    1The disciples said to Jesus, “Tell us how our end will be.” He said, “Have you found the beginning, then, that you are seeking the end? For in the place where the beginning is, there the end will be. Blessed is the one who will stand in the beginning; he will know the end, and he will not taste death.”
