Wisdom 2:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ Let’s see if his words are true. Let’s put him to the extreme test and see what happens. ¹⁸ If this man who does the right thing is indeed God’s son, then God will assist him. God will rescue him from the hand of those who oppress him. ¹⁹ Let’s test him by assaulting and torturing him. Then we will know just how good he really is. Let’s test his ability to endure pain.
