His loving kindness

And behold he cometh,
according to the words of the angel.

And the world,
because of their iniquity,
shall judge him to be a thing of naught.

Wherefore they scourge him,
and he suffereth it;
and they smite him,
and he suffereth it;
yea, they spit upon him,
and he suffereth it,
because of his loving kindness
and his long-suffering
towards the children of men.

And the God of our fathers
yieldeth himself,
according to the words of the angel,
as a man,
into the hands of wicked men,
to be lifted up,
and to be crucified,
and to be buried in a sepulchre.

Yea, and all the earth shall see
the salvation of the Lord,
and every nation, kindred, tongue and people
shall be blessed.
