“I … am already being poured out like a libation,
and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have competed well; I have finished the race;
I have kept the faith.
From now on the Crown of Rrighteousness awaits me,
which the Lord, the Just Judge,
will award to me on that day, and not only to me,
but to all who have longed for His Appearance. …”
“Jesus said to the Twelve:
‘Fear no one.
Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed ….
what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.
And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;
* * *
Even all the hairs of your head are counted. …
* * *
Everyone who acknowledges Me before others
I will acknowledge before My Heavenly Father. …”
“… ‘Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Take My Yoke upon you and learn from Me,
for I am Meek and Humble of Heart;
and you will find Rest for yourselves.
For My Yoke is Easy, and My Burden Light.”
“Jesus said to His Disciples:
‘… When someone strikes you on your right cheek,
turn the other one to him as well.
If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic,
hand him your cloak as well. …'”
“Jesus said …
‘I AM the Living Bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this Bread will live forever;
and the Bread that I will give
is My Flesh for the life of the world.’
* * *
‘Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood,
you do not have Life within you.
Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood
has Eternal Life,
and I will Raise him on the Last Day.
For My Flesh is True Food,
and My Blood is True Drink. …'”
“#Jesus said to His #Disciples:
‘… You are the Light of the World.
A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket …
* * *
… your Light must shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds
and glorify your Heavenly Father.'”
“… ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of Me.
Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward will be great in heaven.
Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.'”
“… #God so loved the world that He gave His only Son,
so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish
but might have Eternal life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be Saved through Him. …”
“… He said to them,
‘Whose image and inscription is this?’
They replied to him, ‘Caesar’s.’
So Jesus said to them,
‘Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
and to God what belongs to God.'”
“Jesus began to speak to the chief priests, the scribes,
and the elders in parables.
‘A man planted a vineyard ….
Then he leased it to tenant farmers and left on a journey. …
* * *
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
by the Lord has this been done,
and it is wonderful in our eyes?’
They were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the crowd,
for they realized that he had addressed the parable to them. …”
