St. Basil the Great:
Were you struck in the face? So too was the Lord. Were you spat upon? And so is our Lord. Were you falsely accused? So to was your judge. Did they tear your garments? They stretched my Lord and divided his garments among them. You have not yet been condemned to death; nor fastened upon a cross. Many things are wanting before you become like to him.
