"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, inquiring what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor yet for your body, inquiring what you shall wear. Is not your life more than its food, and your body than its clothing?

"Behold! the birds in the sky! They neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them; and are not you worth more than they?

"Do not give what is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine; lest in turn they trample them under their feet, and then turn and attack you.

"Enter by the narrow gate; for broad is the gate and wide the road that leads to destruction, and many are they who go in by it;

"Nor do they put new wine into old wine-skins; if they did, the wine-skins would split, the wine would run out, and the skins be ruined. Instead, they put new wine into fresh wine-skins and both are preserved."

"A pupil is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his masters.

"So do not fear them; for there is nothing concealed which shall not be revealed, nor anything secret which shall not become known.

"For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, 'He has a demon';

"Everything has been handed over to me by my Father; neither does any one know the Son, except the Father, nor any one know the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

"How he went into the House of God, and there they ate the loaves of the Presence, which neither he nor his men were permitted to eat, but the priests only?

He will not strive nor cry aloud, Nor shall anyone hear is voice in the streets.

"You generation of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. "When the time of fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the vine-dressers seized to get his fruit.

"This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
