-Wherefore think ye evil things
in your hearts?

For whether is

easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? But, that ye may know that the SON OF MAN hath power on earth to Forgive Sins. . Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

THEY that are strong need not a physician, but they that are sick.— But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice for I came not to call righteous ones, but sinners.

CAN the attendants of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then will they fast.

skins burst, and the wine runneth
out, and the skins perish but they
put new wine into new skins, and
both are preserved.

Go not into any way of Gentiles, and into any city of Samaritans enter ye not: but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, nor scrip for your journey, 10.

Luke ix. 1, &c. ; shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into the house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. AMEN, I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But keep yourselves apart; for men will deliver you up to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; and ye shall be brought before governors and

A disciple is not above the master, nor a servant above the lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of His

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

AND FEAR not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear HIM which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your FATHER. But of you, the very hairs of the head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Whosoever therefore shall confess ME before men, him will I confess also before My FATHER which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny ME before him will I also deny before My FATHER which is in heaven.
