Yea, even the very God of Israel
do men trample under their feet;
I say, trample under their feet
but I would speak in other words—
they set him at naught,
and hearken not
to the voice of his counsels.
And behold he cometh,
according to the words of the angel,
in six hundred years from the time
my father left Jerusalem.
And the world,
because of their iniquity,
shall judge him to be a thing of naught;
wherefore they scourge him,
and he suffereth it;
and they smite him,
and he suffereth it.
Yea, they spit upon him,
and he suffereth it,
because of his loving kindness
and his long-suffering
towards the children of men.
And the God of our fathers,
who were led out of Egypt, out of bondage,
and also were preserved
in the wilderness by him,
yea, the God of Abraham,
and of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
yieldeth himself,
according to the words of the angel,
as a man, into the hands of wicked men,
to be lifted up and to be crucified,
and to be buried in a sepulchre.
(1 Nephi 19:7-10)
