Jonah Goes to Nineveh
3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 “Arise, go to (A)Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now (B)Nineveh was an exceedingly great city,[a] three days' journey in breadth.[b] 4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 (C)And the people of Nineveh believed God. (D)They called for a fast and (E)put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.

Psalm 62:6-12
English Standard Version
6 (A)He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God rests my (B)salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, (C)my refuge is God.
8 (D)Trust in him at all times, O people;
(E)pour out your heart before him;
God is (F)a refuge for us. Selah
9 (G)Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate (H)are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
(I)they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no trust in extortion;
(J)set no vain hopes on robbery;
(K)if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11 (L)Once God has spoken;
(M)twice have I heard this:
that (N)power belongs to God,
12 and that to you, O Lord, (O)belongs steadfast love.
For you will (P)render to a man
according to his work.

29 This is what I mean, brothers: (A)the appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, 30 and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy (B)as though they had no goods, 31 and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For (C)the present form of this world is passing away.

Jesus Calls the First Disciples
16 (F)Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become (G)fishers of men.”[b] 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.
