this just person
Matthew 27:24
27:24 this just person. It is noteworthy that Judas, who betrayed Jesus, admitted he had betrayed “innocent blood” (Matthew 27:4); Pilate, who condemned Him to die, admitted he was condemning “this just person” (Matthew 27:24); and the centurion, who carried out the execution, admitted that Jesus was “the Son of God” (Matthew 27:54). Christ was, indeed, the spotless “Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).
