21 Jesus, whom are your disciples like?"
They are like children who have settled in a field which is not theirs.

23 I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they shall stand as a single one.
24 His disciples said to him:
Show us the place where you are, since it is necessary for us to seek it.
Whoever has ears, let him hear. There is light within a man of light, and he lights up the whole world. If he does not shine, he is darkness.
