But when the eye is blinded by the love of self, there is only darkness. "If thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness." It was this fearful darkness that wrapped the Jews in stubborn 92 unbelief, making it impossible for them to appreciate the character and mission of Him who came to save them from their sins.

Men når øjet formørkes af egenkærlighed, er der kun mørke. Men hvis dit øje er sygt, bliver hele dit legeme i mørke. Det var dette forfærdelige mørke, der indhyllede jøderne i hårdnakket vantro og gjorde det umuligt for dem at vurdere hans karakter og mission, der kom for at frelse dem fra deres synder.
