The priest told his congregation that the following week, he would preach on lying. He asked them to read the 17th chapter of Gospel of St. Mark. the next sunday, he asked from the pulpit how many had done the reading he had assigned. many hands went up. “I see”, the priest said with a chuckle. “You are the very people I wish to preach to. There is no 17th chapter in saint Mark’s Gospel”.
