He replied, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” The Demand for a Sign.
He said to them in reply, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.” The Calming of a Storm at Sea.
Hallelujah! Blessed the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in his commands.
If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it.
A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the Lord, and who walk in his ways.
Blessed are they who wash their robes so as to have the right to the tree of life and enter the city through its gates.
Now, children, listen to me; happy are they who keep my ways.
Those who keep commands keep their lives, but those who despise these ways will die.
Blessed is the one who reads aloud and blessed are those who listen to this prophetic message and heed what is written in it, for the appointed time is near. Greeting.
