When the harvest season came he sent a servant to the tenants, in order to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

Again he sent them another servant, and they [threw stones and] wounded him in the head, and treated him disgracefully.

But one of the bystanders [Simon Peter] drew his sword and struck [Malchus] the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

And straightaway his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.

Therefore, those whom God so joins together [in the marriage bond], no person must ever separate."

For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.
