And the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against I Him that they might destroy Him.

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely you did receive, freely give. Take not gold, nor silver, nor copper in your girdles; nor valise for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. And into whatsoever city or village you may enter, investigate who in it is worthy; and there abide until you may go hence. And going into a house, salute it. And if the house may be worthy, let your peace come on it: but if it may be unworthy, let your peace return unto you. And whosoever may not receive you, nor hear your words, going out from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. Truly I say unto you, It will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. Behold, I send you forth like sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the sanhedrins, and will beat you in their synagogues; and they will lead you before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them and the Gentiles. And when they may deliver you, be not solicitous how or what you may speak: for it will be given unto you in that hour what you may say. For you are not those speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is speaking in you. And brother will deliver brother unto death, and the father the child: and children will rise up against parents, and put them to death.

But whosoever may deny me before the people, I will also deny him before my Father who is in the heavens. Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I came to divide a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: and the enemies of a man will be the inmates of his own house. He that loveth father and mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whosoever does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. The one having found his soul shall lose it; and the one losing his soul for my sake shall find it. The one receiving you will receive me, and the one receiving me will receive Him that sent me. The one receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive the reward of a prophet; and the one receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive the reward of a righteous man.

Take neither purse, nor valise, nor sandals: salute no one by the way. Into whatsoever house you may enter, first say, Peace be unto this house. And if the son of peace may be there, your peace shall rest upon it: but if not, it shall return unto you. Abide in the same house, eating and drinking those things which are with them: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. Into whatsoever city you may enter and they may receive you, eat those things which are placed by you: and heal the sick who are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. And into whatsoever city you may enter, and they may not receive you, having come out into the streets of the same, say, Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, do we wipe off against you: but know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand. For I say unto you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works which were wrought in you had been in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting down in sackcloth and ashes. Moreover it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. And thou, Capernaum, art thou not exalted up to heaven? thou shalt be cast down to Hades.

But if any widow has children, or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety to their own house, and to give benefactions to their ancestors: for this is acceptable in the sight of God. She who is truly a widow, and left alone, hopes in God, and abides in prayers and supplication night and day; but she who is wanton is dead though living. Indeed command these things, in order that they may be blameless. But if any one provides not for his own, and especially those of his own house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. Let a widow not be taken into account under three score years, the wife of one husband, being witness in beautiful works; if she has brought up children, if she has entertained strangers, if she has washed the feet of saints, if she has succored those in tribulation, if she has followed in every good work. But reject the younger widows: for when they may wax wanton against Christ, they wish to marry; having condemnation, because they have rejected their first faith: and at the same time they learn to be idle, going about houses; and not only idle, but also loquacious even busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. Therefore I wish the younger women to marry, to raise up children, to rule the house, to give no occasion to the adversary for the sake of reproach; for already certain ones have turned away after Satan. If any faithful woman has widows, let her support them, and let not the church be burdened; in order that she may give her attention to those who are truly widows. Let the elders who stand before the people beautifully, be considered worthy of double remuneration, especially those laboring in the word and teaching. For the scripture says, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The laborer is worthy of his hire. Bring not an accusation against an elder, except before two or three witnesses. Convict those who sin before all, in order that the rest may also have fear. I testify before God, and Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that you must guard these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. Lay hands quickly on no one, and be not partaker of other men's sins.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not producing fruit, He takes it away: and every one producing fruit, He purifies it, that it may produce more fruit. So ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. read more.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to produce fruit of itself, unless it may abide in the vine; so you are not able, unless you may abide in me. I am the vine, and ye are the branches. The one abiding in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit: because you are not able to do anything without me. If any one may not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and they gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burnt. If you may abide in me, and my words may abide in you, ask whatsoever you may wish, and it shall be done unto you. In this my Father is glorified, that you may bear much fruit; and ye shall be my disciples. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: abide in my love.

You did not choose me, but I chose you, and placed you in your position, that you may go forth and bear fruit, and your fruit may abide: in order that He may give you whatsoever you may ask in my name. I command these things unto you, that you must love one another with divine love. If the world hates you, know that it first hated me. If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you. Remember the word which I spoke to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
