Jesus Christ -- Biography
"And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: yet I
say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these. But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which
to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more
clothe you, O ye of little faith? Be not therefore anxious, saying,
'What shall we eat?' or, 'What shall we drink?' or, 'Wherewithal shall
we be clothed?' For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for
your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your
Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
"Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be
anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
CHARITABLE JUDGMENT.
"Be ye merciful, even as your Father is merciful. And judge not, and
ye shall not be judged: and condemn not, and ye shall not be
condemned: release, and ye shall be released: give, and it shall be
given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running
over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete
it shall be measured to you again."
And he spake also a parable unto them, "Can the blind guide the blind?
shall they not both fall into a pit? The disciple is not above his
teacher: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how canst thou
say to thy brother, 'Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in
thine eye,' when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine
own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye,
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy
brother's eye.
"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls
before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and
turn and rend you."
PRAYER.
And he said unto them, "Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go
unto him at midnight, and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves;
for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing
to set before him;' and he from within shall answer and say, 'Trouble
me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I
cannot rise and give thee?' I say unto you, Though he will not rise
and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity
he will arise and give him as many as he needeth.
