(5) And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
(5) It appears by conferring the prophecies of the prophets that all those things are true and certain which the evangelist have put down in writing about Christ.

And how the chief priests and our rulers,.... Civil and ecclesiastic:
delivered him; to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor:
to be condemned to death; the death of the cross, by the said governor, having first seized him and examined him before their sanhedrim, and pronounced him guilty of death:
and have crucified him; for though Pilate passed the sentence, and the Roman soldiers executed it, yet these men are said to do it, because it was at their request, and through their instigation, that it was done; hence Peter charges the Jewish sanhedrim with it, Acts 4:10.
