QUOTES FOR DISCUSSION
What a bitter irony this was! He to whom all judgment has been committed (John 5:28)…would be judged and condemned by a wicked people.
Joseph Fielding McConkie and Robert L. Millet, Doctrinal Commentary, 1:83

Joseph Fielding McConkie and Robert L. Millet, Doctrinal Commentary volume 1, wrote this:
What a bitter irony this was! He to whom all judgment has been committed (John 5:28), the "keeper of the gate" (2 Nephi 9:41), would be judged and condemned by a wicked people devoid of the spirit of wise judgment. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that our Lord "descended in suffering below that which man can suffer; or, in other words, suffered greater suffering, and was exposed to more powerful contradictions than any man can be" (Lectures on Faith 5:2). What greater contradiction could there be than for the sinless Son of Man, he who came to save the world from judgment, to be judged guilty by man's meager and myopic standards?
