Chapter XLVIII.—Christ’s work and death foretold.
179
And that it was predicted that our Christ should heal all diseases and raise the dead,
hear what was said. There are these words: “At His coming the lame shall leap as an hart,
and the tongue of the stammerer shall be clear speaking: the blind shall see, and the lepers
shall be cleansed; and the dead shall rise, and walk about.”103 And that He did those things,
you can learn from the Acts of Pontius Pilate. And how it was predicted by the Spirit of
prophecy that He and those who hoped in Him should be slain, hear what was said by Isaiah.
These are the words: “Behold now the righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart;
and just men are taken away, and no man considereth. From the presence of wickedness is
the righteous man taken, and his burial shall be in peace: he is taken from our midst.”104
