And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, lest perhaps he was the Christ,

and in their hands they shall bear You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone."

For I say to you, Among those who are born of woman there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

Those by the roadside are the ones who hear; then the Devil comes and takes the Word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

And He said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in My name receives Me. And whoever shall receive Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all, he shall be great.

And he goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and entering in, they dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first.

If then you are not able to do even the least, why are you anxious about the rest?

For as you go with your adversary to the judge, give pains in the way to be set free from him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into the prison.

I tell you, you shall not depart from there until you have paid the very last lepton.

And behold, there are last ones which will be first, and there are first ones which will be last.

When you are invited by anyone to a wedding, do not recline in the chief seat, lest a more honorable man than you may be invited by him.

And he who invited you and him shall come and say to you, Give place to this man; and then you begin with shame to take the last place.

But when you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher. Then glory shall be to you before those reclining with you.

What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost until he finds it?

And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.

And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.

for this my son was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

He who is faithful in the least is also faithful in much. And he who is unjust in the least is also unjust in much.

for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

And he said to him, Well done, good servant, because you have been faithful in a least thing, have authority over ten cities.
