29. That it was before predicted,
concerning the hatred of the Name,
In the Gospel according to Luke: “And
ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.”4369
Also
according to John: “If the world hate you, know ye that it
first hated me. If ye were of the world, the world would love
what would be its own: but because ye are not of the world, and I
have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Remember the word which I said unto you, The servant is not greater
than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also
persecute you.”4370
Also in Baruch:4371
| 4371
The whole of this quotation, as it is called, from Baruch, is wanting
in all codices but two. It is remarkable, as finding no place in
any text of Scripture, nor in any translation, whether Greek or
Latin. |
“For the time shall come, and ye shall seek me, both ye and those
who shall be after you, to hear the word of wisdom and of
understanding; and ye shall not find me. But the nations shall
desire to see the wise
man, and it shall not happen to them; not because the wisdom of this
world shall be wanting, or shall fail to the earth; but neither shall
the word of the law be wanting to the world. For wisdom shall be
in a few who watch, and are silent and quiet, and who hold converse
with one another; because some shall dread them, and shall fear them as
evil. But some do not believe the word of the law of the
Highest. But some who are amazed in their countenance will not
believe; and they also who contradict will believe, and will be
contrary to and hindering the spirit of truth. Moreover, others
will be wise to the spirit of error, and declaring the edicts, as if of
the Highest and the Strong One. Moreover, others are
possessors of faith.4372

Personales fidei. This, like many other expressions in this
strange passage, gives no clue to a meaning. | Others are mighty and strong in
the faith of the Highest, and hateful to the
stranger.”E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
