Eliyahu came near to all the people, and said, *How long will you waver between the two sides? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Ba`al, then follow him.* The people answered him not a word.
They cried out, *Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!* Pilate said to them, *Shall I crucify your King?* The chief Kohanim answered, *We have no king but Caesar!*
If it seem evil to you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amori, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
