Marami sa mga Judio ang pumunta kina Marta at Maria upang makiramay sa kanila dahil sa pagyao ng kanilang kapatid. Kaya pagkarinig ni Marta na dumarating si Jesus, sinalubong niya ito. Si Maria naman ay nakaupo sa bahay. At sinabi ni Marta kay Jesus: “Panginoon, kung naririto ka, hindi sana namatay ang kapatid ko. Subalit kahit na ngayon, alam kong anuman ang hilingin mo sa Diyos, ibibigay ito sa iyo ng Diyos.” Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus: “Babangon ang kapatid mo.” Sumagot sa kanya si Marta: “Alam ko na babangon siya sa muling pagkabuhay sa huling araw.” Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus: “Ako ang muling pagkabuhay (at ang buhay). Mabubuhay ang naniniwala sa akin kahit na siya ay mamatay. Hinding-hindi mamamatay ang bawat nabubuhay sa paniniwala sa akin. Pinaniniwalaan mob a ito?” Sinabi niya sa kanya: “Opo, Panginoon. Naniniwala nga ako na ikaw ang Kristo, ang Anak ng Diyos na dumarating sa mundo.”

O God, Who has given us In Your humble Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, The model of all virtue And perfection, Grant to us The virtue of humility. We think so little of You Because we are So full of ourselves. We cannot love You more Until humility shows us Our own nothingness And makes us rejoice In our complete Dependence upon You. You have given to the world a glorious apostle of humility: St. Martin de Porres. Guide us by his example And strengthen Us through his intercession In our efforts To conform our hearts To the humble Heart Of Your crucified Son. May the glory of sainthood Which you have Deigned to bestow Upon Brother Martin Draw the world closer And closer to You. Renew, O Lord, in these days When pride and forgetfulness Of You are so widespread, The wonders which You performed Through Your humble servant During his lifetime. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be (3 times each.)

Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad: “Mapapalad ang inyong mga mata na nakakakita at ang inyong mga tainga na nakakarinig. “Sinasabi ko nga sa inyo na maraming propeta at mabubuting tao ang may gustong Makita ang nakikita ninyo ngayon pero hindi nila nakita, at marinig ang inyong naririnig pero hindi nila narinig.

Lumapit kay Jesus ang ina ni Jaime at Juan kasama ang dalawa niyang anak, at lumuhod sa harap niya para makiusap. Tinanong siya ni Jesus: “Ano ang ibig mo?” At sumagot siya: “Narito ang dalawa kong anak. Iutos mong maupo ang isa sa iyong kanan at ang isa naman sa iyong kaliwa sa iyong Kaharian.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa magkapatid: “Hindi n’yo nalalaman ang inyong hinihingi. Maiinom n’yo ba ang kalis na iinumin ko?” Sumagot sila: “Kaya namin.” Sumagot si Jesus: “Totoong iinom din kayo sa aking kalis ngunit wala sa akin ang pagpapaupo sa aking kanan o kaliwa. Para iyon sa mga hinirang ng Ama.” Nang marinig ito ng sampu, nagalilt sila sa magkapatid. Kaya tinawag sila ni Jesus at sinabi: “Alam n’yo na sinusupil ng mga naghahari ang kanilang mga bansa at inaapi ng mga nasa kapangyarihan. Hindi naman ganito sa inyo: ang may gustong maging sa dakila, siya ang maging lingkod ninyo; ang may gustong mauna sa inyo, siya ang maging alipin ninyo. Gayundin naman, dumating ang Anak ng Tao hindi para pa...

Umalis sa bahay si Jesus at naupo sa may dalampasigan. Ngunit maraming tao ang nagtipon sa paligid niya kaya sumakay siya at naupo sa bangka samantalang nakatayo naman sa pampang ang mga tao. At marami siyang ipinahayag sa kanila sa tulong ng mga talinhaga. At sinabi ni Jesus: “Lumabas na ang maghahasik para maghasik. Sa kanyang paghahasik, may ilang butong nahulog sa tabi ng daan. Dumating ang mga ibon at kinain ang mga iyon. Nahulog naman ang ibang buto sa batuhan at mababaw ang lupa roon. Madaling tumubo ang mga buto dahil hindi malalim ang lupa. Ngunit pagsikat ng araw, nasunog ito sa init at sapagkat walang ugat, natuyo ito. Nahulog ang iba pang buto sa mga tinikan. At nang lumago ang mga tinik, sinikil ng mga ito ang halaman. Nahulog naman ang iba sa matabang lupa at namunga: nagbunga ng sandaan ang iba, animnapu naman ang sa iba, at tatlumpu ang iba pa. Makinig ang may tenga!”
