Behold the Man!

By FRANK LESLIE BENNETT

FRANK LESLIE BENNETT

One has his evil passions traced; The other's visage is passion free: Barabbas, low-browed, evil-faced; Christ's face is purity.

Before, the crowd as lions roar, Yet there he stands, his piercing eyes Serenely blue as summer skies; Above, the Roman eagles soar.

Though heathen, hated in the land, In sad and solemn strife for right Let Pilate preach one sermon grand, His eyes lit up with sudden light.

His subject stands; all see his face, Behold his mien, his features scan; Then Pilate cries to all the race: “Behold the man! Behold the man!”
