The Book of the Prophet Amos 5: 14-15, 21-24

5:14	Seek good and not evil, so that you may live. And the Lord God of hosts will be with you, just as you have asked.
5:15	Hate evil and love good, and establish judgment at the gate. Perhaps then the Lord God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
5:21	I hate and have rejected your feasts; and I will not accept the odor from your gatherings.
5:22	For if you offer me holocausts and your gifts, I will not receive them; and I will not look upon the vows of your fatness.
5:23	Take away from me the tumult of your songs, and I will not listen to the canticles of your lyre.
5:24	And judgment will be revealed like water, and justice like a mighty torrent.

马太福音 8: 28-34

8:28	当他跨海抵达, 进入 Gerasenes 地区, 他遇到了两个有恶魔的人, 谁如此野蛮, 当他们从坟墓中走出时, 没有人能够通过那条路.
8:29	看哪, 他们哭了, 说: “我们对你来说是什么, 耶稣, 上帝之子? 你来这里是为了折磨我们吗？?”
8:30	现在有, 离他们不远, 一群猪在喂食.
8:31	然后恶魔向他祈求, 说: “如果你从这里抛弃我们, 打发我们进入猪群。”
8:32	他对他们说, “去。”和他们, 出去, 进入猪群. 看哪, 整个牛群突然沿着一个陡峭的地方冲进海里. 他们死在了水里.
8:33	然后牧羊人逃跑了, 到达城市, 他们报道了这一切, 和那些曾经有过恶魔的人.
8:34	看哪, 全城都出去迎接耶稣. 并且见过他, 他们向他请愿, 这样他就可以越过他们的边界.
