Jesus

And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

And he sent messengers before his face: and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.

And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.

And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?

And turning, he rebuked them, saying: you know not of what spirit you are.

The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.

And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go and to bury my father.

And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.

Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.

And after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.

And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest.

Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.

I say to you, it shall be more tolerable at that day for Sodom than for that city.

He that heareth you heareth me: and he that despiseth you despiseth me: and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name.

And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven.

Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you.

In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight.

All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father: and who the Father is, but the Son and to whom the Son will reveal him.

And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see.

For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.
