CCEL Footnote 1756 (In-Text, Margin)

... who persuaded the soldiers to lie, and told them, Say that they stole Him away, he says, By regarding lying vanities they forsook their own mercy. For He who had mercy on them came, and was crucified, and rose again, giving His own precious blood both for Jews and Gentiles; yet say they, Say that they stole Him away, having regard to lying vanities. But concerning His Resurrection, Esaias also says, He who brought up from the earth the great Shepherd of the sheep[Isaiah 63:11]; he added the word, great, lest He should be thought on a level with the shepherds who had gone before Him.
