members of the
Sanhedrin, these
distinguished
men hardened
their hearts to
the truth and
became emotionally
unhinged and their
extreme hatred
of the truth
of the gospel
caused them
to fulfill Christ’s
own words,
‘the time is coming
that whoever
kills you will
think that he
offers God service.
These things
they will do
to you because
they have not
known the
Father nor Me.’
(Ref. to Acts of the
Apostels 7: 57 of he
New Testament)
