> Once Christ has cried out "Eli Eli [etc]," and Caiphas has interpreted his
> words as a prayer for the assistance of Elijah, Pilate says: "If he do
> soo,/He schall haue woo". Anna follows with: "He wer our foo,/If he dresse
> hym to do vs that dede." And then the boy adds: "That dede for to dresse
> yf he doo,/In sertis he schall rewe it full sore."
> Who is "he" in this dialogue? Are Pilate and the others castigating
> Christ for his presumption in (as they suppose) calling upon Elijah, or are
> they asserting their readiness to defy Elijah if he does indeed come to
> assist Jesus? Or could Pilate be referring to Christ (sadly deluded in his
> hopes), while the others refer to Elijah?
