Gospel of John, Chapter 5, verses 31-47
Jesus continues speaking with the leaders of the Jewish Community in Jerusalem and, effectively, predates the quote centuries later that will be placed in the mouth of St. Francis: "Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words." Jesus underscores for the people of His time and the people of our time the importance of our witness.
