God will do it». And such a high priest is superficially beautiful and a whitewashed wall, "full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness on the inside." But what am I saying about Paul and Jeremiah? My Lord Jesus Christ himself says: "I gave my back to scourges, and my cheeks to blows, and my face I did not turn away from the shame of spitting." The simple understand these things only of that time then, when Pilate scourged him, when the Jews plotted against him. But I see Jesus every day "giving his back to scourges." Enter into the synagogues of the Jews, and see Jesus being scourged by them with the tongue of blasphemy. See those from the nations gathering, plotting against Christians, how they take Jesus, and he "gives his own back to scourges." Consider the word of God being insulted, spoken ill of, hated by the unbelievers. See that "he gave his cheeks to blows," and having taught that if someone strikes "you on the cheek, turn the other also," he himself does this. So many strike and scourge him, and he is silent and does not speak. For it is written that he does not speak while being scourged. And "up to this point Jesus has not turned his face away from the shame of spitting." Who of those who belittle the teaching does not, as it were, spit upon the patient Jesus up to this point? 19.13 It followed that, since the prophet was struck, those who were struck should be recounted—for instance, the apostle and if any other has been struck—and to present the things concerning Jesus himself. Therefore "Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and cast him into the dungeon which was in the gate of Benjamin of the upper room." The dungeon of Benjamin was of the upper room. Jerusalem is the inheritance of Benjamin, in which is the temple of God, <as one able to hear> the divine readings will find from the recorded inheritance in the book of the son of Nun. Since, therefore, the temple was in the inheritance of Benjamin, which is interpreted Son of the right hand (for there is nothing left concerning the temple of God), for this reason he casts him "into the dungeon which was in the gate of Benjamin of the upper room of the house of the Lord." with "an upper room in the house of the Lord" being present, he "cast" the prophet "into the dungeon." And let us exhort, so that taking Jeremiah now, we may bring him up to the upper room "in the house of the Lord." And I will show <from> the scripture the upper room to be the high and elevated mind, when it testifies to the saints that they received the prophets into the upper rooms. In the third book of Kings it is written that a widow received Elijah the prophet in Zarephath of Sidon, who entertained the prophet "in her upper room." And in the fourth, she who received Elisha prepared a room for him in the upper room. But the sinner Ahaziah fell from the upper room. And Jesus commands you also not to come down from the housetop. "For when," he says, "these things and these things happen, then let him who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house." The one fleeing in the persecutions should not not go up to the housetop, but from the housetop "let him not go down to take what is in his house." It is good, therefore, to be in upper rooms, good to be on housetops and to be somewhere above. And the wonderful apostles, as it is written of them in the Acts, when they were together and devoted themselves to prayers and to the word of God, were in an upper room. And since they were in an upper room, they were not below. For this reason "there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed." But also Peter, when he sent up his prayer to God, "went up to the housetop"; and if he had not gone up to the housetop, he would not have seen "a vessel like a great sheet descending from heaven, let down by four corners from heaven." But also she who performed acts of charity, "Tabitha, which is interpreted Dorcas," was not below, but "in the upper room," where Peter went up and raised her from the dead. But also Jesus, being about to celebrate this feast of which we make the symbol, the Passover, with the
