First sentence: AFTER THE HEAVENLY MIRACLE  of the Virgin birth shone throughout the whole world, the joyful festivities marking the Lord's birth were completed, and the venerable feast of Epiphany also has been celebrated, the Lord foretells the sequence of the events surrounding his Passion to his disciples when he speaks as follows: Behold, we are now going up to Jerusalem, he says, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests, and they will condemn him to death, and they will hand him over to the gentiles, and they will mock him and spit at him, and after three days he will rise (Mt 20.18-19).
