In those days a man will say to his brother, “Since you have a coat, you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of ruins!”
But he will reply, “No! I can’t help. I don’t have any extra food or clothes. Don’t put me in charge!”
In that day so few men will be left that seven women will fight for each man, saying, “Let us all marry you! We will provide our own food and clothing. Only let us take your name so we won’t be mocked as old maids.”
When Jesus saw that they were ready to force him to be their king, he slipped away into the hills by himself.
