6 For they have shed the blood of the Saints and the Prophets, and so you have given them blood to drink. For they deserve this.”	6 they spilt the blood of the saints and the prophets, and blood is what you have given them to drink; it iswhat they deserve.'

15 “Behold, I arrive like a thief. Blessed is he who is vigilant and who preserves his vestment, lest he walk naked and they see his disgrace.”	15 Look, I shall come like a thief.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.	20 Every island vanished and the mountains disappeared;
