Seeing They Do Not See, And Hearing They Do Not Understand: This strange statement actually appears in all four gospels and Acts of the Apostles and is a prophecy about Christ.

Leaving Everything for Christ: The call of St. Matthew seems odd to us. He was doing his job and suddenly left everything to follow Christ. Other disciples also responded suddenly and inexplicably.
