But God said to him, &#8216;You fool! This very night your life<n id="1" /> will be demanded back from<n id="2" /> you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?&#8217;<n id="3" />

be like people<n id="1" /> waiting for their master to come back from the wedding celebration,<n id="2" /> so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.

But the worker<n id="1" /> answered him, &#8216;Sir, leave it alone this year too, until I dig around it and put fertilizer<n id="2" /> on it.

<t /><p class="bodytext">At that time,<n id="1" /> some Pharisees<n id="2" /> came up and said to Jesus,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Get away from here,<n id="4" /> because Herod<n id="5" /> wants to kill you.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">When<n id="1" /> one of those at the meal with Jesus<n id="2" /> heard this, he said to him, &#8220;Blessed is everyone<n id="3" /> who will feast<n id="4" /> in the kingdom of God!&#8221;<n id="5" />

I will get up and go to my father and say to him, &#8220;Father, I have sinned<n id="1" /> against heaven<n id="2" /> and against<n id="3" /> you.

But when this son of yours<n id="1" /> came back, who has devoured<n id="2" /> your assets with prostitutes,<n id="3" /> you killed the fattened calf<n id="4" /> for him!&#8217;

The man<n id="1" /> replied, &#8216;A hundred measures<n id="2" /> of olive oil.&#8217; The manager<n id="3" /> said to him, &#8216;Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.&#8217;<n id="4" />

He<n id="1" /> replied to him, &#8216;If they do not respond to<n id="2" /> Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

It would be better for him to have a millstone<n id="1" /> tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea<n id="2" /> than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.<n id="3" />

Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to you saying, &#8216;I repent,&#8217; you must forgive<n id="1" /> him.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Would any one of you say<n id="1" /> to your slave<n id="2" /> who comes in from the field after plowing or shepherding sheep, &#8216;Come at once and sit down for a meal&#8217;?<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the disciples<n id="2" /> said<n id="3" /> to him, &#8220;Where,<n id="4" /> Lord?&#8221; He replied to them, &#8220;Where the dead body<n id="5" /> is, there the vultures<n id="6" /> will gather.&#8221;<n id="7" />p>

Won&#8217;t<n id="1" /> God give justice to his chosen ones, who cry out<n id="2" /> to him day and night?<n id="3" /> Will he delay<n id="4" /> long to help them?

And those who were in front<n id="1" /> scolded<n id="2" /> him to get him to be quiet, but he shouted<n id="3" /> even more, &#8220;Son of David, have mercy on me!&#8221;

And immediately he regained<n id="1" /> his sight and followed Jesus,<n id="2" /> praising<n id="3" /> God. When<n id="4" /> all the people saw it, they too<n id="5" /> gave praise to God.p>

And the king<n id="1" /> said to him, &#8216;Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful<n id="2" /> in a very small matter, you will have authority<n id="3" /> over ten cities.&#8217;

So<n id="1" /> they discussed it with one another, saying, &#8220;If we say, &#8216;From heaven,&#8217; he will say, &#8216;Why did you not believe him?&#8217;

When harvest time came, he sent a slave<n id="1" /> to the tenants so that they would give<n id="2" /> him his portion of the crop.<n id="3" /> However, the tenants beat his slave<n id="4" /> and sent him away empty-handed.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> went out and made his way,<n id="3" /> as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives,<n id="4" /> and the disciples followed him.
