Mark 16:17-18
Luke 8:1-56
1 AND it came to pass afterward, that he journeyed through every city and village, preaching, and publishing the good news of the kingdom of God; and with him the twelve,
2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called the Magdalene, from whom had gone out seven demons,
3 and Joanna wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to them of their substance.
4 And a great multitude coming together, of those also who came to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 The sower went forth to sow his seed. And as he sowed, one fell by the way-side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And another fell upon the rock; and springing up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 And another fell among the thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And another fell into the good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundredfold. And saying these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him, what this parable was.
10 And he said: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way-side are they that hear; after that comes the Devil, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, with joy receive the word; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among the thorns, these are they who have heard, and going forth are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that in the good ground, these are they who, in an honest and good heart, having heard, hold fast the word, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No one, having lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a lamp-stand, that they who enter in may behold the light.
17 For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest, nor hidden, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear. For whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even what he seems to have shall be taken from him.
19 And his mother and his brothers came to him; and they could not come near him on account of the multitude.
20 And it was told him, saying: Thy mother and thy brothers are standing without, desiring to see thee.
21 And he answering, said to them: My mother and my brothers are these, who hear and do the word of God.
22 And it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples. And he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 And as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they began to be filled, and were in jeopardy.
24 And coming to him, they awoke him, saying: Master, Master, we perish. And he, rising, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said to them: Where is your faith? And they, fearing, wondered; saying one to another: Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!
26 And they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he had gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons a long time, and wore no clothing, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs.
28 And seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.
29 For he commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For of a long time it had seized him, and he was bound, being secured with chains and fetters; and bursting the bands, he was driven by the demon into the deserts.
30 And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? And he said, Legion; because many demons had entered into him.
31 And he besought him that he would not command them to go away into the abyss.
32 And there was a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain; and they besought him that he would permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
33 And going out of the man, the demons entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were choked.
34 And seeing what was done the herdsmen fled, and reported it in the city and in the country,
35 And they went out to see what was done. And they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 They also who saw it reported to them how he that was possessed by demons was healed.
37 And the whole multitude of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he, entering into the ship, returned.
38 And the man, out of whom the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying:
39 Return into thy house, and relate how great things God did for thee. And he departed, and published through the whole city how great things Jesus did for him.
40 And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, that the multitude received him; for they were all waiting for him.
41 And, behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him that he would come into his house;
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went the multitudes thronged him.
43 And a woman having a flow of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any one,
44 came up behind, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased.
45 And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou: Who is it that touched me?
46 And Jesus said: Some one touched me; for I perceived that power has gone out from me.
47 And the woman, seeing that she was not concealed, came trembling, and falling down before him, declared before all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith has made thee whole; go in peace.
49 While he was yet speaking, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him: Fear not; only believe, and she shall be restored.
51 And entering into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him, save Peter and James and John, and the father of the maiden, and the mother.
52 And all were weeping and bewailing her. And he said: Weep not; she is not dead, but is sleeping.
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 And he, taking hold of her by the hand, called, saying: Maiden, arise.
55 And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose; and he commanded that food should be given her.
56 And her parents were astonished. But he charged them to tell no one what was done.
1 Thessalonians 1:3-9
3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before God and our Father;
4 knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election;
5 because our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men were we among you, for your sake.
6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;
7 so that ye became an example to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
8 For from you has sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth; so that we have no need to speak anything.
9 For they themselves report concerning us, what manner of entrance we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,
Revelation 21:1-22:21
1 AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and GOD-WITH-THEM himself will he their God.
4 And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, nor shall mourning, nor crying, nor pain be any more; because the former things are passed away.
5 And he who sat upon the throne said: Behold, I make all things new. And he says: Write; because these words are faithful and true.
6 And he said to me: It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts, of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcomes shall inherit these things; and I will be to him a God, and he shall be to me a son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and defiled with abominations, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
9 And there came one from among the seven angels, who have the seven cups full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying: Come hither; I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God; her luminary like to a most precious stone, as it were to a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel;
13 on the east three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundation-stones, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he who talked with me had a golden reed for a measure, that he might measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 And the city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length, and the breadth, and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is that of an angel.
18 And the structure of its wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like to pure glass.
19 The foundation-stones of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation-stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each several gate was of one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass.
22 And I saw in it no temple; for the Lord God the Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
23 And the city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine on it; for the glory of God lightened it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations will walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
25 And its gates will not be shut by day; for there will be no night there;
26 and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
27 And there shall not enter into it any thing unclean, or that works abomination or falsehood; but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 22:1-21
1 AND he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of its street, and on either side of the river, was a tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3 And there will be no more curse. And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it; and his servants will serve him,
4 and will see his face, and his name will be upon their foreheads.
5 And there will be no night there; and they will have no need of a lamp, nor of the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light; and they will reign forever and ever.
6 And he said to me: These sayings are faithful and true; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show to his servants what things must shortly come to pass.
7 Behold, I come quickly. Happy is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I, John, am he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel, who showed me these things.
9 And he says to me: See thou do it not. I am a fellow-servant of thee and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the sayings of this book; worship God.
10 And he says to me: Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to each one according as his work is.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
14 Happy are they who wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.
15 without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loves and makes a lie.
16 I, Jesus, sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say: Come. And let him that hears say: Come. And let him that thirsts, come; let him that will, take the water of life freely.
18 I testify to every one that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if any one shall add to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
19 and if any one shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written of in this book.
20 He who testifies these things, says: Yea, I come quickly. Amen; come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with the saints.

James 1:17
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom there is no variableness, or shadow of turning.
John 10:10
10 The thief comes not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I came that they may have life, and that they may have it abundantly.
James 1:1-27
1 JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;
3 knowing that the proving of your faith works patience.
4 But let patience have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
5 But if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally, and upbraids not, and it will be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering; for he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
8 a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted;
10 but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.
11 For the sun rose with the burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell off, and the grace of its fashion perished; so also will the rich man fade away in his ways.
12 Happy is the man that endures temptation; because, when he is approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to those who love him.
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God; for God can not be tempted with evil, and himself tempts no one.
14 But each one is tempted, when by his own lust he is drawn away and enticed.
15 Then lust, having conceived, brings forth sin; and sin, when completed, brings forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom there is no variableness, or shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.
19 So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
20 for the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore, putting off all filthiness and excess of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23 For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like to a man beholding his natural face in a mirror.
24 For he beheld himself, and has gone away; and immediately he forgot what manner of man he was.
25 But he who looked into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and remained thereby, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work, this man shall be happy in his doing.
26 If any one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27 Religion, pure and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: To visit the orphans and widows in their affliction; to keep himself unspotted from the world.
