For, from ancient times, Moses has, in every city, those who preach him, being read in the synagogue every sabbath-day.

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and, as his custom was, he entered the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood up to read.

But he said to them: Have you not read what David did, when he and those who were with him were hungry? how he entered the house of God, and ate the loaves of the presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but for the priests only? Or, have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath-days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

And he said to them: Did you never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those who were with him? How he entered the house of God in the days of Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the loaves of the presence, which, it is not lawful, except for the priests, to eat, and gave to those also who were with him?

And Jesus answered and said to them: Have you not read even that which David did, when he was hungry him self, and those who were with him, that he entered the house of God, and took the loaves of the presence, and ate, and gave to those also who were with him, which it is not lawful, except for the priests alone, to eat?

He answered and said to them: Have you not read that the Creator, at the beginning, created them male and female,

so that, when you read, you can see my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,)

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life through his name.

I am astonished that you are so soon turning away from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel: which is nothing else than that there are some who trouble you, and are determined to pervert the gospel of the Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach to you any other gospel than that which we have preached, let him be ac cursed.read more.
As we said before, so even now I say again, if any one preaches to you any other gospel than that which you have received, let him be accursed.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you expect such things, earnestly strive, by being spotless and blameless, to be found by him in peace: and count the long-suffering of our Lord, salvation, even as our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, has written to you; as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.

I have written these things to you concerning those who deceive you.
