185:6.1 In all that is transpiring early this Friday [[morning]] before [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate], only the [[enemies]] of [[Jesus]] are [[participating]].

In [[the multitude]] which now clamors for [[the Master]]'s [[death]] are to be found only his sworn [[enemies]] and the easily led and unthinking [[Mob|populace]].
