Example VII. Scheibe’s Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu (libretto Ramler). This recitative appears as a musical example in Scheibe’s “Abhandlung über das Recitative I’ (247–60).
| Der König Israel verbirgt sein Angesicht | The King of Israel does not hide his face |
| Vor Schmach und Speichel nicht. | Because of dishonor or spit. |
| Er hält die Wangen ihren Streichen, | He holds his cheeks firm to their blows, |
| Den Rücken ihren Schlägen dar. | And his back to their strikes. |
| Zur Schlachtbank hingeführt, | Led to the place of slaughtering, |
| Thut Er den Mund nicht auf. | He does not open his mouth. |
| Gerechnet unter Missethäter, | Counted among convicts, |
| Fleht Er für sie zu Gott hinauf. | He prays for them to God above. |
