Chapter 29: Allegories of ravens and vines

The Bacon Gospels -- Buy 'em!

1 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and they come in groups to their enemies: how much more are ye better than these fowls?

2 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 3 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, take ye thought for the rest?.

4 Consider the vines how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that in time and patience they smother even a cold, obstructing wall. 5 If then God so empower the vine, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cut away; how much more will he empower you, O ye of little faith?

6 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 7 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

8 But rather take ye what is offered by God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

9 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take no thought for the. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, and ye that follow God, more than sufficient..
