Why then do you now say: "Let us pursue him, and let us find a basis to speak against him?"
But ye should say, Why persecute we him, Seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
If you say, How we will pursue him! [and continue to persecute me with the claim] that the root [cause] of all these [afflictions] is found in me,
If ye say, How we will persecute him! And that the root of the matter is found in me;
You say, “How will we pursue him so that the root of the matter can be found in him?”
Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, and let us find occasion of word against him?
