1 [Arabic, p. 150] [[Matthew 21.14]] And when Jesus entered the temple, they brought unto him blind and 2 lame: and he healed them. [[Matthew 21.15]] But when the chief priests and the Pharisees saw the wonders that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and 3 saying, Praise be to the Son of David: it distressed them, [[Matthew 21.16]] and they said, Do you not hear what these say? Jesus said to them, Yea: did ye not read long ago, From 4 the mouths of children and infants you have chosen my praise? [[John 12.19]] And the Pharisees said one to another, Behold, do ye not see that nothing avails us? For lo, the whole world has followed him.

5 [[John 12.20]] And there were among them certain Gentiles also, which had come up to worship 6 at the feast: [[John 12.21]] these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, 7 and asked him, and said to him, My lord, we wish to see Jesus. [[John 12.22]] And Philip 8 came and told Andrew: and Andrew and Philip told Jesus. [[John 12.23]] And Jesus answered and said to them, The hour has come near, in which the Son of man is to be glorified. 9 [[John 12.24]] Verily, verily, I say unto you, A grain of wheat, if it fall not and die in the 10 earth, remains alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit. [[John 12.25]] He that loves his life destroys it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto the life eternal. 11 [[John 12.26]] If a man serve me, he will follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be 12 also: and whosoever serves me, the Father will honour him. [[John 12.27]] Now is my soul troubled: [Arabic, p. 151] and what shall I say? My Father, deliver me from this hour. But 13 for this cause came I unto this hour. [[John 12.28]] My Father, glorify your name. And a 14 voice was heard from heaven, I have glorified it, and shall glorify it. [[John 12.29]] And the multitude that were standing heard, and said, This is thunder: and others said, An 15 angel speaks to him. [[John 12.30]] Jesus answered and said to them, Not because of me 16 was this voice, but because of you. [[John 12.31]] Now is the judgement of this world; and the 17 prince of this world shall now be cast forth. [[John 12.32]] And I, when I am lifted up from the 18 earth, shall draw every man unto me. [[John 12.33]] This he said, that he might show by what 19 manner of death he should die. [[John 12.34]] The multitudes said to him, We have heard out of the law that the Messiah abides for ever: how then do you say, that the Son of 20 man is to be lifted up? Who is this, the Son of man? [[John 12.35]] Jesus said to them, Another little while is the light with you. Walk so long as you have light, lest the darkness overtake you; for he that walks in the darkness knows not whither he goes. 21 [[John 12.36]] So long as you have light, believe the light, that you may be the children of the light.

22 [[Luke 17.20]] And when certain of the Pharisees asked of Jesus, when the kingdom of God should come,
