بخش 21 - بیان دوازده سبط از نصاری

The people of Jesus had twelve amírs as rulers in authority over them.

Each party followed one amír and had become devoted to its own amír from desire (of worldly gain).

These twelve amírs and their followers became the slaves of that vizier of evil sign.

They all put trust in his words, they all took his procedure as a pattern.

Each amír would have given up his life in his presence at the time and hour (on the spot), if he (the vizier) had bidden him die.
