Luke - ch 12 v 1 - 20
- And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
- For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.
- For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.
- And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
- But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.
- Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
- Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
- And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
- But he that shall deny me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
- And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
- And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, and to magistrates and powers, be not solicitous how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;
- For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you must say.
- And one of the multitude said to him: Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me.
- But he said to him: Man, who hath appointed me judge, or divider, over you?
- And he said to them: Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for a man's life doth not consist in the abundance of things which he possesseth.
- And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.
- And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
- And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and will build greater; and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me, and my goods.
- And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thy rest; eat, drink, make good cheer.
- But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
