Book of Common Prayer
So Run Your Race With Endurance, Looking To Jesus
12 So-therefore we also[a], having so large a cloud of witnesses[b] surrounding us, having laid-aside every weight[c] and the easily-entangling[d] sin, let us be running the race being set-before us with endurance 2 while looking-away toward the author and perfecter[e] of the faith[f]— Jesus— Who endured a cross for[g] the joy being set-before Him, having disregarded[h] the shame[i], and has sat-down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Consider His Endurance
3 For consider[j] the One having endured such opposition[k] by sinners against Himself, in order that you may not be weary in your souls, losing-heart— 4 you did not yet resist to the point of blood while struggling against sin!

For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. 40 Then some from the crowd, having heard these words, were saying “This One is truly the Prophet[b]”. 41 Others were saying “This One is the Christ”. But the[c] ones were saying “The Christ is not indeed[d] coming from Galilee, is He? 42 Did not the Scripture say that the Christ comes from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” 43 So a division took place in the crowd because of Him. 44 And some of them were wanting to seize Him, but no one put his hands on Him.
Most of The Jewish Rulers And Pharisees Did Not Believe In Him
45 Then the officers went to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those ones said to them, “For what reason did you not bring Him?” 46 The officers answered, “Never did a man speak in this manner”.
