“… His Heart was moved with pity for them
because they were troubled and abandoned,
like sheep without a shepherd.
… He said to His Disciples,
‘The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
so ask the Master of the Harvest
to send out laborers for His Harvest.'”
“While Jesus was speaking, an official came forward,
knelt down before Him, and said,
‘My daughter has just died.
But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.’
Jesus rose and followed him, and so did His Disciples. …
* * * … He came and took her by the hand,
and the little girl arose.
And news of this spread throughout all that land.”
“As Jesus got into a boat, His Disciples followed Him.
Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea,
… They came and woke Him, saying,
‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!’
He said to them, ‘Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?’
Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea,
and there was great calm. …”
“… Jesus came, although the doors were locked,
and stood in their midst and said, ‘Peace be with you.’
… He said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here and see My Hands,
and bring Your Hand and put it into My Side,
and do not be unbelieving, but believe.’
Thomas … said … ‘My Lord and my God!’
Jesus said to him, ‘… Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.'”
“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. …”
“When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child
she gave birth to a son.
Her neighbors and relatives heard
that the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her,
and they rejoiced with her.
When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child,
they were going to call him Zechariah after his father,
but his mother said in reply,
‘No. He will be called John.’ …”
“… ‘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. …'”
