When all return except the man whom you seek, all the people will be at peace.”

So now you are caught in your own evil, because you are a bloodthirsty man!”

Psalms 64:2-5
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows— bitter words,That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.They encourage themselves in an evil matter; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say,“ Who will see them?”

Luke 20:19-22
And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they feared the people— for they knew He had spoken this parable against them.So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.Then they asked Him, saying,“ Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth:Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.They only consult to cast him down from his high position; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, But they curse inwardly. Selah
