    commit adultery;'But I say unto you, 'That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after

    her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.'And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, andcast it from thee; for

    it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thywhole body should becastinto hell.

    And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, andcast it fromthee;for itis profitable for thee that one o f thy members should perish, and not that thywhole body should becast into hell. Mat. 5: 25 - 30) . Praise be to Thee,

TheHoly Gospel according to Mark.JV- Glory be to Thee, OLord.At that time: Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the Temple; andwhen He had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide wascome. He went out unto Bethany with the Twelve.And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, He was Hungry;And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves. He came, if haply He might

    find any thing thereon; and when He came to it. He found nothing but leaves; forthe time of figs was not yet.And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter

    for ever. And His disciples heard it.And they come to Jerusalem; and Jesus went into the Temple, and beganto cast out them that sold and bought in the Temple, and overthrew the tables ofthe moneychangers, and these tsof them that sold doves;And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the

    Temple. And He taught. Saying unto them, Is it not written, 'My House shall becalled of all nations the House of Prayer?' But ye have made it a den of thieves.And the Scribes and Chief Priests heard it, and sought how they might destroyHim;for they feared Him, because all the people was astonished at His doctrine.

    Andwhen even was come. He went out of the City.And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up

    from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto Him, Master,behold,the fig tree whichThoucursedst is withered away.

    And Jesus answering saith unto them, HaveFaithin God.For verily I say unto you, 'That whosoever shall say unto this mountain,

    Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in hisheart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; heshall have whatsoever he saith.' Mark. 11: 11 - 23) F . Praise be to Thee,

    Christ.
