The Gospel of Matthew 6

⁶ But you, when you pray enter into your inner room and close the door, and pray to your Father who is in private;
and your Father, who sees in private, will reward you openly.
⁷ And when you pray be not chatterers like the heathen; for they expect to be heard for their many words.
⁸ Therefore, be not like them, for your Father knows what is needful for you before you ask him.
⁹ Therefore, pray in this way; Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name.
¹⁰ Your kingdom come: Your will be done; as in Heaven, so on earth:
¹¹ Give us the bread of our need this day;
¹² And forgive us our offences, as we have forgiven those who offend us:
¹³ And bring us not into trial, but deliver us from evil, For Your is the Realm, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever: Amen.

The Gospel of Matthew 19

and you will have a treasure in Heaven; and then, come follow me.
²² And the young man heard these words and he left sad; for he had great wealth.
²³ And Jesus said to his disciples: Truly I say to you, it is difficult for a wealthy man to enter into the Realm of Heaven.
²⁴ Yes, I say to yo: It is easier for a rope to pass tru the eye of a needle, than for a wealthy man to enter the Realm of God.
²⁵ And when the disciples heard this, they were astonished, and said: Who then can attain life?
²⁶ Jesus looked at them, and said to them: For men this is impossible, but with God every thing is possible.

⁵ And they persisted, and said: He is inflaming the people, by teaching in all Judaea, starting from Galilee, down to here.
⁶ And Pilate, when he heard the name Galilee, inquired if the man were a Galilean.
⁷ And having learned that he was from under Herod‘s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, for he was in Jerusalem on those days.

¹⁰ And the high priests and scribes stood up and vehemently accused him.
¹¹ And Herod and his soldiers showed contempt to him. And when he had mocked him, he clothed him in a purple robe, and sent him to Pilate.

Acts 13

⁶ And when they had traveled the entire island as far as the city Paphos, they found a certain man, a Jewish sorcerer, whose name was Bar–Suma.
⁷ He was close to a wise man called Sergius Paulus, who was the proconsul. And the proconsul sent for Saul and BarNabas, and wanted to hear from them the word of God.
⁸ And this sorcerer, Bar–Suma; whose name means Elymas, tried to hinder them, wanting to keep the proconsul away from the faith.
⁹ And Saul, who was called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he looked at him,
¹⁰ and said, O you full of every sort of fraud and evilness, you son of the devil, and enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop twisting the right ways of the Lord?
¹¹ And now, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, and will not see the sun for a time. And at that moment there fell upon him a mist and darkness, and he went about, asking who would lead him by the hand.
¹² And when the proconsul saw what happened, he was astonished; and he believed in the teachings of the Lord.
