Hence these words in St. Mark's Gospel are an indication that in men living in those days an inkling was beginning to dawn that something entirely *new* was speaking to them; that through this man who came among them something revealed itself which was like a power of nature herself, like one of the supersensible Powers behind the phenomena of nature. Men began gradually to divine what it was that had entered into Jesus of Nazareth and was symbolised in the Baptism by John. The people in the synagogue were very near the truth when they said: When he speaks it is as though the Exousiai were speaking, not merely the Archai, the Time-Spirits, or the Folk-Spirits.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.
