Seeing that he had answered with discernment, Jesus said to him: "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." After that no one ventured to question him further.
Jesus, however, became aware of it, and went away from that place. A number of people followed him, and he cured them all;
A bruised reed he will not break, And a smoldering wick he will not quench, Till he has brought the judgment to a victorious issue,
No one could say a word in answer; nor did any one after that day venture to question him further.
For they did not venture to question him any further.
There was a time when I myself, unconscious of Law, was alive; but when the Commandment was brought home to me, sin sprang into life, while I died!
I, indeed, through Law became dead to Law, in order to live for God.
Let your conversation always be kindly, and seasoned, as it were, with salt; that you may know in each case what answer you ought to give.
