97. Of the kingdom of God, and the coming of

he answered them and said, “The kingdom of

And he said unto the disciples, “The days will 22

shall desire to see one of the
days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see
“ it. And they shall say to you, See here; or, 23
“ see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
“ For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of 24

them, “ Many good works have I shewed you

“ from my Father; for which of those works 33“ do ye stone me?" The Jews answered him,

saying, For a good work we stone thee not;

but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being 34 a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered

them, “Is it not written in your law, I said, “Ps. 82. 6. 35“ Ye are gods? If he called them gods, “unto Rom. 13.
