On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Thus the enemies of Christ's gospel are resolved, true or false, to run it down. (3.) It is a testimony to the innocency of our Lord Jesus, from the mouth of one of his worst enemies, who owned that he fell a sacrifice to the public good, and that it was not just he should die, but expedient only. The concurrence of Annas in the prosecution of Christ.
