"Are you asleep when He speaks of eternal life ?" "But He says Himself that they will slay Him." "That they wish to slay Him He means.

A change had come over Jesus since the events on the high mountain.

It was as if He had now become quite clear about His divine call, as if He had only now fully realised that He was God's messenger, the Son of the Heavenly Father, summoned from eternity to go down to earth to awake men and save them for a life of bliss with God.
