And Jesus looked upon the multitudes who pressed about for selfish gain.

2 The men of learning and of wealth, of reputation and of power, were there; but they knew not the Christ.

3 Their eyes were blinded by the tinseled glitter of their selfish selves; they could not see the king.

4 And though they walked within the light, they groped about in dark—a darkness like the night of death.

5 And Jesus cast his eyes to heaven and said,

6 I thank thee, Holy One of heaven and earth, that while the light is hidden from the wise and great, it is revealed to babes.

7 Then turning to the multitudes he said, I come to you not in the name of man, nor in a strength my own;

8 The wisdom and the virtue that I bring to you are from above; they are the wisdom and the virtue of the God whom we adore.

9 The words I speak are not my words; I give to you what I receive.

10 Come unto me all you who labor and pull heavy loads and I will give you aid.
