SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #424

Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people, into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas: And they consulted together that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus and put him to death. But they said: "Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people." (Matt. 26:3-5)

SINS AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST: The Pharisees and those under their influence envied Jesus on account of the wonderful works which He did, and resisted the known truth that Jesus was the Messiah; and thus deliberately persevered in impenitence.


[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
