Even th•se which pierced him. Here is added a further evidence of Christs manifestation of his coming, and that for three causes. First, to show that no power, or wisdom in the world, can free any one from his appearance. For if any could escape, in all likelihood it would be those Jews and Gentiles who prevailed most against Christ, and put him to death.
