He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory. |

| And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. | Then God said, “Look!

For only when you come to judge the earth will people learn what is right. |
