7, 9. Satan Assailed Christ, Provoked No Retaliation—Satan assailed Him [Christ] in every point, yet He sinned not in thought, word, or deed. He did no violence, neither was guile found in His mouth. Walking in the midst of sin, He was holy, harmless, undefiled. He was wrongfully accused, yet He opened not His mouth to justify Himself. How many now, when accused of that of which they are not guilty, feel that there is a time when forbearance ceases to be a virtue, and losing their temper, speak words which grieve the Holy Spirit (Manuscript 42, 1901)?{4BC 1148.1}11. See EGW comment on Zechariah 9:16.{4BC 1148.2}

7, 9. Satan angreb Kristus, kom der ingen gengæld. - Satan angreb ham [Kristus] på alle punkter, alligevel syndede Han ikke i tanke, ord eller handling. Han begik ikke vold der fandtes heller ikke svig i Hans mund. Medens han gik midt i synd, var Han hellig, lydefri og ubesmittet. Han blev anklaget fejlagtigt, alligevel åbnede Han ikke Sin mund for at retfærdiggøre Sig selv. Hvor mange af dem der nu anklages for det som de ikke er skyldige i, føler at der er et tidspunkt hvor overbærenheden ophører at være en dyd, og mister deres temperament, siger ord som sårer Helligånden (MS 42, 1901)?
