45 Again I say, Walk in the light while you still have the light, that men may know that you are sons of light. 46 And Jesus stood out in the temple porch, and made his last appeal unto the multitudes; he said, 47 He who believes in me, believes in God who sent me forth to do his will, and he who sees me now beholds my Father-God. 48 Behold, I came a light unto the world; he who believes in me shall walk in light, the light of life. 49 You men who hear me now, If you believe me not, I judge you not. 50 I am not come to judge the world, but I am come to save the world. 51 God is the only judge of men; but what I speak will stand against you in the day when God will judge the world; 52 For from myself I do not speak; I speak the words that God has given me to speak. 53 And then he said, Jerusalem, with all your glory and your crimes, Farewell. CHAPTER 157. _The Christines upon Mount Olives. Jesus prophecies the destruction of Jerusalem, and of terrible disasters that will mark the conclusion of the age. He exhorts his disciples to faithfulness._ Then Jesus with the twelve went forth and sat upon Mount Olives, just beyond the city’s gate. 2 And his disciples said, Behold the wondrous city of Jerusalem! its homes are all so beautiful! its temples and its shrines are clothed in such magnificence! 3 And Jesus said, The city is the glory of my people, Israel, but, lo, the time will come when every stone will be cast down, and it will be a hiss and byword for the nations of the earth. 4 And the disciples asked, When will this desolation come? 5 And Jesus said, This round of human life will not be full until the armies of the conqueror will thunder at her gates, and they will enter in, and blood will flow like water through the streets. 6 And all the precious furnishings of temple, court and palaces will be destroyed, or carried off to deck the palaces and courts of kings. 7 Behold, these days are not at hand. Before they come, lo, you shall be maltreated by the scribes and Pharisees, the high priests and the doctors of the law. 8 Without a cause you will be haled into the courts; you will be stoned; you will be beaten in the synagogues; will stand condemned before the rulers of this world, and governors and kings will sentence you to death. 9 But you will falter not, and you will testify for truth and righteousness. 10 And in these hours be anxious not about your speech; you need not think of what to say; 11 For, lo, the Holy Breath will overshadow you and give you words to say. 12 But then the carnage will go on, and men will think that they are pleasing God by killing you, and nations far and near will hate you for the sake of Christ. 13 And men will stir up evil thoughts among your kin, and they will hate you and will give you up to die.
