He shall drink of the torrent in the way

Psalm 109 - Verse 7

De torrente in via bibet. J-J tissot

[7] de torrente in via bibet; propterea exaltabit caput.
He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

From The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by J-J Tissot (1897)

Acording to an ancient tradition, which reappears in the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich, Jesus, as He was passing over the Kedron bridge, on the south side of the valley, received a treacherous push by order of the Pharisees, and was flung into the torrent.  The words: de torrente in via bibet were thus literally fulfilled.  It is somewhat difficult to understand what object the Jews can have had in inflicting this cruel indignity on the Lord but.  But they meant to bring about the death of Jesus, no matter at what cost, and, as the bridge they were crossing had no parapet, it seemed a good opportunity to get rid of Him without any noise or fuss.  Had they succeeded they would have avoided a double danger.  To begin with, they would have averted a popular tumult, the fear of which had so much troubled the Sanhedrim at their last meeting.  And then, would it not be more prudent to finish the matter off whilst the Jews had Jesus in their own power?  Once let Him come into the hands of Pilate and who could say what would happen?  Perhaps the false charges brought against the prisoner would seem of no account to the indifferent Roman procurator.  Suppose he should set at liberty the Man Who was so fatally undermining their influence?  At this thought they became capable of anything, and there would be nothing surprising if they had bribed one of the guards who would, of course, have had no scruples in obeying, to put their captive quietly out of the way, in such a manner that no suspicion of murder should fall upon the instigators of the crime.  However that may be, the brutal action, if it were committed, must have made a vivid impression upon the mind of the traitor who was still present, already tortured as he was by remorse. We may well believe that the sad and dignified bearing of the Master as He called him "Friend" when He received the kiss, succeeded by the miracle of the healing of the ear of Malchus and the supernatural falling back of the guards, must have given Judas plenty of food for reflection.  Now that the ferocity of the enemies of Jesus is freely manifested and he can foresee all the consequences of his treachery, he cannot fail to be seized with terrified foreboding and to look back with horror upon the atrocious action of which he has himself been guilty.
