12:13For there is no other God but you, who have care of all, that you should show that you do not give judgment unjustly.

16For your power is the beginning of righteousness: and because you are Lord of all, you makest yourself gracious to all.

17For you shewest your power, when men will not believe you to be absolute in power, and you convincest the boldness of them that know you not.

18But you being master of power, judgest with tranquillity, and with great favour disposest of us: for your power is at hand when you will.

19But you have taught your people by such works, that they must be righteous and humane, and have made your children to be of a good hope: because in judging, you givest place for repentance for sins.

86:5For you, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon you.

6Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.

9All the nations you have made shall come and adore before you, O Lord: and they shall glorify your name.

10For you are great and do wonderful things: you are God alone.

15And you, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.

16O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give your command to your servant, and save the son of your servant.

8:26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings.

27And he that searcheth the hearts, knows what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to God.

13:24Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds in his field.

25But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way.

26And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle.

27And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him: Sir, did you not sow good offspring in your field? whence then has it cockle?

28And he said to them: An enemy has done this. And the servants said to him: Will you that we go and gather it up?

29And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.

30Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather you into my barn.

31Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard offspring, which a man took and sowed in his field.

32Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof.

33Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.

34All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the crowds: and without parables he did not speak to them.

35That it might be fulfilled which was said by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

36Then having sent away the crowds, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.

37Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good offspring, is the Son of Man.

38And the field, is the world. And the good offspring are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the evil one.

39And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.

40Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world.

41The Son of Man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work sin.

42And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43Then shall the righteous shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears to hear, let him hear.
