Chapter
XVII.—The Way to the Kingdom Not Concealed from the
Israelites.
“But if one shall say nothing was concealed
from the sons of Israel, because it is written,1392 ‘Nothing escaped thy notice, O
Israel (for do not say, O Jacob, The way is hid from me),’ he
ought to understand that the things that belong to the kingdom had been
hid from them, but that the way that leads to the kingdom, that is, the
mode of life, had not been hid from them. Wherefore it is that He
says, ‘For say not that the way has been hid from
me.’ But by the way is meant the mode of life; for Moses
says,1393 ‘Behold, I have set before thy
face the way of life and the way of death.’ And the Teacher
spoke in harmony with this:1394
‘Enter ye through the strait and narrow way, through which ye
shall enter into life.’ And somewhere else, when one asked
Him,1395 ‘What shall I do to inherit eternal
life?’ He pointed out to him the commandments of the
law.
