thief But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the {thief} would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. thief Are ye come out as against a {thief} with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. thief Are ye come out, as against a {thief}, with swords and [with] staves to take me? thief Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no {thief} approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. thief And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the {thief} would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. thief Be ye come out, as against a {thief}, with swords and staves? thief Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a {thief} and a robber. thief The {thief} cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly. thief Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a {thief}, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. ~~~~~~
