1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and
after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom

8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of
Man also confess before the angels of God; 9 but he who denies me in the
presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but
those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 11 When
they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t
be anxious how or what you 13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?” 15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich
man brought forth abundantly. 17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What
will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’ 18 He said, ‘This
is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and
there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 I will tell my soul,
“Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat,
drink, be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required
of you. The things which you have prepared — whose will they be?’ 21 So is
he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious
for your life, what you

42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his
lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the
right times? 43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so
when he comes. 44 Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he
has. 45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his
coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat
and drink, and to be drunken, 46 then the lord of that servant will come
in a day when he isn’t expecting him, and in an hour that he doesn’t know,
and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47 That servant, who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what
he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes, 48 but he who didn’t know,
and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whoever
much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted,
of him more will be asked.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until
it is accomplished! 51 Do you

A lepton is a very small brass Jewish coin worth half a Roman quadrans each, which is worth a quarter of the copper assarion. Lepta are worth less than 1% of an agricultural worker’s daily wages.
