13. Like hungry cannibals they opened their blasphemous mouths as if they
were about to swallow the man whom they abhorred. They could not vomit forth
their anger fast enough, and therefore set the doors of their lips wide open
like those who gape. Our Lord’s faith must have passed through a most severe
conflict while he found himself abandoned to the tender mercies of the wicked,
but he came off victorious by prayer, the very dangers to which he was exposed
being used to add prevalence to his entreaties.
