Well might we say that the Savior and those that come in his name have received like treatment in all ages, One paragraph from the experiences of the Prophet Joseph Smith will illustrate the point:
“The constable who served this second warrant upon me had no sooner arrested me than he began to abuse and insult me; and so unfeeling was he with me, that although I had been kept all the day in court without anything to eat since the morning, yet he hurried me off to Broome county, a distance of about fifteen miles, before he allowed me any kind of food whatever. He took me to a tavern, and gathered in a number of men, who used every means to abuse, ridicule and insult me. They spit upon me, pointed their fingers at me, saying, ’Prophesy, prophesy!’ and thus did they imitate those who crucified the Savior of mankind, not knowing what they did.” (HC 1:91.)
