Mark 13:34 Cross References - Goodspeed

³⁴ just as a man when he leaves home to go on a journey, and puts his slaves in charge, each with his duties, gives orders to the watchman to keep watch.

¹⁹ I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden, and whatever you permit on earth will be held in heaven to be permitted."

⁴⁵ "Who then will be the faithful, thoughtful slave whom his master put in charge of his household, to give the members of it their supplies at the proper time? ⁴⁶ Blessed is that slave if his master when he returns finds him doing it. ⁴⁷ I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his property.

¹⁴ "For it is just like a man who was going on a journey, and called in his slaves, and put his property in their hands. ¹⁵ He gave one five thousand dollars, and another two thousand, and another one thousand; to each according to his ability. Then he went away. ¹⁶ The man who had received the five thousand dollars immediately went into business with the money, and made five thousand more. ¹⁷ In the same way the man who had received the two thousand made two thousand more. ¹⁸ But the man who had received the one thousand went away and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. ¹⁹ Long afterward, their master came back and settled accounts with them. ²⁰ And the man who had received the five thousand dollars came up bringing him five thousand more, and said, 'Sir, you put five thousand dollars in my hands; here I have made five thousand more.' ²¹ His master said to him, 'Well done, my excellent, faithful slave! you have been faithful about a small amount; I will put a large one into your hands. Come, share your master's enjoyment!' ²² And the man who had received the two thousand came up and said, 'Sir, you put two thousand dollars into my hands; here I have made two thousand more.' ²³ His master said to him, 'Well done, my excellent, faithful slave! you have been faithful about a small amount; I will put a large one into your hands. Come! share your master's enjoyment.' ²⁴ And the man who had received the one thousand came up and said, 'Sir, I knew you were a hard man, who reaped where you had not sown, and gathered where you had not threshed, ²⁵ and I was frightened, and I went and hid your thousand dollars in the ground. Here is your money!' ²⁶ His master answered, 'You wicked, idle slave! You knew that I reaped where I had not sown and gathered where I had not threshed? ²⁷ Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and then when I came back I would have gotten my property with interest. ²⁸ So take the thousand dollars away from him, and give it to the man who has the ten thousand, ²⁹ for the man who has will have more given him, and will be plentifully supplied, and from the man who has nothing even what he has will be taken away. ³⁰ And put the good-for-nothing slave out into the darkness outside, to weep and grind his teeth there.'

³⁶ like men waiting for their master to come home from a wedding, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once. ³⁷ Blessed are the slaves whom their master will find on the watch when he comes.

¹² So he said, "A nobleman once went to a distant country to secure his appointment to a kingdom and then return. ¹³ And he called in ten of his slaves and gave them each twenty dollars and told them to trade with it while he was gone. ¹⁴ But his countrymen hated him, and they sent a delegation after him to say, 'We do not want this man made king over us.' ¹⁵ And when he had secured the appointment and returned, he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he could find out how much they had made. ¹⁶ The first one came in and said, 'Your twenty dollars has made two hundred, sir!' ¹⁷ And he said to him, 'Well done, my excellent slave! You have proved trustworthy about a very small amount, you shall be governor of ten towns.'

⁴ For just as there are many parts united in our human bodies, and the parts do not all have the same function, ⁵ so, many as we are, we form one body through union with Christ, and we are individually parts of one another. ⁶ We have gifts that differ with the favor that God has shown us, whether it is that of preaching, differing with the measure of our faith, ⁷ or of practical service, differing in the field of service, or the teacher who exercises his gift in teaching, ⁸ the speaker, in his exhortation, the giver of charity, with generosity, the office-holder, with devotion, the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

⁶ just as you pay your taxes; they are God's ministers, devoting themselves to this service.

⁵ What is Apollos? Or what is Paul? Just servants through whom you came to have faith, as the Lord gave each of us opportunity. ⁶ I did the planting, Apollos the watering, but it was God who made the plants grow. ⁷ So neither the planter nor the waterer counts for anything, but only God who makes the plants grow. ⁸ The planter and the waterer are all one, though each of us will be paid for his own work. ⁹ For we are fellow-laborers for God, and you are God's farm, God's building. ¹⁰ Like an expert builder, I laid a foundation, as God commissioned me to do, and now someone else is building upon it. But let everyone be careful how he does so.

⁴ Endowments vary, but the Spirit is the same, ⁵ and forms of service vary, but it is the same Lord who is served, ⁶ and activities vary, but God who produces them all in us all is the same. ⁷ Each one is given his spiritual illumination for the common good. ⁸ One man receives through the Spirit the power to speak wisely, another, by the same Spirit, receives the power to express knowledge, ⁹ another, from his union with the same Spirit receives faith, another, by one and the same Spirit, the ability to cure the sick, ¹⁰ another, the working of wonders, another, inspiration in preaching, another, the power of distinguishing the true Spirit from false ones, another, various ecstatic utterances, and another, the ability to explain them. ¹¹ These are all produced by one and the same Spirit, and apportioned to each of us just as the Spirit chooses. ¹² For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, many as they are, form one body, so it is with Christ. ¹³ For we have all—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free men—been baptized in one spirit to form one body, and we have all been saturated with one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body does not consist of one part but of many. ¹⁵ If the foot says, "As I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body. ¹⁶ And if the ear says, "As I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body. ¹⁷ If all the body were eye, how would we hear? If it were all ear, how could we have a sense of smell? ¹⁸ As it is, God has arranged the parts, every one of them in the body as he wished them to be. ¹⁹ If they were all one part, where would the body be? ²⁰ As it is, there are many parts, but one body. ²¹ The eye cannot say to the hand, "I do not need you," or the head to the feet, "I do not need you." ²² On the contrary, the parts of the body that are considered most delicate are indispensable, ²³ and the parts of it that we think common, we dress with especial care, and our unpresentable parts receive especial attention ²⁴ which our presentable parts do not need. God has so adjusted the body and given such especial distinction to its inferior parts ²⁵ that there is no clash in the body, but its parts all alike care for one another. ²⁶ If one part suffers, all the parts share its sufferings. If a part has honor done it, all the parts enjoy it too. ²⁷ Now you are Christ's body, and individually parts of it. ²⁸ And God has placed people in the church, first as apostles, second as inspired preachers, third as teachers, then wonder-workers; then come ability to cure the sick, helpfulness, administration, ecstatic speaking. ²⁹ Is everyone an apostle? Is everyone an inspired preacher? Is everyone a teacher? Is everyone a wonder-worker? ³⁰ Is everyone able to cure the sick? Can everyone speak ecstatically? Can everyone explain what it means? ³¹ But you must cultivate the higher endowments.

⁵⁸ So my dear brothers, be firm and unmoved, and always devote yourselves to the Lord's work, for you know that through the Lord your labor is not thrown away.

²⁴ for you know that it is from him that you are to receive that inheritance which is to be your reward. Think of Christ as the master you are working for.

¹ You who are masters must treat your slaves justly and fairly, and remember that you have a Master too, in heaven.

⁷ "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: " 'He who is holy and true, who carries the key of David, who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open, speaks thus:
