CCEL Footnote 1153 (In-Text, Margin)

... Father, instead of His persecutors who were of the foolish People. Mordecai trod upon the neck of Haman, his persecutor; and as for Jesus, His enemies shall be put under His feet. Before Mordecai, Haman proclaimed, Thus shall it be done to the man, in honouring whom the king is pleased; and as for Jesus, His preachers came out of the People that persecuted Him, and they said:— This is Jesus the San of God.   The blood of Mordecai was required at the hand of Haman and his sons;[Esther 9:10] and the blood of Jesus, His persecutors took upon themselves and upon their children.
