Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, a merciful disposition, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering: bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any one have a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also do you:

Even greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father; and whatever you ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

But you know him, because he dwells with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you. Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you shall see me. Because I live, you also shall live. In that clay you shall know that I am in my Father, arid you in me, and I in you.

But if you had known what this means I desire mercy, and not sacrifice you would not have condemned the blameless. For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.

Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

He answered and said to them: "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. In vain do they worship me, teaching precepts, the commandments of men.

And the scribes and Pharisees watched closely, whether he would heal on the sabbath-day, that they might find an accusation against him. But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had the withered hand: Rise, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose, and stood. Then Jesus said to them, I will ask you a question: Which is lawful on the sabbath, to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill?

But they were filled with madness, and began to consult with one another what they should do to Jesus.
