Han skal komme igjen med herlighet og dømme levende og døde,
og på hans rike skal det ikke være ende.
Han ble korsfestet for oss,

Matthew 21:33-41
33 “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. 34 When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit. 35 And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again he...
