8:1	And the word of the Lord of hosts came, saying:
8:2	Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been zealous for Zion with a great zeal, and with a great indignation have I been zealous for her.
8:3	Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been turned back towards Zion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem will be called: “The City of Truth,” and “The Mountain of the Lord of Hosts, the Sanctified Mountain.”
8:4	Thus says the Lord of hosts: Then elderly men and elderly women will dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man will be with his walking stick in his hand, because of the multitude of days.
8:5	And the streets of the city will be filled with toddlers and children, playing in its streets.
8:6	Thus says the Lord of hosts: If it seems difficult in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, could it indeed be difficult in my eyes, says the Lord of hosts?
8:7	Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the land of the East, and from the land of the setting of the sun.
8:8	And I will lead them, and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in justice.

9:46	Now an idea entered into them, as to which of them was greater.
9:47	But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and stood him beside him.
9:48	And he said to them: “Whoever will receive this child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me. For whoever is the lesser among you all, the same is greater.”
9:49	And responding, John said: “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in your name. And we prohibited him, for he does not follow with us.”
9:50	And Jesus said to him: “Do not prohibit him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.”
