“ Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder,“ Crucify him!”

“ Why? What wrong has he done?” asked Pilate. But they shouted even louder,“ Crucify him!”

And he said,“ Why? what evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more,“ Let him be crucified!”

Then he said,“ Why? What has he done wrong?” But they kept shouting all the more,“ Crucify him!”

But he said,“ Why, what evil has He done?” Yet they kept shouting all the more, saying,“ Crucify Him!”

Then the governor said,“ Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, saying,“ Let Him be crucified!”

And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.

But some of the Jews were jealous, so they gathered some troublemakers from the marketplace to form a mob and start a riot. They attacked the home of Jason, searching for Paul and Silas so they could drag them out to the crowd.Not finding them there, they dragged out Jason and some of the other believers instead and took them before the city council.“ Paul and Silas have caused trouble all over the world,” they shouted,“ and now they are here disturbing our city, too.And Jason has welcomed them into his home. They are all guilty of treason against Caesar, for they profess allegiance to another king, named Jesus.”

As long as that son of Jesse is alive, you’ll never be king. Now go and get him so I can kill him!”“ But why should he be put to death?” Jonathan asked his father.“ What has he done?”Then Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan, intending to kill him. So at last Jonathan realized that his father was really determined to kill David.

I’ll ask my father to go out there with me, and I’ll talk to him about you. Then I’ll tell you everything I can find out.”The next morning Jonathan spoke with his father about David, saying many good things about him.“ The king must not sin against his servant David,” Jonathan said.“ He’s never done anything to harm you. He has always helped you in any way he could.Have you forgotten about the time he risked his life to kill the Philistine giant and how the Lord brought a great victory to all Israel as a result? You were certainly happy about it then. Why should you murder an innocent man like David? There is no reason for it at all!”So Saul listened to Jonathan and vowed,“ As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be killed.”Afterward Jonathan called David and told him what had happened. Then he brought David to Saul, and David served in the court as before.War broke out again after that, and David led his troops against the Philistines. He attacked them with such fury that they all ran away.But one day when Saul was sitting at home, with spear in hand, the tormenting spirit from the Lord suddenly came upon him again. As David played his harp,Saul hurled his spear at David. But David dodged out of the way, and leaving the spear stuck in the wall, he fled and escaped into the night.Then Saul sent troops to watch David’s house. They were told to kill David when he came out the next morning. But Michal, David’s wife, warned him,“ If you don’t escape tonight, you will be dead by morning.”So she helped him climb out through a window, and he fled and escaped.Then she took an idol and put it in his bed, covered it with blankets, and put a cushion of goat’s hair at its head.When the troops came to arrest David, she told them he was sick and couldn’t get out of bed.But Saul sent the troops back to get David. He ordered,“ Bring him to me in his bed so I can kill him!”

When Joseph’s brothers saw him coming, they recognized him in the distance. As he approached, they made plans to kill him.“ Here comes the dreamer!” they said.

“ But sir,” Ahimelech replied,“ is anyone among all your servants as faithful as David, your son in law? Why, he is the captain of your bodyguard and a highly honored member of your household!This was certainly not the first time I had consulted God for him! May the king not accuse me and my family in this matter, for I knew nothing at all of any plot against you.”“ You will surely die, Ahimelech, along with your entire family!” the king shouted.And he ordered his bodyguards,“ Kill these priests of the Lord, for they are allies and conspirators with David! They knew he was running away from me, but they didn’t tell me!” But Saul’s men refused to kill the Lord’s priests.Then the king said to Doeg,“ You do it.” So Doeg the Edomite turned on them and killed them that day, eighty five priests in all, still wearing their priestly garments.Then he went to Nob, the town of the priests, and killed the priests’ families— men and women, children and babies— and all the cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats.

As the conflict grew more violent, the commander was afraid they would tear Paul apart. So he ordered his soldiers to go and rescue him by force and take him back to the fortress.

The next morning a group of Jews got together and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.There were more than forty of them in the conspiracy.They went to the leading priests and elders and told them,“ We have bound ourselves with an oath to eat nothing until we have killed Paul.So you and the high council should ask the commander to bring Paul back to the council again. Pretend you want to examine his case more fully. We will kill him on the way.”

“ But when the tenant farmers saw his son coming, they said to one another,‘ Here comes the heir to this estate. Come on, let’s kill him and get the estate for ourselves!’So they grabbed him, dragged him out of the vineyard, and murdered him.

yelling,“ Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who preaches against our people everywhere and tells everybody to disobey the Jewish laws. He speaks against the Temple— and even defiles this holy place by bringing in Gentiles.”( For earlier that day they had seen him in the city with Trophimus, a Gentile from Ephesus, and they assumed Paul had taken him into the Temple.)The whole city was rocked by these accusations, and a great riot followed. Paul was grabbed and dragged out of the Temple, and immediately the gates were closed behind him.As they were trying to kill him, word reached the commander of the Roman regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

The crowd listened until Paul said that word. Then they all began to shout,“ Away with such a fellow! He isn’t fit to live!”They yelled, threw off their coats, and tossed handfuls of dust into the air.

Then they put their hands over their ears and began shouting. They rushed at him
