Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
Doth our law judge any man before it hear him - rather, 'except it first hear from him' х ean (G1437) mee (G3361) akousee (G191) par' (G3844) autou (G846) proteron (G4386)],
And know what he doeth? - a very proper but all too tame rejoinder, and evidently more from pressure of conscience than any design to pronounce positively in the case. The feebleness of his defense of Jesus, as Webster and Wilkinson well remark, presents a strong contrast to the fierceness of the rejoinders of the Pharisees.
