237 And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge Him to be a thing of naught; Wherefore, they scourge Him, and He suffereth it; And they smite Him, and He suffereth it;
238 Yea, they spit upon Him, and He suffereth it - Because of His loving-kindness and His long-suffering toward the children of men.
239 And the God of our fathers, which were led out of Egypt out of bondage, and also were preserved in the wilderness by Him,
240 Yea, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and the God of Jacob yieldeth Himself, according to the words of the angel, as a man into the hands of wicked men, To be lifted up, according to the words of Zenoch,
241 And to be crucified, according to the words of Neum,
242 And to be buried in a sepulcher, according to the words of Zenos which he spake concerning the three days of darkness,
243 Which should be a sign given of His death unto them who should inhabit the isles of the sea,
244 More especially given unto them which are of the house of Israel.
245 For thus spake the prophet: "The Lord God surely shall visit all the house of Israel at that day -
246 Some with His voice, because of their righteousness, unto their great joy and salvation,
247 And others with the thunderings and the lightnings of His power - by tempest, by fire, and by smoke and vapor of darkness, and by the opening of the earth, and by mountains which shall be carried up.
