Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is in ruins. Listen to the roaring of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.

…whose buyers slaughter them without remorse. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no compassion on them.

For I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land, declares the LORD, but behold, I will cause each man to fall into the hands of his neighbor and his king, who will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from their hands.”

And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.

For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will neither care for the lost, nor seek the young, nor heal the broken, nor sustain the healthy, but he will devour the flesh of the choice sheep and tear off their hooves.

“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. And I will be a swift witness against sorcerers and adulterers and perjurers, against oppressors of the widowed and fatherless, and against those who defraud laborers of their wages and deny justice to the foreigner but do not fear Me,” says the LORD of Hosts.

And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. Otherwise, I will come and strike the land with a curse.”

She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the Child was.

On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.

And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.

Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

“If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them,

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.

And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.

Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

But beware of men, for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

Coming to His hometown, He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked.

And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.

When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”

But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”

They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.

But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?

Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?

“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil.

But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps.

Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.

But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.

And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
