[Spok]

That’s a good point. It was Jesus’ choice to endure the passion.

[lightman]

Every member of Your holy body endured dishonor for us.
Your head endured the thorns.
Your face was spat on.
Your cheeks received the blows.
Your mouth tasted vinegar mingled with gall.
Your ears heard impious blasphemies.
Your back received the scourging.
Your hand held the reed.
Your entire body was stretched on the Cross.
Your joints were pierced by the nails, and Your side, by the spear.

O almighty Savior,
who endured Your Passion for us and freed us from the passions,
who in Your love for humanity condescended to us and then exalted us,
have mercy on us.

--Orthodox Christian hymn from the Praises,
Holy Thursday service of the Twelve Passion Gospels.
