"They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
They gaped upon me with their mouths,.... Either by way of derision and contempt, Job 16:10 ; or belching out blasphemy against him, or rather, with the greatest vehemency, crying
out "Crucify him, crucify him", Luk 23:21 ; and this they did as a ravening and roaring lion, when it has got its prey and rejoices, Amo 3:4 ; and being in such hands, and encompassed about with such enemies, as Christ was in the garden, in the high priest's hall, and in Pilate's judgment hall, is a third reason or argument used by him with God his Father, to be near to him and not far from him.
