The Gospel According to Jesus Quotes

“The voice was filled with love, but also with sorrow and pity, and not so much fear of death as resistance to it, as if it were an enemy to be expelled or overcome.”
― Stephen Mitchell, The Gospel According to Jesus: A New Translation and Guide to His Essential Teachings for Believers and Unbelievers – The Dazzling Presentation of His Life and Teachings

“You delight in the power of the horse and take pleasure in the legs of an athlete.”
― Stephen Mitchell, The Gospel According to Jesus: A New Translation and Guide to His Essential Teachings for Believers and Unbelievers – The Dazzling Presentation of His Life and Teachings

“Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious about what you will eat or what you will wear. Isn’t your life more than its food, and your body more than its clothing? Look at the birds of the sky: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, yet God feeds them. Which of you by thinking can add a day to his life? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin. And yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was robed like one of these. Therefore, if God so clothes the grass, which grows in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he all the more clothe you? So don’t worry about these things and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For that is what the Gentiles seek; and your Father knows that you need these things. But first seek the kingdom of God; and these things will be given to you as well.”
