³⁷ And he answering said to them, `He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Man,

⁸ but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.'

³ how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving -- to be spoken through the Lord -- by those having heard was confirmed to us,

¹ In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,

⁵ Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

⁷ so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth -- God;

¹⁸ for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

²¹ Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;'

²⁰ verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'

¹⁶ `He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'

¹³ And Jesus, having come to the parts of Cesarea Philippi, was asking his disciples, saying, `Who do men say me to be -- the Son of Man?'

¹⁴ and they said, `Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.'

¹⁵ He saith to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?'

¹⁶ and Simon Peter answering said, `Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

⁴¹ the Son of Man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather up out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing the unlawlessness,

²⁷ `And the servants of the householder, having come near, said to him, Sir, good seed didst thou not sow in thy field? whence then hath it the darnel?

²⁴ Another simile he set before them, saying: `The reign of the heavens was likened to a man sowing good seed in his field,

⁴⁰ `He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,

²⁰ and Jesus saith to him, `The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may lay the head.'
