“… ‘You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and … make their authority … felt. … [I]t shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant …. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give His Life as a ransom for many.”
“‘The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;
and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him …. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.'”
“… ‘Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes … but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God. These you should have done, without overlooking the others. … You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces. … You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk. … ‘Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.'”
“The Lord said … ‘Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish,
inside you are filled with plunder and evil. You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside?
But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.'”
“Jesus said … ‘… At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here.'”
“Jesus answered … ‘You know the Commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.’ … ‘You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ … ‘It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ …”
“… ‘Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house. * * * … [I]f it is by the finger of God that I drive out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you. * * * … Whoever is not with Me is against Me, and whoever does not gather with Me scatters. …”
“‘… ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. … If you … who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?'”
