"hold, the kingdom of God is within you." And he said unto the disciples, "The days will 22 66 come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see "it. And they shall say to you, See here; or, 23 see there: go not after them, nor follow them. "For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of 24 "the one part under heaven, shineth unto the "other part under heaven; so shall also the "Son of man be in his day. But first must he 25 "suffer many things, and be rejected of this "generation. And as it was in the days of 26 Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son "of man.

And Jesus 41 answered and said unto her, "Martha, Martha, "thou art careful and troubled about many Ps. 27.4.
