When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
1 Peter 2:23
Meek is not mild, and gentleness is not weakness. The ‘he’ of 1 Peter 2:23 was Jesus, the Son of God.

If you insult a tyrant the tyrant is likely to have you shot. If you insult a bully the bully is likely to break your nose.
If you insult the Son of God he is likely to turn the other cheek.
Jesus had the power of God in the palm of his hand. He could have ended them, instead he willing died for them.
Gentleness takes strength of character.
