True, he had Informed the twelve Apostles respecting the consummation of his work and Its nearness, but they had been slow to believe all the things written in the 1 Law and the prophecies concerning him. Their minds naturally grasped the* glorious things spoken of the MesW. 6lah They were So busy thinking of 4 his glorious Kingdom, and of their glo f rious association wltb him in that Kingdom, that 'hoy failed to note the other prophecies who h. with equal dis* tinetness, foretold his sufferings and Ignominy. Similarly, they overlooked the Master's own words concerning bis death. They thought of him as speaking in some figurative. hy|**it>olic mauner. And Peter even attempted to rebuke him, saying, "lie this far from thee. Lord; it shall uot happen unto thee."
