'When Pilate displayed Christ to the people with the words 'Here is the man!' (John 19:4 - 'Behold the man' in the AV), he did not appreciate how profoundly true his words were: there indeed, before them, was the full, perfect, axiomatic, emblematic human being, the one who teaches us what it means to be human.'
Andrew Davison, Blessing, p.50.
