صحبتشان در مجلس این خواهد بود که مسیح خود را برای رفع گناهان قربان نمود اما معانی آن را نفهمیده اند

Question:
[In the evening some clergymen announced a meeting to observe the crucifixion of Christ.]
Translation:
Provisional translation
Their speeches in the meeting will be to the effect that Christ sacrificed Himself in order to redeem us from our sins. But they do not understand the inner meaning... The redemption of sins depends on our acting upon the admonitions of Christ, and the martyrdom of Christ was to cause us to attain praiseworthy morals and supreme stations.
