This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

When he was reviled (loidoroumenos). Present passive participle of loidoreō, old verb (from loidoros, reviler, 1Co 5:11) as in Joh 9:28.

Reviled not again (ouk anteloidorei). Imperfect active (for repeated incidents) of antiloidoreō, late and rare compound (Plutarch, Lucian, one papyrus example with compound following the simplex verb as here, Moulton and Milligan’s Vocabulary), here only in N.T. Idiomatic use of anti (in turn, return, back).

Threatened not (ouk ēpeilei). Imperfect again (repeated acts) of apeileō, old compound (from apeilē, threat, Act 9:1), in N.T. only here and Act 4:17.

But committed himself (paredidou de). Imperfect active again (kept on committing himself) of paradidōmi, to hand over, usually of one to a judge, but here not of another (as the Sanhedrin), but himself (supply heauton), for Jesus uses this very idea in Luk 23:46 as he dies. Jesus thus handed himself and his cause over to the Father who judges righteously (tōi krinonti dikaiōs, dative of present active articular participle of krinō).
