Mark 16:17-18
Luke 8:1-56
1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went through every city and village, preaching, and making known the good news of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him;
2 and also certain women that had been cured of evil spirits and diseases; Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom had gone seven demons,
3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him from their means.
4 And when a great multitude had assembled, and they were coming to him from every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 The sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air ate it up.
6 And some fell upon the rock; and when it had sprung up, it withered, because it had no moisture.
7 And some fell in the midst of thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
8 And other seed fell into good ground, and sprung up, and produced fruit a hundred-fold. When he had said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And the disciples asked him, saying: What does this parable mean?
10 He replied: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that when they see, they may not see, and when they hear, they may not understand.
11 But the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God;
12 those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil and takes the word from their heart, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 Those on the rock are they that, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who, for awhile, believe, and in time of temptation apostatize.
14 That which fell among thorns are those who hear, and so conduct them selves, that they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are those who, in a good and honest heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No one when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a divan, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who come in may see the light.
17 For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be made manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known and brought into view.
18 Take heed, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him.
19 And his mother and his brothers came to him, but were not able to get near him on account of the multitude.
20 And it was told him by some that said: Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 But he answered and said to them: My mother and my brothers are they that hear the word of God and do it.
22 And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he entered a ship with his disciples; and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they set sail.
23 And while they were sailing, he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and were in danger.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying: Master, master, we perish. But he arose and 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 being afraid, they wondered, and said one to another: "Who, then, is this, that he commands even the wind and the water, and they obey him?

32 And there was in that place a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain. And they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.
33 And the demons came out of the man, and went into the swine; and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.
34 And when those who fed them saw what was done, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
35 And they came out to see what had been done; and they came to Jesus, and saw the man out of whom the demons had gone, clothed, and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.
36 And those who had seen it, told them by what means the man who had been possessed with the demons, was saved.
37 And the whole multitude of the neighboring country of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he entered the ship and returned.
38 And the man out of whom the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:
39 Return to your house, and tell what things God has done for you. And he went away, proclaiming through the whole city what Jesus had done for him.

43 And a woman that had been afflicted with an issue of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole living upon physicians, and could be cured by no one,
44 came behind, and touched the fringe of his mantle; and her issue of blood immediately ceased.
45 And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?
46 But Jesus said: Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me.
47 And the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and fell down before him, and told him, before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and that she was immediately restored to health.
48 And he said to her: Take courage, daughter; your faith has saved you; go in peace.
49 While he was yet speaking, there came some one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and said to him: Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.
50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying: Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved.
51 And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to go in but Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the child.
52 And all were weeping and lamenting her. Bat he said: Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.
53 And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, and said: Child, arise.
55 And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he commanded that food should be given her.
56 And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.
1 Thessalonians 1:3-9
3 remembering unceasingly your work, which is the result of faith, your labor, the cause of which is love, and your patience, which springs from your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father:
4 be cause we know, brethren beloved of God, your election.
5 For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in full assurance, as you know what sort of persons we were among you for your sakes.
6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy of the Holy Spirit,
7 so that you were examples to all that believe, in Macedonia and Achaia.
8 For from you, the word of the Lord sounded out, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also your faith in God has gone abroad in every place, so that we have no need to speak any thing.
9 For they themselves declare concerning us what kind of entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,
Revelation 21:1-22:21

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 great voice out of heaven, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them: and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them, their God.
4 And he will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death; neither shall there be any more sorrow, nor crying, nor pain; for the former things have passed away.

9 And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven cups full of the seven last plagues; and he talked with me, saying: Come hither, and I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried me away in spirit to a mountain, great and high, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God: that which gave it light was like a most costly stone, like jasper-stone, brilliant as crystal.
12 It had a wall, great and high; and it had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel;
13 on the east, three gates; on the north, three gates; on the south, three gates; and on the west, three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that talked with me had a measure, a golden reed, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
16 And the city lies square: and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thou sand furlongs: the length, and the breadth, and the hight of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 And the wall of it was built of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every costly stone: the first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, crysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
22 And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God gave it light, and the lamp of it is the Lamb.
24 And the nations shall walk by the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory and their honor into it.
25 And its gates shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
27 And there shall not enter it any thing unclean, or that does what is detestable, or that makes a lie: but those 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, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of the city, and on each side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve kinds of fruit, and yielded its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it: and his servants shall serve him.
4 And they shall see his face, and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no more night; and they have no need of the lamp, nor of the light of the sun: for the Lord God will give them light: and they shall reign from age to age.

8 And I, John, am he that saw and heard these things. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these things.
9 And he said to me: See that you do it not; I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book: worship God.
10 And he said to me: Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; he that is polluted, let him be polluted 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 every one as his work shall be.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they may go through the gates into the city.

19 And if any one take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and from the holy city; which things are written in this book.
20 He that testifies these things, says: Surely, I. come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus.

James 1:1-27
1 JAMES, a servant of God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are in the dispersion, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy, when you fall into manifold trials,
3 knowing that the trial of your faith produces patience.
4 But let patience have its work perfected, that you may be perfect and faultless, wanting in nothing.
5 Now, if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, doubting not: for he that doubts, is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.
8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the brother that is in a lowly condition, glory in his exaltation:
10 but he that is rich, in his humiliation; because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11 For the sun rises with its burning heat, and withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beauty of its form perishes. So, also, shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12 Blessed is the man that endures trial: for, being approved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.
13 Let no one say, when he is tempted, My temptation is from God; for God can not be tempted by evils, and he himself tempts no man.
14 But every one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desire, and is deluded.
15 So, then, desire, when it has conceived, brings forth sin; and sin, when it is matured, brings forth death.
16 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren;
17 every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor slightest trace of turning.
18 Of his own will, he begot us with the word of truth, in order that we might be, as it were, the first-fruits of his creatures.
19 So, then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
20 For the wrath of man produces not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness, and every excess caused by malice, receive with meekness the ingrafted 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 a man that looks at his natural face in a mirror:
24 for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what sort of person he is.
25 But he that looks intently into the perfect law of liberty, and remains constant, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any one among you seems to be 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 fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
