A centurion<n id="1" /> there<n id="2" /> had a slave<n id="3" /> who was highly regarded,<n id="4" /> but who was sick and at the point of death.

&#8220;A certain creditor<n id="1" /> had two debtors; one owed him<n id="2" /> five hundred silver coins,<n id="3" /> and the other fifty.

But<n id="1" /> those who were at the table<n id="2" /> with him began to say among themselves, &#8220;Who is this, who even forgives sins?&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now when Jesus returned,<n id="1" /> the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.

Now<n id="1" /> a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage<n id="2" /> for twelve years<n id="3" /> but could not be healed by anyone.

(Now about five thousand men<n id="1" /> were there.)<n id="2" /> Then<n id="3" /> he said to his disciples, &#8220;Have<n id="4" /> them sit down in groups of about fifty each.&#8221;

I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom<n id="1" /> than for that town!<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">But the expert,<n id="1" /> wanting to justify<n id="2" /> himself, said to Jesus, &#8220;And who is my neighbor?&#8221;

but one thing<n id="1" /> is needed. Mary has chosen the best<n id="2" /> part; it will not be taken away from her.&#8221;p>

When a strong man,<n id="1" /> fully armed, guards his own palace,<n id="2" /> his possessions are safe.<n id="3" />

Woe to you!<n id="1" /> You are like unmarked graves, and people<n id="2" /> walk over them without realizing it!&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

Aren&#8217;t five sparrows sold for two pennies?<n id="1" /> Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night<n id="1" /> and finds them alert,<n id="2" /> blessed are those slaves!<n id="3" />

For from now on<n id="1" /> there will be five in one household divided, three against two and two against three.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Thus Jesus<n id="1" /> asked,<n id="2" /> &#8220;What is the kingdom of God<n id="3" /> like?<n id="4" /> To<n id="5" /> what should I compare it?

It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with<n id="1" /> three measures<n id="2" /> of flour until all the dough had risen.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

But<n id="1" /> he will reply,<n id="2" /> &#8216;I don&#8217;t know where you come from!<n id="3" /> Go away from me, all you evildoers!&#8217;<n id="4" />

Then<n id="1" /> you will be blessed,<n id="2" /> because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid<n id="3" /> at the resurrection of the righteous.&#8221;p>

Then<n id="1" /> the slave said, &#8216;Sir, what you instructed has been done, and there is still room.&#8217;<n id="2" />
