And whan he was come intil the Temple, the Heid‐Priests and the Elders oʼ the people cam till him as he was teachin, and quoʼ they, “By whatna authoritie div ye do thir things? And wha gied ye this authoritie?”
And, Jesus said to the Heigh‐priests and Captains oʼ the Temple, and the Elders, wha had come on him, “Cam ye oot as again a reiver, wiʼ swords and rungs?
“ ‘To unsteek their een, that they may turn them aboot frae the mirk intil the licht, and frae Sautanʼs rule to God; that they may hae their sins forgiʼen, and hae their lot amang them wha are sanctifyʼt by faith in me.’
For oor struggle isna again flesh and blude, but again the pooers, again the authorities, again the warld‐rulers oʼ this mirkness; again the spiritual hosts oʼ ill iʼ the lift.
