“For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves. ¹ 

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels ¹  in heaven.

For just like the days of Noah ¹  were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

“You stubborn ¹  people, with uncircumcised ²  hearts and ears! ³  You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors ⁴  did!

Immediately ¹  something like scales ²  fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He ³  got up and was baptized,
