-7“But the tempest will not last forever, the darkness will not hide the light forever, the heavens will soon become serene, the heavenly brightness will soon spread over the whole earth and the wandering flocks will gather themselves around their shepherd.”
- 8"Do not try to scck for the direct roads in darkness for fear of falling in a ditch, but gather together wur lost forces, aid each other, place all your confidence in your God and wait till the first light appears."
"He who aids his ncighbor aids himself and whoever protects his own family protects his pcoplc and his country."
-10"For be sure that the day is near when you will be delivered from darkness; you shall gather yourselves together in onc fainily and your enemy who ignores the favor of the great God shall tremble in fear."
The priests and the elders who listened to him, full of wonder.at his words, asked him if it was true that he had tried to arouse the people against the authorities of the country as had been reported to Governor Pilate.
-12-- "Can one risc against misled men to whom darkness has hidden the way and the door?" answered Issa. "I have only warned the unfortunate as I do here in this temple so that they may not advance further on dark roads, for an abyss is open at their feet."
-- 13"Earthly power is not of long duration and it is subject to many changes. It would be of 110 use for a man to revolt against it, for one power always succeeds
