One prisoner, named Barabbas, was kept chained up in prison along with men who had committed murder during a rebellion.

"How doth this fellow so blaspheme? Who can forgive sins, but God only?"

"The second is this: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as thou lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment greater than these there is none."
