But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear;
and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place."
"But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Ye do the deeds of your father."
"For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak."
"LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.”
"Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them,
Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him."
“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”

And lie divided, before the world.

Thorns.
Those sons of that father.
Their resistance.
Their envy.
Their evil deed done.
This spilling of blood.
God's Kingdom to come.
His giving of Son.
His victory, he's won.
