778. Omnis Judaea regio, et Jerosolmymi universi, et baptizabantur.173
Because of all the conditions of men who came there.
From these stones there can come children unto Abraham.
779. If men knew themselves, God would heal and pardon them. Ne convertantur
et sanem eos, et dimittantur eis peccata.174
780. Jesus Christ never condemned without hearing. To Judas: Amice, ad guid
venisti?[175] To him that had not on the wedding garment, the same.
781. The types of the completeness of the Redemption, as that the sun gives

782. The victory over death. "What is a man advantaged if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul? Whosoever will save his soul, shall lose it."
"I am not come to destroy the law, but to fulfil."
"Lambs took not away the sins of the world, but I am the lamb which taketh
