And they began to know
that the Son of God must shortly appear;
yea, in fine, all the people
upon the face of the whole earth
from the west to the east,
both in the land north and in the land south,
were so exceedingly astonished
that they fell to the earth.
For they knew that the prophets
had testified of these things for many years,
and that the sign which had been given
was already at hand.
