33 (A)Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will (B)keep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 (C)There will be two women (D)grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”[a] 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, (E)“Where the corpse[b] is, there the vultures[c] will gather.”

The Parable of the Persistent Widow

18 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought (F)always to pray and not (G)lose heart.
