See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty^(B) of wrongdoing^(C) or rebellion. I have not wronged^(D) you, but you are hunting^(E) me down to take my life.^(F)

²⁵ But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law:^(A) ‘They hated me without reason.’^[a](B)

²¹ Don’t give in to them, because more than forty^(A) of them are waiting in ambush for him. They have taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him.^(B) They are ready now, waiting for your consent to their request.”
