7. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by oar law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God —Their criminal charges having come to nothing, they give up that point, and as Pilate was throwing the whole responsibility upon them, they retreat into their own Jewish law, by which, as claiming equality with God (see John 5:18 ; John 8:59 ), He ought to die; insinuating that it was Pilate's duty, even as civil governor, to protect their law from such insult. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-8" class="com-number"
