Yet I was like a trusting lamb led to slaughter, not knowing that they were hatching plots against me: “Let us destroy the tree in its vigor; let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
Yes, I hear the whisperings of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce! let us denounce him!” All those who were my friends are on the watch for any misstep of mine. “Perhaps he can be tricked; then we will prevail, and take our revenge on him.”
You summoned as to a feast day terrors on every side; On the day of the Lord’s wrath, none survived or escaped. Those I have borne and nurtured, my enemy has utterly destroyed.”
But they were adamant and said, “He is inciting the people with his teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where he began even to here.” Jesus Before Herod.
