and a borrowed tomb sheltered His crucified body, for 1 le said, “Foxes
have holes and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man

enlv Father for “His unspeakable gift.” For even the Son of man
came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life
a ransom for many.”— (Mark 10:45).
