His visage was so marred

In Isaiah, chapter fifty-two, verse fourteen, “As many were astonied at thee; His visage was so marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men.” This verse describes Jesus’ mistreatment by the Jews and the Roman soldiers at His trial and crucifixion. Psalm twenty-two, verses six through eight, is under the Cry of Anguish section. This chapter is one of the most quoted in the New Testament, known as “the psalm of the cross” because it so precisely portrays Christ’s anguished suffering on the cross. The focused verses here are an expression of an experience far beyond that of any ordinary human experience.
“But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.” “Christ may be said to have been a worm, but with respect to the mean and poor condition in which he lived, but especially to that kind of death which he suffered; for he was stripped of his clothes, and fixed upon the cross, naked as a worm of the earth.” 
After being arrested at night and abandoned by His disciples, Jesus was brought before Caiaphas and the Jewish council. He was blindfolded, mocked repeatedly, spat on, and struck in the face. Believers, servants, or followers of Jesus Christ, as saints of God who love the Lord, will undergo a percentage of what the Son of God bore for our sins. However, some of us will retaliate and carry on in response to what may not make sense to us. However, look how Jesus responded to it.
