²² A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time.

³ For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

⁷ And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

⁹ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

³¹ Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

³² Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

¹⁹ That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

¹⁴ And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

⁴¹ Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

⁸ Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
