The Decalogue and the Old Testament Commandments

In EMV 120, Jesus preaches on the Commandment: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me". He talks about the presence of God, who is with man all the time, encouraging him to do good deeds all the time; this also discourages his children from doing evil. Then Jesus speaks of the Lord's holy jealousy, who wants us for himself, for an eternity of delight, in his endless Heaven. Finally, he speaks of idolatry, for we all have secret altars in our hearts; then the Savior emphasizes the mercy of the Most High, and invites us to act well, to make of our hearts a Heaven that welcomes God.

When the preaching is over, Jesus performs miracles on sick people. Then he sends the Twelve to baptize, while Judas and Simon give alms.
