And when some soldiers on active service asked "And we--what are we to do?" he said: "Never use violence, or exact anything by false accusation; and be content with your pay."

On one of those days, when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and Doctors of the Law were sitting near by. (They had come from all the villages in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was upon Jesus, so that he could work cures.)

And there some men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed. They tried to get him in and lay him before Jesus;

"Why are you doing what it is not allowable to do on the Sabbath?" asked some of the Pharisees.

That he went into the House of God, and took the consecrated bread and ate it, and gave some to his companions, though only the priests are allowed to eat it?"

And, hearing about Jesus, he sent some Jewish Councillors to him, with the request that he would come and save his slave's life.

So Jesus went with them. But, when he was no great distance from the house, the Captain sent some friends with the message-- "Do not trouble yourself, Sir; for I am unworthy to receive you under my roof.

So he summoned two of them, and sent them to the Master to ask--"Are you 'The Coming One,' or are we to look for some one else?"

They are like some little children who are sitting in the market-place and calling out to one another--'We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not wept!'

As well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),

"The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden upon; and the wild birds ate it up.

Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.

Before he had finished speaking, some one came from the house of the President of the Synagogue and said: "Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Teacher further."

Prince Herod heard of all that was happening, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John must be risen from the dead.

Some again said that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the old Prophets had risen again.

Indeed, I tell you, some who are standing before me will not know death, till they have seen the Kingdom of God."

But some of them said: "He drives out demons by the help of Baal-zebub, the chief of the demons";

While others, to test him, asked him for some sign from the heavens.

Some of whom they will persecute and kill, in order that the 'blood' of all the prophets 'that has been spilt' since the creation of the world may be exacted from this generation--

Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.

It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen."

"Master," some one asked, "are there but few in the path of Salvation?" And Jesus answered:

there are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!"

Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said: "Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you."

"When you are invited by any one to a wedding banquet, do not seat yourself in the best place, for fear that some one of higher rank should have been invited by your host;

'But, Father Abraham,' he urged, 'if some one from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.'

'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets,' answered Abraham, 'they will not be persuaded, even if some one were to rise from the dead.'"

Standing still, some distance off, they called out loudly: "Jesus! Sir! pity us!"

Some of the people were bringing even their babies to Jesus, for him to touch them; but, when the disciples saw it, they began to find fault with those who had brought them.

Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him: "Teacher, reprove your disciples."

Having watched their opportunity, they afterwards sent some spies, who pretended to be good men, to catch Jesus in the course of conversation, and so enable them to give him up to the Governor's jurisdiction and authority.

Presently there came up some Sadducees, who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this--

"Well said, Teacher!" exclaimed some of the Teachers of the Law,

When some of them spoke about the Temple being decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said:

You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers and relations and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,

Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words: "This is my body, [which is now to be given on your behalf. Do this in memory of me."

A little while afterwards some one else--a man--saw him and said: "Why, you are one of them!" "No," Peter said, "I am not."

When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.

So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.

And what is more, some of the women among us have greatly astonished us. They went to the tomb at daybreak

So some of our number went to the tomb and found everything just as the women had said; but they did not see Jesus."
