their cargoes of gold, or silver, or precious stones, or pearls, or fine linen, or purple robes, or silk, or scarlet cloth; nor their many scented woods; nor their many articles of ivory; nor their many articles of choicest wood, or brass, or iron, or marble;

No more shall the music of harpers, or minstrels, or flute players, or trumpeters be heard in you, no more shall any worker, skilled in any art, be found in you; no more shall the sound of a mill be heard in you;

Look at the facts of your Call, Brothers. There are not many among you who are wise, as men reckon wisdom, not many who are influential, not many who are high-born;

We are also sending with them another of our Brothers, whose earnestness we have many a time proved in many ways, and whom we now find made even more earnest by his great confidence in you.

Are they 'Servants of Christ'? Though it is madness to talk like this, I am more so than they! I have had more of toil, more of imprisonment! I have been flogged times without number. I have been often at death's door.

And I was told--' You must prophesy again about men of many peoples, and nations, and languages, and about many kings.'

no more shall the light of a lamp shine in you; no more shall the voices of bridegroom and bride be heard in you. Your merchants were the great men of the earth, for all the nations were deceived by your magical charms.

and he will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, nor will there be any more grief or crying or pain. The old order has passed away.'

God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the Prophets,

I do not want many of you, my Brothers, to become teachers, knowing, as you do, that we who teach shall be judged by a more severe standard than others.

No, the more you share the sufferings of the Christ, the more may you rejoice, that, when the time comes for the manifestation of his Glory, you may rejoice and exult.

Many false Prophets, also, will appear and lead many astray;

At that very time Jesus had cured many people of diseases, afflictions, and wicked spirits, and had given many blind people their sight.

No, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

But, when he came to himself, he said 'How many of my father's hired servants have more bread than they can eat, while here am I starving to death!

Jesus cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons, and would not permit them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

On 'That Day' many will say to me 'Master, Master, was not it in your name that we taught, and in your name that we drove out demons, and in your name that we did many miracles?'

They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.

Jesus insisted upon their not telling any one; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,

Do not, therefore, be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Many of the people, however, believed in him. "When the Christ comes," they said, "will he give more signs of his mission than this man has given?"
