ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord,
open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence
ye are; (26)then will ye begin to say, We ate and drank in thy
presence, and thou didst teach in our streets. (27)And he will say, I
tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all workers of

(2)And, behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.
(3)And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is
it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not? And they were silent. (4)And
taking hold of him, he healed him, and let him go. (5)And to them he
said: Who is there of you, whose ox or ass[14:5] shall fall into a
