 14 And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, what is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou   thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?

15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:

​

16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.

​

17 And Moses' father in law said unto him, the thing that thou doest is not good.

18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.

19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:

20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so, shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.

23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.

24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law and did all that he had said.

25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

 4 But  Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin,  and in his own house.                                                                                             5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.     

 6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

  7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;                                                                                                     8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:                                                                                                                                                                                           St. Mark 6:4-8
