¹⁸巡抚原 知道 他们是因为 嫉妒 才把他 解了来 。

¹⁸For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

¹⁸ Verse 18. For envy] διαφθονον, through malice. Then it was

his business, as an upright judge, to have dispersed this mob, and

immediately released Jesus.



Seeing malice is capable of putting even Christ himself to

death, how careful should we be not to let the least spark of it

harbour in our breast. Let it be remembered that malice as often

originates from envy as it does from anger.
