Some falls on the rocky ground where it finds but little earth, and it shoots up quickly because it has no depth of soil;

It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds in the world;

His garments also became dazzling with brilliant whiteness--such whiteness as no bleaching on earth could give.

Then He will send forth the angels and gather together His chosen People from north, south, east and west, from the remotest parts of the earth and the sky.

Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.
