In my youth I was told that in a certain city every one lived according to the Scriptures. he did not want that and wanted to find the city and the blessing of same so hard he traveled forty days. I arrive in a city where people had only one eye and one hand. These were also people who had asumbrados by his two hands and two eyes. The I ask if it was a holy city, where the man lived according to the scriptures and they replied that if it was a city. He also asked them for their right eyes and right hands to the people and all the people said, simply enter your and see. And they took him to the temple was left to the middle of the city and temple were a lot of hands and eyes. All marchitados.el cueldad wonder who did that, but the people did read a script that was on an altar and said: "If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee;. Because it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off and cast it from thee: it is better for you that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell ".Then weeping and realized that no one in that city did not have two eyes and hands. And they answered me saying, "No, not one. There is none whole save such as are yet too young to read the Scripture and to understand its commandment."And when we had come out of the temple, I straightway left that Blessed City; for I was not too young, and I could read the scripture.
