Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - This man is worthy to die; literally, a sentence of death (belongs) to this man.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) This man is worthy to die.--Literally, A judgment of death for this man. The phrase seems to have been in current forensic use. (See Deuteronomy 19:6; Deuteronomy 21:22.) Among the accusers we may think of Pashur, the son of Immer (Jeremiah 20:1). Personal rancour mingles with the class feeling which animates the whole body of the priesthood. They appeal to what, in later language, would be known as the secular arm, to be the instrument of their vindictiveness against the heretic and blasphemer.
