but others reject what you have done,
and some are perplexed by them,
and some are even terrified.
The crowds thought they knew
what Jesus should do--they would
have forced him, but were not able to.
Jesus taught how we should live, and his
commandments are not burdensome
to those who have faith, and who
lean on him to help them--
that, too, is marvelous.

the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose."
