They had no fear of God, and so they attacked you from the rear when you were tired and exhausted, and killed all who were straggling behind.

The king of Syria had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders to attack no one else except the king of Israel.

The LORD Almighty says, "Wake up, sword, and attack the shepherd who works for me! Kill him, and the sheep will be scattered. I will attack my people

But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the owner's son. Come on, let's kill him, and we will get his property!'

Then Jesus said to them, "This very night all of you will run away and leave me, for the scripture says, 'God will kill the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

Don't you realize that it is better for you to have one man die for the people, instead of having the whole nation destroyed?"

Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward and asked them, "Who is it you are looking for?"

When Jesus said to them, "I am he," they moved back and fell to the ground.

"I have already told you that I am he," Jesus said. "If, then, you are looking for me, let these others go."
