The Gospel records demonstrate how his fellow men recognized the perfection oozing from his character, shown in his words and actions. Pilate's wife recognized that he was a "just man" (Matt. 27:19), undeserving of punishment; the Roman soldier who watched Christ's demeanour whilst hanging on the cross had to comment, "Certainly this was a righteous man" (Luke 23:47).
Taarifa za Injili zinaonyesha kwa maneno jinsi gani watu, ndugu zake walivyotambua ukamilifu uliotirika kutoka kwenye tabia yake, ulijionyesha katika maneno yake na matendo . Mke wa Pilato alitambua ya kwamba alikuwa ni " mtu mwenye haki" (Math 27:19) asiyesitahili kuadhibiwa: askari wa Kirumu aliyetazama mwenendo wa Kristo wakati ametundikwa juu ya msalaba ilibidi atoe maelezo, "Hakika yake, mtu huyu alikuwa mwenye haki" (Luka 23:37).
