Tertullian, on 1Pet 2:4

“Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God:”

“And we saw Him, and He had not attractiveness or grace; but His mien was unhonoured, deficient in comparison of the sons of men," "a man set in the plague, and knowing how to bear infirmity: "to wit as having been set by the Father "for a stone of offence," and "made a little lower" by Him "than angels," He pronounces Himself "a worm, and not a man, an ignominy of man, and the refuse of the People.”
