Finally he sent his son to them,<n id="1" /> saying, &#8216;They will respect my son.&#8217;

For many will come in my name, saying, &#8216;I am the Christ,&#8217;<n id="1" /> and they will mislead many.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.<n id="1" />p>

But if<n id="1" /> that evil slave should say to himself,<n id="2" /> &#8216;My master is staying away a long time,&#8217;

When<n id="1" /> she poured this oil on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

for this is my blood, the blood<n id="1" /> of the covenant,<n id="2" /> that is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Then he said to them, &#8220;My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.&#8221;

And<n id="1" /> a voice from heaven said,<n id="2" /> &#8220;This is my one dear Son;<n id="3" /> in him<n id="4" /> I take great delight.&#8221;<n id="5" />p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Whoever, then, acknowledges<n id="1" /> me before people, I will acknowledge<n id="2" /> before my Father in heaven.

Then it says, &#8216;I will return to the home I left.&#8217;<n id="1" /> When it returns,<n id="2" /> it finds the house<n id="3" /> empty, swept clean, and put in order.<n id="4" />

This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet:<n id="1" />p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8220;<b><i>I will open my mouth in parables,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><i><b>I will announce what has been hidden from the foundation of the worldb>.i>&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

And he replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.

So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your<n id="1" /> brother<n id="2" /> from your heart.&#8221;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations<n id="1" /> because of my name.<n id="2" />

Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers,<n id="1" /> and on my return I would have received my money back with interest!<n id="2" />

And the king will answer them,<n id="1" /> &#8216;I tell you the truth,<n id="2" /> just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters<n id="3" /> of mine, you did it for me.&#8217;p>
