have the light that darkness overtake you not: and he
that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye
have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light."
These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.
THE JEWS REJECT JESUS.
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on
him: that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he
spake,
"Lord, who hath believed our report?
And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
