⁵ and they said, `Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.'

²⁴ And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye -- ye shall see;'

²⁸ to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass.

²⁸ They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

⁷ And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed,

⁶ and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.'

²⁷ and Jesus saith to them -- `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad,

¹² And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, `Where wilt thou, `that,' having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?'

² and they said, `Not in the feast, lest there shall be a tumult of the people.'

²⁶ and if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.'

⁵ and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.

³⁷ Who `is' this -- he hath said, and it is, `And' the Lord hath not commanded `it'?

¹⁰ Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, `My counsel doth stand, And all My delight I do.'

³⁰ There is no wisdom, nor understanding, Nor counsel, over-against Jehovah.

²¹ Many `are' the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.

¹⁰ For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
