Ye have heard that it was said by them
Of old time, thou shalt not commit adultery;
but 1 say unto you, that whosoever looketh
ON woman to lust after her hath commit
ted adultery with her already in his heart.
Fifth Chapter of Matthew.
Judge not. that ye be not judged. For
with what judgment ye judge. ye shall be
judged; and with what measure We mete. it
shall be measured to you again. And why
beholdest thou the mote that is in thy
brothers eye. but considerest not the beam
that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou
say to thy brother, let me pull out the
mote out of thine eye: and. behold, beam is
in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite. first
cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and
then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the
mote OF thy brothers eye.-Seventh Chap
ter of Matthew.
And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat
in the house. behold. many publicans and
sinners came and sat down with Him and
His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw
it they said unto His disciples, why eateth
your Master with publicans and sinners?
But when Jesus heard that, He said unto
them. they that be whole need not physi.
clan. but they that are sick. But 90 We and
learn what that meaneth, l will have
mercy, and not sacrifice; for am not come
to call the righteous, but sinners to repent

Woe unto the world because of offenses

woe to that man by whom the Offense COM

How think We? If man have an hun
dred sheep. and one of them be gone astray,
doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and
gOeth into the mountains, and seeketh that
which is gone astray? And if so be that he
find it, verify say unto you, he rejoiceth
more of that sheep than of the ninety and
nine which went not astray. Even so it is
not the will of your Father. which is in
heaven, that one of these little ones should
perish. Eighteenth Chapter of Matthew.
And one of the Pharisees desired Him
that He would eat with him. And He
went into the Pharisee's house. and sat
down to meat. And. behold, woman in

sees house, brought an alabaster box of
ointment, and stood at His feet behind Him
weeping, and began to wash His feet with
tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of
her head, and kissed His feet, and anOinted
them with the ointment.
Now when the Pharisee which had bid
den Him saw it, he spake within himself,
saying: This man. If He were prophet.
would have known who and what manner
of woman this is that toucheth Him; for she
is sinner. And Jesus answering said unto
him, Simon, have somewhat to say unto
thee And he saith, Master, say on. There
was certain creditor which had two debt
Ors; the one owed five hundred pence and
the other fifty. And when they had moth
ing to pay he frankly fOrgave them both.
Tell me, therefore. which of them will love
him mOst?"
Simon answered and said, suppose he
to whom he forgave most. And He said
unto him: Thou hast rightly judged. And
He turned to the woman, and said unto
Simon, Seest thou this woman? 1 entered
into thine house, thou gaveSt me no water
for my feet. but she hath washed my feet
with tears. and wiped them with the hairs
of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss, but
this woman, since the time came in hath
not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with
oil thou didst not anOint; but this woman
hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Wherefore l say unto thee. her sins, which
are many. are forgiven; for she loved much;
but to whom little is forgiven, the same
loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy
sins are forgiven. And they that sat at
meat with Him began to say within them
selves. Who is this that fOrgiveth sins
also? And He said to the woman. Thy
faith hath saved thee; 60 in peace.-Sev.
enth Chapter of Luke.
Two men went up into the temple to
pray; the one Pharisee. and the other
publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed
thus with himself: God, thank Thee that
am not as other men are, extOrtiOners,
unjust, adulter0us, or even as this publican.
