And God came to Balaam by night, and said to him, If these men have come to call you, rise and follow them; nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, this shall you do.

But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel gave no heed to Me.

So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts; they will go on in their own ways.

I also will choose their mockeries, and will recompense their sins upon them; because I called them, and they did not hearken to Me; I spoke, and they heard not; and they did evil before Me, and chose the things in which I did not delight.

Where is this your king? Let him even save you in all your cities. Let him judge you, of whom you said, Give me a king and a prince.

And I gave you a king in My anger, and kept [him] back in My wrath.

And you have this day rejected God, who is Himself your Deliverer out of all your evils and afflictions. And you said, No, but you shall set a king over us: and now stand before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your families.

[Is it] not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the Lord, and He shall send thunder and rain. And know and see, that your wickedness is great which you have done before the Lord, having asked for yourselves a king.

And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, and let us not die; for we have added to all our sins this iniquity, in asking for us a king.

And Moses said, [This shall be] when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread in the morning to the full, because the Lord has heard your murmuring, which you murmur against us: and what are we? For your murmuring is not against us, but against God.

A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

It is enough for a disciple that he become like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call his household members!

"He that receives you receives Me, and he that receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me."

Nevertheless bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay [them] before me.'"

Most assuredly I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than he who sent him.

Remember the word which I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
