who_o christ_n be_v first_o send_v and_o preach_v according_a to_o this_o construction_n the_o sense_n of_o this_o scripture_n will_v be_v best_a explain_v by_o parallel_v it_o with_o those_o two_o text_n in_o the_o gospel_n the_o one_o concern_v cataphas_n of_o who_o the_o evangelist_n say_v he_o prophesy_v that_o jesus_n shall_v die_v for_o that_o nation_n 11.51.52_o and_o not_o for_o that_o
