P.1505 - §7
It was early on the morning of Sabbath, February 23, that the company
of John, engaged in eating their morning meal, looked up toward the north
and beheld Jesus coming to them. As he approached them, John stood upon
a large
P.1506 - §0 rock and, lifting up his sonorous
voice, said: "Behold the Son of God, the deliverer of the world!
This is he of whom I have said, `After me there will come one who is preferred
before me because he was before me.' For this cause came I out of the
wilderness to preach repentance and to baptize with water, proclaiming
that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. And now comes one who shall baptize
you with the Holy Spirit. And I beheld the divine spirit descending upon
this man, and I heard the voice of God declare, `This is my beloved Son
in whom I am well pleased.'"
P.1652 - §1 And Jesus said, "You have rightly judged," and pointing to the woman, he continued: "Simon, take a good look at this woman. I entered your house as an invited guest, yet you gave me no water for my feet. This grateful woman has washed my feet with tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave me no kiss of friendly greeting, but this woman, ever since she came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil you neglected to anoint, but she has anointed my feet with precious lotions. And what is the meaning of all this? Simply that her many sins have been forgiven, and this has led her to love much. But those who have received but little forgiveness sometimes love but little." And turning around toward the woman, he took her by the hand and, lifting her up, said: "You have indeed repented of your sins, and they are forgiven. Be not discouraged by the thoughtless and unkind attitude of your fellows; go on in the joy and liberty of the kingdom of heaven."
P.1810 - §1 Now let me ask you: Which of these three turned out to be the neighbor of him who fell among the robbers?" And when the lawyer perceived that he had fallen into his own snare, he answered, "He who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said, "Go and do likewise."
