and, seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And then were the days of unleavened bread.

And Pilate gave judgment that their request should be executed;

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I seeking to please men? If still I were pleasing men, I should not be Christ's servant.
