ACC ~ Mark 10 v33

UNDER WHAT AUTHORITY HE DIED

AUGUSTINE: In so speaking the Lord foreshadowed those by whose hand he would die. He does not mean here the death upon the cross as such, but that the Jews would deliver him up to the Gentiles, or, in other words, to the Romans. For Pilate was a Roman, and had been sent by the Romans into Judea as governor. TRACTATE ON JOHN 94.5. [1]
