his sweat like blood
pouring from his face
praying in the garden
our cup to his lips
sweat of blood
foreshadowing his torture
the crown of thorns, the
whip
his bloody body for us

Mark
7:20-23 (The Message)
‘He (Christ) went on: "It's what comes out
of a person that pollutes:

greed, depravity,
deceptive dealings, carousing, mean looks,
slander, arrogance,
foolishness—all these are vomit from the heart.
There is the source of your pollution."’
