Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

And the servant said, Lord, your orders have been done, and still there is room.

Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.

And God--will not he see that his own People, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them--though he holds his hand?

He will, I tell you, have justice done them, and that soon! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"
