John XIX. 1)

My kingdom is not of banishment, that is, my kingdom is not a worldly kingdom. Why? Because in the worldly kingdom, the more part of the devil's kingdom is held. As Ps. 2, 1. says: Why do the heathen rage and the nations judge 2) useless things? The kings 2c. But my kingdom is entirely according to God against the devil.

John X. 3)

I am the life and resurrection. Whoever believes in me shall live, even if he dies.
