That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth,
from the blood of righteous Able

whom ye slew between the temple and the alter.
Verily I say unto you,
All these things shall come upon this generation.

The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

Whoever loves money never has money enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.

If you see the poor oppressed in a district,
and justice and rights denied,
do not be surprised at such things;
for one official is eyed by a higher one,
and over them both are others higher still.
The increase from the land is taken by all;
the king himself profits from the fields.

Much dreaming and many words are meaningless.
Therefore stand in awe of God.

Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:
There was a man all alone;
