And thou, my child, shalt be called the prophet of the most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord,

This is he of whom it is written, "Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:"

And it came to pass, as the days were almost fulfilled of his being received up again into heaven, that He set his face to go to Jerusalem,

But they would not entertain Him, because his face was towards Jerusalem.

Ye hypocrites, ye know how to discern the face of the earth and of the heavens, and why do ye not discern the present time?

for as a snare shall it come upon all that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

and when they had blind-folded Him, they struck Him on the face, and asked Him, saying, Prophesy who it was that smote thee.
