Those who live far away are awed by your signs;
you make east and west shout for joy.(A)

You visit the earth and water it abundantly,
enriching it greatly.
God’s stream is filled with water,
for you prepare the earth in this way,
providing people with grain.(B)
10 You soften it with showers and bless its growth,
soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges.(C)
11 You crown the year with your goodness;
your carts overflow with plenty.[a](D)
12 The wilderness pastures overflow,
and the hills are robed with joy.(E)
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks
and the valleys covered with grain.(F)
They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.(G)

A Blind Man Healed

46 They(A) came to Jericho.(B) And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind(C) beggar,(D) was sitting by the road.(E) 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,(F) he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David,(G) have mercy(H) on me!” (I) 48 Many warned him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me,(J) Son of David!”

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage!(K) Get up; he’s calling for you.” 50 He threw off his coat,(L) jumped up, and came to Jesus.

51 Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want(M) me to do for you?”

“Rabboni,”[a](N) the blind man said to him, “I want to see.”

52 Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has saved you.”(O) Immediately he could see and began to follow Jesus on the road.

Resurrection Supported by Christian Experience

29 Otherwise what will they do who are being baptized for the dead?[a] If the dead are not raised at all, then why are people baptized for them?[b] 30 Why are we in danger every hour? 31 I face death every day,(A) as surely as I may boast about you, brothers and sisters, in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus(B) as a mere man, what good did that do me?(C) If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.[c](D) 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” 34 Come to your senses[d](E) and stop sinning; for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.(F)
