Seite 145 - Yes ! if the life and death of Socrates were those of a sage, the life and death of Jesus were those of a God.
Seite 111 - If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there : and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians ; if they save us alive, we shall live, and if they kill us, we shall but die.
