Mat. 26:65. "Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard His blasphemy." Contrary to that law, Leviticus 21:10. This probably foreboded that the Levitical priesthood was soon to be abolished, their priestly garment to be rent, and they to be divested of the honors and prerogatives of their office.
Mat. 27:14
