Mark 12:1-12

1And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country.
2And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3Who having laid hands on him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and used him reproachfully.
5And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed.
6Therefore having yet one son, most dear to him; he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son.
7But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir; come let us kill him; and the inheritance shall be ours.
8And laying hold on him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen; and will give the vineyard to others.
10And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
11By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes.
12And they sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they went their way.
Zephaniah 3:14-18

14Give praise, O daughter of Sion: shout, O Israel: be glad, and rejoice with all thy heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15The Lord hath taken away thy judgment, he hath turned away thy enemies: the king of Israel the Lord is in the midst of thee, thou shalt fear evil no more.
16In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Fear not: to Sion: Let not thy hands be weakened.
17The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty, he will save: he will rejoice over thee with gladness, he will be silent in his love, he will be joyful over thee in praise.
18The triflers that were departed from the law, I will gather together, because they were of thee: that thou mayest no more suffer reproach for them.
Romans 12:9-16

12Rejoicing in hope. Patient in tribulation. Instant in prayer.

39And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
40And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.
41And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
45And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
46And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
50And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
51He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
52He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
55As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
56And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.

1Then Tobias sighed, and began to pray with tears,
2Saying: Thou art just, O Lord, and all thy judgments are just, and all thy ways mercy, and truth, and judgment:
3And now, O Lord, think of me, and take not revenge of my sins, neither remember my offenses, nor those of my parents.
4For we have not obeyed thy commandments, therefore are we delivered to spoil and to captivity, and death, and are made a fable, and a reproach to all nations, amongst which thou hast scattered us.
5And now, O Lord, great are thy judgments, because we have not done according to thy precepts, and have not walked sincerely before thee:
6And now, O Lord, do with me according to thy will, and command my spirit to be received in peace: for it is better for me to die, than to live.
7Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father’s servant maids,
8Because she had been given to seven husbands, and a devil named Asmodeus had killed them, at their first going in unto her.
9So when she reproved the maid for her fault, she answered her, saying: May we never see son, or daughter of thee upon the earth, thou murderer of thy husbands.
10Wilt thou kill me also, as thou hast already killed seven husbands? At these words she went into an upper chamber of her house: and for three days and three nights did neither eat nor drink:
11But continuing in prayer with tears besought God, that he would deliver her from this reproach.
Mark 12:18-27

18And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying:
19Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if any man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
20Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no issue.
21And the second took her, and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner.
22And the seven all took her in like manner; and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died.
23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven.
26And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.

71And they went in to Raguel, and Raguel received them with joy.

28And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all.
29And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.
30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
31And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him.
33And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.
34And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

7Dearly beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. And every one that loveth, is born of God, and knoweth God.
8He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity.
9By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him.
10In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
11My dearest, if God hath so loved us; we also ought to love one another.
12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his charity is perfected in us.
13In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit.
14And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.
16And we have known, and have believed the charity, which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity, abideth in God, and God in him.

25At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones.
26Yea, Father; for so hath it seemed good in thy sight.
27All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him.
28Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you.
29Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.

41And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch,
42And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
43And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not.
44And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day’s journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.
45And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.
46And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.
47And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.
48And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father’s business?
50And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.
51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.

3He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. We shall know, and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light, and he will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth.
4What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do to thee, O Juda? your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth away in the morning.
5For this reason have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments shall go forth as the light.
6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts.

18Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.
19And he was not weak in faith; neither did he consider his own body now dead, whereas he was almost an hundred years old, nor the dead womb of Sara.
20In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:
21Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
22And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.
23Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,
24But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,
25Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.

10And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?

4For we have not obeyed thy commandments, therefore are we delivered to spoil and to captivity, and death, and are made a fable, and a reproach to all nations, amongst which thou hast scattered us.
5And now, O Lord, great are thy judgments, because we have not done according to thy precepts, and have not walked sincerely before thee:
6And now, O Lord, do with me according to thy will, and command my spirit to be received in peace: for it is better for me to die, than to live.
7Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father’s servant maids,
8Because she had been given to seven husbands, and a devil named Asmodeus had killed them, at their first going in unto her.
9So when she reproved the maid for her fault, she answered her, saying: May we never see son, or daughter of thee upon the earth, thou murderer of thy husbands.
10Wilt thou kill me also, as thou hast already killed seven husbands? At these words she went into an upper chamber of her house: and for three days and three nights did neither eat nor drink:
11But continuing in prayer with tears besought God, that he would deliver her from this reproach.

7Dearly beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. And every one that loveth, is born of God, and knoweth God.
8He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity.
9By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him.
10In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
11My dearest, if God hath so loved us; we also ought to love one another.
12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his charity is perfected in us.
13In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit.
14And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.
16And we have known, and have believed the charity, which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity, abideth in God, and God in him.

25At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones.
26Yea, Father; for so hath it seemed good in thy sight.
27All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him.
28Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you.
29Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
30For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.

3He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. We shall know, and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light, and he will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth.
4What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do to thee, O Juda? your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth away in the morning.
5For this reason have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments shall go forth as the light.
6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts.
Romans 4:18-25

18Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.
19And he was not weak in faith; neither did he consider his own body now dead, whereas he was almost an hundred years old, nor the dead womb of Sara.
20In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:
21Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
22And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.
23Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,
24But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,
25Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.

9And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
10And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
12But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.
13Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.

    1And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country.
    2And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
    3Who having laid hands on him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
    4And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and used him reproachfully.
    5And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed.
    6Therefore having yet one son, most dear to him; he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son.
    7But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir; come let us kill him; and the inheritance shall be ours.
    8And laying hold on him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
    9What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen; and will give the vineyard to others.
    10And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:

    39And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
    40And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.
    41And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
    42And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
    43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
    44For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
    45And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
    46And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
    47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

    49Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
    50And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.

    52He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
    53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
    54He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
    55As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

    18And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying:
    19Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if any man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
    20Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no issue.
    21And the second took her, and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner.
    22And the seven all took her in like manner; and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died.
    23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
    24And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
    25For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven.
    26And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
    27He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.

    29And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.
    30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
    31And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
    32And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him.
    33And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.
