What did Jesus say about Rebuke?

¹⁹ “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.

²⁰ A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,

²¹ and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

²² The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

²³ In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

²⁴ He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’

²⁵ “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.

²⁶ Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’

²⁷ “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—

²⁸ for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’

²⁹ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

³¹ “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”

² “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.

³ Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

⁴ Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.

⁵ Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’

⁶ If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

⁷ Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.

⁸ Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

⁹ Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’

¹⁰ But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,

¹¹ ‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’

¹² I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

¹ “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

² Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

³ Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,

⁴ but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

⁵ Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

⁶ But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’

⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

⁸ The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’

⁹ But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’

¹⁰ While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

¹¹ Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’

¹² But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

¹³ Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

²⁷ “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.

²⁸ Father, glorify your name!”

³⁰ “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

³⁵ “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.”

¹⁵ “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

¹⁶ By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

¹⁷ Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.

¹⁸ A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

¹⁹ Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

²⁰ Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

²³ “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.

²⁴ For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

²⁵ “Behold, I have told you beforehand.

²⁶ “If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.

²⁷ For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

²⁸ For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.

³⁴ “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

³⁵ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”

³⁶ “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.

³⁷ No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.

³⁸ But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

³⁹ No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

³⁴ “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.

³⁵ For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

³⁶ A man’s foes will be those of his own household.

³⁷ He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.

³⁸ He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.

³⁹ He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
