8.4 This office the Lord Jesus did most willingly undertake;[y] which that He might discharge, He was made under the law,[z] and did perfectly fulfil it;[a] endured most grievous torments immediately in His soul,[b] and most painful sufferings in His body;[c] was crucified, and died,[d] was buried, and remained under the power of death, yet saw no corruption.[e] On the third day He arose from the dead,[f] with the same body in which He suffered,[g] with which also he ascended into heaven, and there sits at the right hand of His Father,[h] making intercession,[i] and shall return, to judge men and angels, at the end of the world.[k]
