Mark 12:7

This is the heir "he for whom the inheritance is meant, and to whom it will in due course rightfully arrive not as in earthly relations, by the death, but by the free appointment, of the actual possessor." Christ is "heir of all things," not as He is the Son of God, but as He is the Son of Man.

come, let us kill him Comp. Genesis 37:20; and especially John 11:47-53, where "the servants" conspiring against "the Heir of all things" actually assign as their motive that "if they let Him alone," they "will lose both their place and nation."
