What the Fathers say

Matthew 27:23

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

"The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done?" Here he appeals to his innocence, intending to free him, as if employing what is said at Jeremiah 2:5: "what iniquity have your fathers found in me?" And John 8:46: "which of you shall convince me of sin?" "But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified." Hence they could not be swayed, according to Jeremiah 8:5: "they have laid hold on lying, and have refused to return." Hence they were obstinate in malice.
