Genesis 1:26-31

New International Version

²⁶Then God said, “Let us^(A) make mankind^(B) in our image,^(C) in our likeness,^(D) so that they may rule^(E) over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky,^(F) over the livestock and all the wild animals,^[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

²⁷So God created^(G) mankind^(H) in his own image,^(I)
in the image of God^(J) he created them;
male and female^(K) he created them.^(L)

²⁸God blessed them and said to them,^(M) “Be fruitful and increase in number;^(N) fill the earth^(O) and subdue it. Rule over^(P) the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.^(Q)”

²⁹Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.^(R) ³⁰And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life^(S) in it—I give every green plant for food.^(T)” And it was so.

³¹God saw all that he had made,^(U) and it was very good.^(V) And there was evening, and there was morning^(W)—the sixth day.

Jesus’ Sorrow for Jerusalem^(A)^(B)

³¹At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod^(C) wants to kill you.”

³²He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’^(D) ³³In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet^(E) can die outside Jerusalem!

³⁴“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,^(F) and you were not willing. ³⁵Look, your house is left to you desolate.^(G) I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’^[a]”^(H)
