It was not till the third day that they found him in the Temple Courts, sitting among the Teachers, now listening to them, now asking them questions.

This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: "Rabbi, we know that you are a Teacher come from God; for no one could give such signs as you are giving, unless God were with him."

I do not want many of you, my Brothers, to become teachers, knowing, as you do, that we who teach shall be judged by a more severe standard than others.

And a Teacher of the Law came up to him, and said: "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

But do not allow yourselves to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Father, the heavenly Father.

Nor must you allow yourselves to be called 'Leaders,' for you have only one Leader, the Christ.

And Judas, who was betraying him, turned to him and said: "Can it be I, Rabbi?" "It is," answered Jesus.

So he went up to Jesus at once, and exclaimed: "Welcome, Rabbi!" and kissed him;

Jesus was in the stern asleep upon the cushion; and the disciples roused him and cried: "Teacher! is it nothing to you that we are lost?"

"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."

Then Peter recollected what had occurred. "Look, Rabbi," he exclaimed, "the fig-tree which you doomed is withered up!"

As soon as Judas came, he went up to Jesus at once, and said: "Rabbi!" and kissed him.

Even tax-gatherers came to be baptized, and said to John: "Teacher, what are we to do?"

"We have been hard at work all night, Sir," answered Simon, "and have not caught anything, but, at your bidding, I will throw out the nets."

So the disciples came and roused him. "Sir, Sir," they cried, "we are lost!" Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.

"Who was it that touched me?" Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed: "Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing upon you!"

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;

Thereupon John said: "Sir, we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow you with us."

Standing still, some distance off, they called out loudly: "Jesus! Sir! pity us!"

But Jesus turned round, and saw them following. "What are you looking for?" he asked. "Rabbi," they answered (or, as we should say, "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"

Meanwhile the disciples kept saying to him: "Take something to eat, Rabbi."

"Rabbi," asked his disciples, "who was it that sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

"Rabbi," they replied, "the Jews were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?"

The Roman Officer, however, was more influenced by the captain and the owner than by what was said by Paul.

And masters, treat your slaves in the same spirit. Give up threatening them; for you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in Heaven, and that before him there is no distinction of rank.

Masters, do what is right and fair by your slaves, for you know that you also have a Master--in Heaven.

All who are in the position of slaves should regard their masters as deserving of the greatest respect, so that the Name of God, and our Teaching, may not be maligned. Those who have Christian masters should not think less of them because they are their Brothers, but on the contrary they should serve them all the better, because those who are to benefit by their good work are dear to them as their fellow Christians. Those are the things to insist upon in your teaching.

Urge slaves to be submissive to their owners in all circumstances, and to try their best to please them.

I do not want many of you, my Brothers, to become teachers, knowing, as you do, that we who teach shall be judged by a more severe standard than others.
