That is why I say to you, Do not be anxious about your life here--what you can get to eat or drink; nor yet about your body-- what you can get to wear. Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?

Suddenly they shrieked out: "What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before our time?"

And now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, they are saying 'Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and outcasts!' And yet Wisdom is vindicated by her actions."

Here, however, I tell you, there is something greater than the Temple!

At the Judgment, the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah's proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!

At the Judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the present generation, and will condemn it, because she came from the very ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!

Then, stretching out his hands towards his disciples, he said: "Here are my mother and my brothers!

Prompted by her mother, the girl said 'Give me here, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.'

"We have nothing here," they said, "except five loaves and two fishes."

"Bring them here to me," was his reply.

Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.

I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death till they have seen the Son of Man coming into his Kingdom."

"Master," exclaimed Peter, interposing, "it is good to be here; if you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

"O faithless and perverse generation!" Jesus exclaimed, "how long must I be among you? how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy here to me."

When he went out about five, he found some other men standing there, and said to them 'Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?'

"Go to the village facing you," he said, "and you will immediately find an ass tethered, with a foal by her side; untie her, and lead her here for me.

But the tenants, on seeing his son, said to each other 'Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.'

So he said to him 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding-robe?' The man was speechless.

"Do you see all these things?" was his answer. "I tell you, not a single stone will be left here upon another, which will not be throne down,"

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; take care not to be alarmed, for such things must occur; but the end is not yet here.

And, at that time, if any one should say to you 'Look! here is the Christ!' or 'Here he is!', do not believe it;

And, in my fear, I went and hid your money in the ground; look, here is what belongs to you!'

"You know that in two days time the Festival of the Passover will be here; and that the Son of Man is to be given up to be crucified."

Then Jesus came with them to a garden called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples: "Sit down here while I go and pray yonder."

"I am sad at heart," he said, "sad even to death; wait here and watch with me."

He is not here; for he has risen, as he said he would. Come, and see the place where he was lying;

But that you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earth"--here he said to the paralyzed man--

Then he looked around on the people sitting in a circle round him, and said: "Here are my mother and my brothers!

Is not he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And are not his sisters, too, living here among us?" This proved a hindrance to their believing in him;

Here the Pharisees came out, and began to argue with Jesus, asking him for some sign from the heavens, to test him.

"I tell you," he added, "that some of those who are standing here will not know death till they have seen the Kingdom of God come in power."

"Rabbi," said Peter, interposing, "it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

And, if any one says to you 'Why are you doing that?', say 'The Master wants it, and will be sure to send it back here at once.'"

But those tenants said to one another 'Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and his inheritance will be ours.'

"Do you see these great buildings?" asked Jesus. "Not a single stone will be left here upon another, which shall not be thrown down."

And at that time if any one should say to you 'Look, here is the Christ!' 'Look, there he is!', do not believe it;

Presently they came to a garden known as Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples "Sit down here while I pray."

"I am sad at heart," he said, "sad even to death; wait here, and watch."

"Do not be dismayed; you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified; he has risen, he is not here! Look! Here is the place where they laid him.

The Devil next led him into Jerusalem, and, placing him on the parapet of the Temple, said: "If you are God's Son throw yourself down from here,

"Doubtless," said Jesus, "you will remind me of the saying-- 'Doctor, cure yourself;' and you will say 'Do here in your own country all that we have heard that has been done at Capernaum.'

And now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying 'Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax- gatherers and outcasts.'

The day was drawing to a close, when the twelve came up to him, and said: "Send the crowd away, so that they may make their way to the villages and farms round about, and find themselves lodgings and provisions, for we are in a lonely spot here."

And, as Moses and Elijah were passing away from Jesus, Peter exclaimed: "Sir, it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what he was saying;

"O faithless and perverse generation!" Jesus exclaimed; "how long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here."

At the Judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the very ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!

At the Judgment the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah's proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!

Here one of the Students of the Law interrupted him by saying: "Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also."

And Jesus said to his disciples: "That is why I say to you, Do not be anxious about the life here--what you can get to eat; nor yet about your body--what you can get to wear.

Do you think that I am here to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but to cause division.

On his return the servant told his master all these answers. Then in anger the owner of the house said to his servant 'Go out at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.'

And say 'Here is a man who began to build and was not able to finish!'

But, when he came to himself, he said 'How many of my father's hired servants have more bread than they can eat, while here am I starving to death!

For here is my son who was dead, and is alive again, was lost, and is found.' So they began making merry.

We could but make merry and rejoice, for here is your brother who was dead, and is alive; who was lost, and is found.'"

'Four hundred and forty gallons of oil,' answered the man. 'Here is your agreement,' he said; 'sit down at once and make it two hundred and twenty.'

And you, the steward said to the next, 'how much do you owe?' 'Seventy quarters of wheat,' he replied. 'Here is your agreement,' the steward said; 'make it fifty-six.'

'Child,' answered Abraham, 'remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.

And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.'

Nor will people say 'Look, here it is!' or 'There it is!'; for the Kingdom of God is within you!

People will say to you 'There he is! or 'Here he is!' Do not go and follow them.

Another servant also came and said 'Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.

But as for my enemies, these men who would not have me as their King, bring them here and put them to death in my presence.'"

"Go to the village facing us," he said, " and, when you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has yet ridden; untie it and lead it here.

But, on seeing him, the tenants consulted with one another. 'Here is the heir!' they said. 'Let us kill him, and then the inheritance will become ours.'

For every one else here put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, has put in all she had to live upon."

"As for these things that you are looking at, a time is coming when not one stone will be left upon another here, which will not be thrown down."

"Master," they exclaimed, "look, here are two swords!" "Enough!" said Jesus.

But they insisted: "He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here."

[He is not here; but he has risen.] Remember how he spoke to you before he left Galilee--

While they were still unable to believe it all for very joy, and were wondering if it were true, Jesus said to them: "Have you anything here to eat?"

The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him, and exclaimed: "Here is the Lamb of God, who is to take away the sin of the world!

When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said: "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!"

"Give me this water, Sir," said the woman, "so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water."

But a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father spiritually and truly; for such are the worshipers that the Father desires.

For here the proverb holds good--'One sows, another reaps.'

In truth I tell you that a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the Dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and when those who listen will live.

"There is a boy here," said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter's brother,

And, when they found him on the other side of the Sea, they said: "When did you get here, Rabbi?"

"My time," answered Jesus, "is not come yet, but your time is always here.

Yet here he is, speaking out boldly, and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that our leading men have really discovered that he is the Christ?

"If God were your Father," Jesus replied, "you would have loved me, for I came out from God, and now am here; and I have not come of myself, but he sent me as his Messenger.

"Master," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

After saying this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered: "The Teacher is here, and is asking for you."

When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she threw herself at his feet. "Master," she exclaimed, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died!"

And said: "Men of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up into the heavens? This very Jesus, who has been taken from you into the heavens, will come in the very way in which you have seen him go into the heavens."

Brothers, I can speak to you the more confidently about the Patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.

Since we are on our trial to-day for a kind act done to a helpless man, and are asked in what way the man here before you has been cured,

Let me tell you all and all the people of Israel, that it is by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead--it is, I say, by his Name that this man stands here before you lame no longer.

This Tabernacle, which was handed down to them, was brought into this country by our ancestors who accompanied Joshua (at the conquest of the nations that God drove out before their advance), and remained here until the time of David.

Presently, as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the Treasurer exclaimed: "Look! here is water; what is to prevent my being baptized?"

And, here, too, he holds authority from the Chief Priests to put in chains all those who invoke your Name."

So Ananias went, entered the house, and, placing his hands on Saul, said: "Saul, my Brother, I have been sent by the Lord--by Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here--so that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

All who heard him were amazed. "Is not this," they asked, "the man who worked havoc in Jerusalem among those that invoke this Name, and who had also come here for the express purpose of having such persons put in chains and taken before the Chief Priests?"

Therefore send to Jaffa, and invite the Simon, who is also known as Peter, to come here. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea.'

Accordingly I sent to you at once, and you have been so good as to come. And now we are all here in the presence of God, to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say."

So Paul rose and, motioning with his hand, spoke as follows: "Men of Israel and all here who reverence God, hear what I have to say.
