|''{{:Until after the cross...'' The riddles concerning Christ were hidden until after the cross. :While Jesus ministered, he showed his disciples the riddles, but they did not understand them. <ref>[[Mt 16:21]] ¶ From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.</ref> <ref>[[Mr 8:17]] And when Jesus knew [it], he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?</ref> until after the cross, but the Spirit of God opens our eyes to them. <ref>[[Mt 16:17]] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.</ref>}}
