desired to see those things which ye see,
and have not seen them; and to hear
those things which ye hear, and have not
heard them.
Mat 13:35 That it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
I will open my mouth in parables; I will
utter things which have been kept secret
from the foundation of the world.
Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in
them ye think ye have eternal life: and
they are they which testify of me.

the mystery of godliness: God was manifest

of the princes of this world knew: for
had they known it, they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory.
