6 His disciples asked him and said to him, "Do you want us to fast? How should we pray? Should we give alms? What diet should we observe?"
Jesus said, "Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, because all things are revealed before heaven. After all, there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and there is nothing covered up that will not be uncovered."
7 Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion that the human will eat, so that the lion becomes human. Cursed is the human that the lion will eat, and the lion will become human."
8 And he said, "The man is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of little fish. Among them the wise fisherman discovered a fine big fish. So the fisherman threw all the little fish back into the sea, and with no hesitation kept the big fish. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!"
