He said to them, "Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him:

Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are innocent?

and they said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants you have perfected praise'?"

Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?

But as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God,

But his master answered him, 'You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed?

But he said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those who were with him:

But if we say, 'From men'"they feared the people, for all held that John was a real prophet.

Have you not read this Scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone;

I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

So he went out and followed him; and he did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something outward and in the flesh.

But their minds were hardened; for to this day, when they read the old covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because only in Christ is it removed.

Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts.

The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

Now she who is a real widow, and who has been left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
