How much more valuable are you than birds! Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height. If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like "one of these". But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe "yew", O you of little faith. Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious, For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you "need" these things. But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you. Do not be afraid little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. | + | He said to his disciples, Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them.

| − | Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning. Be like "men watching" for their Lord when he returns from the wedding feast; that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him. "Blessed" are those servants whom the Lord will find "watching" when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that "he will dress" himself, make them recline, and will come and "serve them". They will be "blessed" if he comes in the second or third watch and "finds them so". But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be "broken into". Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him. | + | Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning.

| | Now there were some present at the same time, who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered them, Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered such things"? I "tellyou no", but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way. Or those "eight-teen" on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem"? I "tellyou no", but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way. | | Now there were some present at the same time, who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

| − | He spoke this parable. A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. He said to the vine dresser, Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and found none. Cut it down, Why does it waste the soil? He answered, Lord, leave it alone this year also while I dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, "afterthat", you can cut it down. | + | He spoke this parable.
