15. . Value direction not treasure

12:13-31

someone

"re inheritance"

13 And said someone out of the crowd to him: Teacher, tell the brother of me to divide with me the inheritance. 14 But he said to him: Man who me appointed a judge or a divider over you? 15 and he said to them: Beware and guard from against all covetousness because not in the to abound to anyone the life of him is of the things existing to him. 16 And he told a parable to them saying: of a certain man rich bore well the land. 17 and he reasoned in himself saying: What may I do because I have not where I may gather the fruits of me? 18 And he said: This will I do I will pull down of me the barns and larger ones I will build, and I will gather there all the wheat and the goods of me. 19 and I will say to the soul of me: Soul, thou

hast many goods laid up for years many; take rest, eat, drink, be glad. 20 But said to him God Foolish man, in this night the soul of thee they demand from thee; then the things which thou preparedst, to whom will they be? 21 So the one treasuring to himself and not toward God being rich. 22 And he said to the disciples of him. Therefore I tell you: Do not be anxious for the life what ye may eat, nor for the body of you what ye may put on. 23 For the life more is than the food and the body than the clothing. 24 consider ye the ravens, that neither they sow nor reap to which is not storehouse not barn, and God feeds them; by how much rather ye differ from the birds. 25 And who

of you being anxious can on the stature of him to add a cubit? 26 If therefore the least ye can why concerning the other things are ye anxious. 27 consider ye the lilies how neither they spin or weave; but I tell you, not Solomon in all the glory of him was arrayed as one of these. 28 And if in a field the grass being today n tomorrow into an oven being thrown God so clothes, by how much rather you, little-faiths. 29 And ye do not seek what ye may eat and what ye may drink, and do not be in suspense; 30 for these things all the nations of the world seek after; but of you the Father knows that ye have need of them; 31 but seek ye the kingdom of him and these things will be added to you.

16. . Focus on direction

12:32-40

Little flock

"seek kingdom & things added"

32 Fear not, little flock; because was well pleased the Father of you to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell the possessions of you and give alms; make for yourselves purses not becoming old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where a thief not comes near nor moth corrupts; 34 for where is the treasure of you, there also the heart of you will be. 35 Let be of you the loins having been girded and the lamps burning; 36 and ye like men awaiting the lord of themselves when he returns from the wedding

festivities, that coming and knocking immediately they may open to him. 37 Blessed slaves those, whom coming the lord will find watching; truly I tell you that he will gird himself and make to recline them and coming up to will serve them. 38 And if in the second and if in the third watch he comes and finds so, blessed are those slaves. 39 But this know ye, that if knew the house-master in what hour the thief comes, he would not have allowed to be dug through the house of him. 40 And ye be prepared because in what hour ye think not the Son of man comes.

17. . Internalise honesty

12:41-53

Peter

"blessed slave . . faithful steward"

12:41 And said Peter Lord, to us parable this sayest thou or also to all? 42 And said the Lord: Who then is the faithful steward the prudent, whom will appoint the lord over the household attendants of him to give in season the portion of food? 43 Blessed slave that, whom coming the lord of him will find doing so. 44 Truly I tell you that over all the possessions of him he will appoint him. 45 If But says slave that in the heart of him: Delays the lord of me to come and begins to strike the menservants and the maidservants, to eat both and to drink and to become drunk, 46 will come the lord slave of that in a day in which he does not expect and in an hour in which he knows not, and will cut asunder him, and the portion of him with the unbelievers will place. 47 But that slave having known the will of the

lord of him and not having prepared or done according to the will of him will be beaten with many stripes. 48 But the one not having known but having done things worthy of stripes will be beaten with few stripes. But to everyone to whom was given much, much will be demanded from him, and with whom was deposited much, more exceedingly they will ask him. 49 Fire I came to cast on the earth and what will I if already it was kindled. 50 a baptism and I have to be baptised with and how am I pressed until it is accomplished. 51 think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? No I tell you but rather division. 52 For there will be from now five in one house having been divided, three against two and two against three. 53 will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against the mother, mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law of her and daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.

18. . Discern

12:54-59

Crowds

"face of earth you discern, this no"

12:54 And he said also to the crowds: When ye see a cloud rising over the west, immediately ye say that a storm is coming, and it becomes so; 55 and when a south wind blowing ye say that heat there will be and it becomes. 56 Hypocrites the face of the earth and of the heaven ye know to discern time but this how do ye not discern?

57 And why even from yourselves do ye not judge the righteous thing? 58 For as thou goest with the adversary of thee to a ruler, in the way give the pains to be rid from him, lest he drag thee to the judge, and the judge thee ill deliver to the usher, and the usher thee will cast into prison. 59 I tell thee by no means mayest thou come out thence until even the last lepton thou payest.

19. . Nurture nature

13:1-9

some

"Leave fig tree until I dig around it"

13:1 And there were present some at same the time reporting to him about the Galileans of whom the blood Pilate mixed with the sacrifices of them. 2 And answering he said to them: Think ye that Galilaeans these sinners above all the Galilaeans were, because these things they have suffered? 3 No I tell you, but unless ye repent, all likewise ye will perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom fell the tower in Siloam and killed them, think ye that they debtors were above all the men - dwelling

in Jerusalem? 5 No I tell you, but unless ye repent, all similarly ye will perish. 6. and he told this parable. A fig-tree had a certain man having been planted in the vineyard of him, and came seeking fruit in it and found not. 7 And he said to the vinedresser: Behold three years it is since I come seeking fruit in fig-tree this and find not; cut down it; why even the ground it spoils? 8 But he answering says to him: Lord, leave it also this year, until I may dig round it and may throw dung. 9 and if indeed it makes fruit in the future: otherwise, thou shalt cut down it.

"woman . . . bending double"

10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbaths. 11 And behold a woman a spirit having of infirmity years eighteen and was bending double and not being able to become erect entirely. 12 And

seeing her Jesus called to him and said to her: Woman thou has been loosed from the infirmity of thee. 13 and he put on her the hands and at once she was straightened, and glorified God.

"Loosen bonds"

14 But answering the synagogue ruler, being angry that on the Sabbath healed Jesus said to the crowd, six days there are on which it behoves to work; on them therefore coming be ye healed and not on the day of the Sabbath. 15 but answered him the Lord and said: Hypocrites each one of you on the Sabbath does he not loosen the ox of him or the ass from the manger and leading it away

give drink? 16 And this woman a daughter of Abraham being, whom bound Satan behold ten and eight years, behoved it not to be loosened from bond this on the day of the Sabbath? 17 And these things saying him were put to shame all the ones opposing him, and all the crowd rejoiced over all the glorious things happening by him.

22. . Start from small

13:18-22

throughout cities

"mustard seed"

18 He said therefore; To what like is the kingdom of God, and to what may I liken it? 19 Like it is to a grain of mustard, which taking a man cast into a garden of himself and it grew and became into a tree, and the birds of the heaven lodged in the

branches of it. 20 And again he said: To what may I liken the kingdom of God? 21 Like it is to leaven, which taking a woman hid in of meal measures there, until was leavened all. 22 And he journeyed through throughout cities and villages reaching and journey making to Jerusalem.

"journey making to Jerusalem." 13:22
