In everything, and by everything, he was taught that he was still a Jew, a brother to his sinful brothers; that their sorrows were his sorrows, their shame his shame, their ruin his ruin. In all their afflictions he was afflicted, even as his Lord was after him. He struggled, we find, again and again against this strange and sad calling of a prophet.

In the center of the mob a lone man struggled desperately to shake off the many hands that grasped him. "Hang him!" came a voice from the crowd. Other voices took up the cry immediately. "Hang him!
