Trial of Christ
171

trial.
Satan’s rage was great as he saw that all the cruelty which he
had led the Jews to inflict on Jesus had not called forth from Him
the slightest murmur. Although He had taken upon Himself man’s
nature, He was sustained by a Godlike fortitude, and departed not in
the least from the will of His Father.
