“Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His Disciples …
‘… do not be called “Rabbi.”
You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers.
Call no one on earth your father;
you have but one Father in heaven.
Do not be called “Master”;
you have but one master, the Christ.
The greatest among you must be your servant.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled;
but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”‘”

“‘… For this is the will of My Father,
that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him
may have Eternal Life,
and I shall raise Him on the last day.'”

“… ‘You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first Commandment.
The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole Law and the Prophets depend on these two Commandments.”

“Jesus said to His Disciples:
‘I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!
There is a baptism with which I must be baptized,
and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division. …'”

“… You also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.
* * *
Much will be required of the person entrusted with much,
and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.'”

“Jesus said to His Disciples:
* * *
Blessed are those servants
whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. …'”
