Israel and Judah Are Unrepentant

6 “Come, let us ^(C)return to the Lord;
    for ^(D)he has torn us, that he may heal us;
    he has struck us down, and ^(E)he will bind us up.
²After two days ^(F)he will revive us;
    on the third day he will raise us up,
    that we may live before him.
³^(G)Let us know; ^(H)let us press on to know the Lord;
    ^(I)his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us ^(J)as the showers,
    ^(K)as the spring rains that water the earth.”

⁴What shall I do with you, ^(L)O ^(M)Ephraim?
    What shall I do with you, O ^(N)Judah?
Your love is ^(O)like a morning cloud,
    ^(P)like the dew that goes early away.
⁵Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets;
    I have slain them ^(Q)by the words of my mouth,
    and my judgment goes forth as the light.
⁶For ^(R)I desire steadfast love^[a] and not sacrifice,
    ^(S)the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Jesus Calls Matthew

⁹^(A)As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called ^(B)Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.

¹⁰And as Jesus^[a] reclined at table in the house, behold, many ^(C)tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. ¹¹And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, ^(D)“Why does your teacher eat with ^(E)tax collectors and sinners?” ¹²But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. ¹³Go and learn ^(F)what this means: ^(G)‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For ^(H)I came not to call the righteous, ^(I)but sinners.”

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

¹⁸^(A)While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and ^(B)knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” ¹⁹And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. ²⁰And behold, a woman ^(C)who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched ^(D)the fringe of his garment, ²¹for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” ²²Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ^(E)“Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” ^(F)And instantly^[a] the woman was made well. ²³And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw ^(G)the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, ²⁴he said, “Go away, for ^(H)the girl is not dead but ^(I)sleeping.” And they laughed at him. ²⁵But ^(J)when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and ^(K)took her by the hand, and the girl arose. ²⁶And the report of this went through all that district.
