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.
