Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. Persecuted the poor and needy man - In the case of Jesus Christ all the dictates of justice and mercy were destroyed, and they persecuted this poor man unto death. They acted from a diabolical malice. On common principles, their opposition to Christ cannot be accounted for.
