“If He had been Antichrist, Creeping Jesus,
He’d have done anything to please us”

— William Blake

The Everlasting Gospel (c. 1818)
Context: If He had been Antichrist, Creeping Jesus,
He’d have done anything to please us;
Gone sneaking into synagogues,
And not us’d the Elders and Priests like dogs;
But humble as a lamb or ass
Obey’d Himself to Caiaphas.
