At that time Yahshua answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Sovereign of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail unremoved in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in the Messiah.
In whom the mighty one of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the magnificent good news of the Messiah, who is the image of Elohim, should shine unto them.
For our good news came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
