When<n id="1" /> you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that by their many words they will be heard.

As<n id="1" /> the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age.

For just like the days of Noah<n id="1" /> were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;For it is like a man going on a journey, who summoned his slaves<n id="1" /> and entrusted his property to them.

If<n id="1" /> he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If<n id="2" /> he refuses to listen to the church, treat him like<n id="3" /> a Gentile<n id="4" /> or a tax collector.<n id="5" />p>

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom<n id="1" /> for many.&#8221;p>

For just like the lightning<n id="1" /> comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

All<n id="1" /> the nations will be assembled before him, and he will separate people one from another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Thus whenever you do charitable giving,<n id="1" /> do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in synagogues<n id="2" /> and on streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth,<n id="3" /> they have their reward.

For just as Jonah was <b><i>in the belly of the huge fishi>b><n id="1" /> <i><b>for three days and three nightsb>i>,<n id="2" /> so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
