And it came to pass, as Jesus spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee and the paps that gave thee suck.
But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.

And have stood in all the earth: and in every people,
And in every nation I have had the chief rule:
And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord.
Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle,

Jesus spoke again in parables unto his disciples, saying:
The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who made a marriage for his son.
And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage: and they would not come.
Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come ye to the marriage.
But they neglected and went their ways, one to his farm and another to his merchandise.
And the rest laid hands on his servants and, having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
But when the king had heard of it, he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers and burnt their city.
Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.
Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.
And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.
And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.
And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a wedding garment? But he was silent.
Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
For many are called, but few are chosen.

Brethren, be renewed in spirit of your mind:
And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.
Wherefore, putting away lying, speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour. For we are members one of another.
Be angry: and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.
Give not place to the devil.
He that stole, let him now steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.

Jesus said to his disciples: Let your loins be girt and lamps burning in your hands.
And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you that he will gird himself and make them sit down to meat and passing will minister unto them.
And if he shall come in the second watch or come in the third watch and find them so, blessed are those servants.
But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not the Son of man will come.

So speak ye and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty.
For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment.
What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?
And if a brother or sister be naked and want daily food:
And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?
So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.
Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Brethren: The things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.
Furthermore, I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ.
And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God: justice in faith.
That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings: being made conformable to his death,
If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.
Not as though I had already attained, or were already perfect: but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.

And after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.
And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest.
Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.
Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
Into whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you.
And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.
And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
And heal the sick that are therein and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

Thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus.
For indeed he accepted the exhortation: but, being more careful, of his own will he went unto you.
We have sent also with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel through all the churches.
And not that only: but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord and our determined will:
Avoiding this, lest any man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us.
For we forecast what may be good, not only before God but also before men.
And we have sent with them our brother also, whom we have often proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent: with much confidence in you,
Either for Titus, who is my companion and fellow labourer towards you, or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.
Wherefore shew ye to them, in the sight of the churches, the evidence of your charity and of our boasting on your behalf.
