LG65 Messengers of the soul

He said:
A good person owned a vineyard.
He lent it to tenants for editing
and lease to receive from them.
He sent his servant to the tenants to collect the lease from them on the vineyard.
They seized his servant and beat him to death.
The servant returned and told his master.
The master said:
Maybe they didn’t recognize him.
He sent another servant.
The tenants also beat him.
Then the owner sent his son and said:
Maybe they will respect my son.
Because the tenants knew that he was the heir to the vineyard,
they grabbed him and killed him.
He who has ears, let him hear!

LG64 Beyond loneliness

Jesus said:
A man would someday receive guests.
And after he prepared the meal,
he sent his servant to pick up the guests.
He went to the first and told him:
My master invites you.
This one answered:
I still have a case to deal with merchants.
They are coming to me tonight. I have to give them my orders.
I ask you to apologize for the meal.
He went to another and told him:
My master invites you.
And this one answered:
I just bought a house and am occupied all day.
I don’t have time to come.
He went to another and said:
My master invites you.
He replied:
My friend is getting married and I need the wedding feast
take care of. I can not come. I’m asking you to
apologize for the meal.
He went to someone else and said:
My master invites you.
This one answered him:
I recently bought an estate and I am on my way to collect the lease.
I can not come. I ask you to apologize.
The servant returned and said to his master:
Those you invited to the meal
have apologized.
The master said to his servant:
Then go outside, along the roads, and bring
whoever you meet comes along for the meal.
Buyers and sellers will be my dad’s places
do not enter.

LG63 The slave of slaves

Jesus said:
Once upon a time there was a rich man who owned a large fortune.
He said:
I will spend my fortune in a useful way so that I can sow, harvest and plant
and fill my storage shed with the proceeds,
lest it lack anything.
He thought so inside, but he died that night.
He who has ears, let him hear!

one will die,
the other life.

Man, who are you?
You sat down on my couch
and you eat from my table,
as if you were representing someone.
Jesus told her:
I come on behalf of an equal.

I’m your student.
Jesus said:
That is why I say: Whoever is one will be full of light,
but who is divided,
will be full of darkness.

LG60 Towards a spiritual illusion

They saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb on his way to Judea.
He said to his students:
That man there carries a lamb in his arms.
They said to him: He will kill it and eat it.
He told them:
He won’t eat it while it lives,
but only when he killed it
and it became a corpse.
They said: That cannot be otherwise?
He told them:
Are you also looking for a place of rest for yourself,
lest you become a corpse and get eaten.

lest you die,
and seek to see him and cannot see him.

and found life

LG57 Stop the fight against yourself

Jesus said:
The kingdom of the father seems
to a man who had excellent seeds.
His enemy came by night
and sowed weeds among the good seed.
The man did not allow them to pull the weeds.

I fear that if you want to remove the weeds,
you shall also extract the grain.
But on the day of the harvest
the weeds will be clearly visible.
And it will be pulled out and burned.

and whoever has discovered a corpse,
he is not worthy of the world.
