Chapter 6 — Part I — Article IV (Of the Crucifixion, Death and Burial)
Section 199. Q. How came it to pass that Jesus Christ was crucified, when his doctrine and works should have moved all to reverence him? A. The elders of the Jews and the scribes hated him, because he rebuked their false doctrine and evil lives, and envied him, because the people, which heard him teach and saw his miracles, esteemed him more than them; and hence they falsely accused him, and condemned him to death.
