And behold he cometh, according to the words of the angel, in six hundred years from the time my father left Jerusalem. 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.
