community WAS that Of d prophet Il
great and wonderful man Of divine
power; some said Jeremiah, some said
Isaiah, but the common expression Of
t opinion was that he was d prophet. The
testimony of his enemies as IL ms char
acter is equally explicit. PLATE, the cor
rupt Roman politician who condemned
him 10 death, sad of MIN, Il find 10
fault in this righteous man" The eE-
ecutiOner charged with carrying out
the sentence OF the court. who stood on
Calvary and watched him die, SAID IF
him. Truly, TINS vas d righteous man
The testimony Of MS friends certainly
give him the best character. John de-
clared, Behold the Lamb of God that
taketh away the rin 0t the world
Peter said of him, Thou art the Christ
the Son OF the living God. Judas, who
betrayed him for silver, We soe rush
into the temple and cast !pwr the silver

no other key that unlocks the mystery
