But you gave Jesus to be killed. Pilate decided to let Jesus go free. But you told Pilate you did not want Jesus.
The Spirit {\cf2\super [5]} of Christ was in those prophets. And the Spirit was telling about the sufferings that would happen to Christ and about the glory that would come after those sufferings. Those prophets tried to learn about what the Spirit was showing them. They tried to learn when those things would happen and what the world would be like at that time.
