2. For beginning from those passions, which most belong to our whole race, anger, I mean, and desire (for it is these chiefly that bear absolute sway within us, and are more natural than the rest); He with great authority, even such as became a legislator, both corrected them, and reduced them to order with all strictness.

2. Do you see how He prophesies even the place where He was to be slain. And they cast Him out, and slew Him. And Luke indeed says, that He declared what these men should suffer; and they said, God forbid; and He added the testimony [of Scripture].
