck the beard. So that was something else that was left out, He apparently had His beard either entirely or partially plucked from His face. What wasn't done to our Savior?!
