:

,

take

this

child

and

teach

And

brother

,

and

I

You

say

what

you

know

;

were

born

;

and

I

know

how

they

were

struck

with

astonishment

And

Jesus

said

to

:

You

wonder

because

I

said

to

you

that

years

Assuredly

I

know

when

the

world

was

created

.

Behold

,

you

do

not

believe

me

now

.

When

you

see

my

cross

,

then

will

ye

believe

that

I

speak

the

truth

.

And

they

were

struck

with

astonishment

when

they

heard

these

things
