But if your eye is diseased,<n id="1" /> your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then Jesus went throughout all the towns<n id="1" /> and villages, teaching in their synagogues,<n id="2" /> preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and sickness.<n id="3" />

And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple, I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> he will never lose his reward.&#8221;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">At that time Jesus said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I praise<n id="2" /> you, Father, Lord<n id="3" /> of heaven and earth, because<n id="4" /> you have hidden these things from the wise<n id="5" /> and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.

It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest garden plant and becomes a tree,<n id="1" /> so that the wild birds<n id="2" /> come and nest in its branches.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">From that time on<n id="1" /> Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem<n id="2" /> and suffer<n id="3" /> many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law,<n id="4" /> and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,<n id="1" /> it would be better for him to have a huge millstone<n id="2" /> hung around his neck and to be drowned in the open sea.<n id="3" />

And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than to have<n id="1" /> two eyes and be thrown into fiery hell.<n id="2" />p>

He said to him, &#8220;Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.&#8221;

And whoever has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much<n id="1" /> and will inherit eternal life.

When<n id="1" /> it was evening<n id="2" /> the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, &#8216;Call the workers and give the pay<n id="3" /> starting with the last hired until the first.&#8217;

Jesus<n id="1" /> said to him, &#8220;&#8216;<b><i>Lovei>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mindi>b>.&#8217;<n id="3" />

so that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah,<n id="1" /> whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven<n id="1" /> to the other.p>

Then they too will answer,<n id="1" /> &#8216;Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not give you whatever you needed?&#8217;
