Theophylact of Ohrid, on Heb 12:3

“For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself; that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds.”

“If anyone thinks about the sufferings of fellow servants like himself and receives sufficient consolation, how much more will reflection on the sufferings of the Master, who endured such "abuse," that is, mockery, reproaches, blows to the face — things that contradicted His teaching — the cries before Pilate, and finally, the cross. It is expressively said: "such," that is, enduring unto death, and moreover — with robbers, and moreover from sinners, evidently pagans, or even the Jews themselves. Reflection on Christ will elevate your souls and restore your nerves, and will not allow you to grow weak and fall into despair under oppressions.”
