Christ mourned for the transgression of every human being. He bore even the guiltiness of Caiaphas, knowing the hypocrisy that dwelt in his soul, while for pretense he rent his robe. Christ did not rend His robe, but His soul was rent. His garment of human flesh was rent as He hung on the cross, the sin-bearer of the race. By His suffering and death a new and living way was opened (The Review and Herald, June 12, 1900).{5BC 1105.2}

Kristus sørgede over ethvert menneskes overtrædelse. Han bar også Kaifas skyldighed, bevidst om det hykleri der boede i hans sjæl, medens han sønderrev sin klædning som påskud. Kristus sønderrev ikke Sin klædning, men Hans sjæl var sønderrevet. Hans klædning for menneskelig kød blev sønderrevet idet Han hang på korset, slægtens syndbærer. Ved Hans lidelse og død blev en ny og levende vej åbnet (RH 12. juni, 1900).
