And the people answered to him, We have heard of the law, that Christ dwelleth [into] without end; and how sayest thou, It behooveth man’s Son to be areared? Who is this man’s Son? (And the people said to him, We have heard in the Law, that the Messiah remaineth forever; so how sayest thou, It behooveth the Son of man to be raised up? Who is this Son of man?)
