From the holy Gospel according to Mark
!Mark 16:15-18
Abban az időben így szolt Jézus tanitványaihoz: Menjetek el az egész világra, és hirdessétek az evangéliumot minden teremtménynek. És így tovább.

Homily by Pope St Gregory (the Great.) 
!29th on the Gospels.
By the words every creature we may understand every tribe of the Gentiles. Of aforetime it had been said, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, (Matth. x. 5,) but now, Preach the Gospel to every creature, that, since the Jews had proudly rejected the preaching of the Apostles, that might become our gain which was the seal of their condemnation. But when the Eternal Truth sendeth forth His disciples to preach, what doth He but scatter seed over the field of the world He scattered abroad a few grains for seed, that He may afterward reap an abundant harvest in our faith.
