The Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue, are a set of biblical principles relating to ethics and worship, which play a fundamental role in Judaism and Christianity. The commandments include instructions to worship only God, to honour one's parents, and to keep the sabbath, as well as prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, theft, dishonesty, and coveting. Different religious groups follow
different traditions for interpreting and numbering them.
The Ten Commandments are listed twice in
the Hebrew Bible, first at Exodus 20:1–17, and then at Deuteronomy 5:6–21. Both versions state that God inscribed them on two stone tablets, which he gave to Moses on Mount Sinai. Modern scholarship has found likely
influences in Hittite and Mesopotamian laws and treaties, but is divided over exactly when the Ten
Commandments were written and who wrote them
The 10
Commandments List, Short Form
1. You
shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You
shall not make idols.
3. You
shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor
your father and your mother.
6. You
shall not murder.
7. You
shall not commit adultery.
8. You
shall not steal.
9. You
shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10.
You shall not covet.

"I am the LORD thy God" is the opening phrase of the Ten Commandments, which are widely understood as moral
imperatives by ancient legal historians and Jewish and Christian biblical
scholars.
I am Yahweh your God, who brought you up
out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no
other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any
image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself
down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the
fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to
thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
— Exodus 20:2-6 (WEB)

The
road not taken
"The
Road Not Taken" is a poem by Robert Frost, published in 1916 as the first poem in the
collection Mountain
Interval.
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in
a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. |

Aesop was an Ancient
Greek fabulist or story teller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his existence remains
uncertain and no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were
gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling
tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales are characterized by
animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have
human characteristics.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son (also known as the Lost Son, Running Son, Loving Father, or Lovesick Father) is one of the parables of Jesus which appears in Luke 15:11-32. Jesus Christ shares it with his
disciples, the Pharisees and others.
In the story, a father has two sons. The
younger son asks for his inheritance and after wasting his fortune (the word
"prodigal" means "wastefully
extravagant"), becomes destitute. He returns home with the intention of
begging his father to be made one of his hired servants, expecting his
relationship with his father is likely severed. The father welcomes him back
and celebrates his return. The older son refuses to participate. The father
reminds the older son that one day he will inherit everything. But, they
should still celebrate the return of the younger son because he was lost and
is now found.

The Parables of Jesus can be found in all the canonical
gospels, and in
some of the non-canonical gospels, but are located mainly within the three synoptic gospels. They represent a key
part of the teachings
of Jesus, forming approximately one third of his recorded
teachings. Christians place high emphasis on these parables; since they are the
purported words of Jesus, they are believed to be what the Father has taught, indicated by John 8:28 and 14:10.
