I found this an interesting point, Steven, and I'm going to chew it over.
Just a question in regard to it: if the swords were part of the Lord's being
numbered with the transgressors, is there any significance in this not being
raised in the accusations made against him? I would have thought that the
being numbered with the transgressors relates to his death between two
thieves.
