Plain text of 27

Yahya preaches in the nights, Yohana in the evenings of the night. Yahya preaches in the nights and says: "Is there anyone greater than my Lord? They weigh my works, my reward and my crown are reckoned, and my praise of God carries me up in joy ..."

Jaqif left the house of the people, Beni-Amin left the temple, Elizar, the great house, left the dome of the priests. The priests said to Yahya in Jerusalem: "Yahya, go out from our place, Yohana, go out from our city! At your voice the house of the people trembled, at the echo of your sermons the temple trembled, at the echo of your speeches the dome of the priests trembled." Then Yahya answered the priests in Jerusalem: "Bring fire and burn me, bring a sword and cut me to pieces." But the priests answered Yahya in Jerusalem: "Fire will not burn you, Yahya, for the name of God has been pronounced over you. A sword will not cut you to pieces, Yahya, for God's protection rests upon you here."

And God is victorious.
