26
Therefore if ye be not able to do that that is least [Therefore if ye may not do that that is least], what be ye busy of other things?
27
Behold ye the lilies of the field, how they wax; they travail not, neither spin. And I say to you, that neither Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
28
And if God clotheth thus the hay, that to day is in the field [which to day is in the field], and to morrow is cast into an oven; how much more you of little faith.
29
And do not ye seek, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; and do not ye be raised on high.
30
For folks of the world seek all these things; and your Father knoweth, that ye have need to all these things.
31
Nevertheless seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be cast to you.
32
Do not ye, little flock, dread, for it pleased to your Father to give you a kingdom.
33
Sell ye those things that ye have in possession [Sell ye those things that ye wield], and give ye alms. And make to you satchels that wax not old, treasure that faileth not in heavens, whither a thief approacheth not [whither a thief nigheth not], neither moth destroyeth.
34
For where is thy treasure, there thine heart shall be. [Forsooth where thy treasure is, there also thine heart shall be.]
35
Be your loins girded above, and lanterns burning in your hands;
36
and be ye like to men that abide their lord [and ye like to men abiding their lord], when he shall turn again from the weddings, that when he shall come, and knock, at once [anon] they open to him.
