have spoken of Jesus Christ.--So far is this from telling against
Christianity that, on the contrary, it tells for it. For it is certain that
Jesus Christ has existed; that His religion has made a great talk; and that
these persons were not ignorant of it. Thus it is plain that they purposely
concealed it, or that, if they did speak of it, their account has been
suppressed or changed.

788. "I have reserved me seven thousand." I love the worshippers unknown to
the world and to the very prophets.

789. As Jesus Christ remained unknown among men, so His truth remains among
common opinions without external difference. Thus the Eucharist among
ordinary bread.

790. Jesus would not be slain without the forms of justice; for it is far
more ignominious to die by justice than by an unjust sedition.

791. The false justice of Pilate only serves to make Jesus Christ suffer;
for he causes Him to be scourged by his false justice, and afterwards puts
Him to death. It would have been better to have put Him to death at once.
Thus it is with the falsely just. They do good and evil works to please the
world, and to show that they are not altogether of Jesus Christ; for they
are ashamed of Him. And at last, under great temptation and on great
occasions, they kill Him.

792. What man ever had more renown? The whole Jewish people foretell Him
before His coming. The Gentile people worship Him after His coming. The two
peoples, Gentile and Jewish, regard Him as their centre.

And yet what man enjoys this renown less? Of thirty-three years, He lives
thirty without appearing. For three years He passes as an impostor; the
priests and the chief people reject Him; His friends and His nearest
relatives despise Him. Finally, He dies, betrayed by one of His own
disciples, denied by another, and abandoned by all.

What part,
