الصفحة 100 - He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God ; and he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds ; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

الصفحة 93 - The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field: 32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds ; but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomcth a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
