Now is this world to be judged; now the Prince of this world will be expelled.

I will no longer talk much with you, for the Prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me;

of judgment, because the Prince of this world has been judged.

Sage, scribe, critic of this world, where are they all? Has not God stultified the wisdom of the world?

in which you moved as you followed the course of this world, under the sway of the prince of the air ??the spirit which is at present active within those sons of disobedience
