And see how he would put up the judge to a desire of punishing, seeing he had here an opportunity to coerce the man that turned the world upside down! As if they had achieved a meritorious action, they make much of it: Having found this fellow, a mover of sedition, say they, among all the Jews throughout the world.

They thought this likely to tell as a reproach - of the Nazarenes: and by this also they seek to damage him - for Nazareth was a mean place. And, we have found him, say they: see how maliciously they calumniate him: found him, as if he had been always giving them the slip, and with difficulty they had succeeded in getting him: though he had been seven days in the Temple!<br/><i>— Homily on Acts 50</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"4d24af4ad5540ab9561e04af8c9cf2445001895078ed4359d76b748fe1e93ed7","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":2961,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"241d0671c578edee1e63bca19868d4c7e051efcb49c70c26e56678f0765df430","translator":null,"work":null}
