36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:



Ver. 36. Of cruel mockings] As Jeremiah, Amos, Elisha, "Go up, bald head, go up," so. "To heaven, as they say" (but who will believe it?) "that your master Elijah did." So they mewed at David, mocked at Isaiah, Isa_28:10; (the sound of the words, as they are in the original, carries a taunt), jeered our Saviour, Luk_16:14. See these Hebrews upon the stage, as mocking stocks, Heb_10:33.
