9Jesus said to them, "It is not possible […], nor [can] a fountain quench the fire of the entire inhabited world. Nor can a [city’s] well satisfy all the generations, except the great, stable one. A single lamp will not illuminate all the realms, except the second generation, nor can a baker feed all creation under [heaven]."
