Behold the birds of the air, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much greater value than they?

Truly do I say to you, Among those born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist. But he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.

Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.

Fools and blind I for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

Blind men! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar flint sanctifieth the gift?
