19 And caʼin to him twa certain anes oʼ his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, sayin, “Are ye the Ane that soud come? or are we to look for anither ane?”
And, eftir thir things, the Lord took seeventy mair, as weel, and sent them oot, twa by twa, afore his face, intil ilka toon and place whaur he wad come his sel.
And it cam aboot, whan he was in a particular place, prayin, as he endit ane oʼ his disciples said to him, “Lord! tell us hoo to pray; eʼen as John tellʼt his disciples!”
And the Lord says, “Wha than, is the true leal steward, the canny ane, wham his maister wull set ower his hame‐servants, to gie them at due times the portion oʼ their meat?
But the Lord answerʼt him, and said, “Ye pretenders! disna ilk ane oʼ ye lowse his ox or his ass frae the tether on the Sabbath day, and lead it awa to drink?
And the Lord said, “Gin ye had faith eʼen as a grain oʼ the mustard seed, ye wad say to this sycamore, ‘Be ye liftit, and be plantit iʼ the deep!’ and it soud obey ye.
But, staunin afore him, Zaccheus said, “Lord! I gie the hauf oʼ my gear to the puir; and gin frae ony ane I hae taen by fause dealin, I gie him back fowr‐fauld!”
And turnin his sel, the Lord lookit on Peter. And Peter mindit the word oʼ the Lord, hoo he said to him, “Or the cock craw this day, ye sal thrice utterly deny me!”
