Book of Common Prayer
Therefore Accept One Another As Christ Has Accepted You, Both Jew And Gentile
7 Therefore, be accepting one-another, just as Christ also accepted you— for the glory of God. 8 For I say that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of the truth of God, so that He might confirm the promises of [a] the fathers, 9 and the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy just as it has been written: “For this reason I will praise You among the Gentiles and I will sing-praise to Your name” [Ps 18:49]. 10 And again he says, “Celebrate, Gentiles, with His people” [Deut 32:43]. 11 And again, “All Gentiles, be praising the Lord, and let all the peoples praise Him” [Ps 117:1]. 12 And again Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, even the One rising-up to rule[b] the Gentiles. The Gentiles will put-their-hope upon Him” [Isa 11:10].
Peace And Joy To You All
13 Now may the God of [c] hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may be abounding in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Goes Up To Jerusalem
28 And having said these things, He was proceeding ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
He Enters Jerusalem Riding a Colt, To The Praise of The People. He Weeps Over The City
29 And it came about when He drew-near to Bethphage and Bethany— near the mountain being called ‘of Olives’— that He sent-forth two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go to the village before you, in which while proceeding you will find a colt having been tied on which none[a] of mankind ever sat. And having untied it, bring it. 31 And if someone asks you, ‘For what reason are you untying it?’, thus you shall say— that[b] ‘The Lord has need of it’”. 32 And having gone, the ones having been sent-forth found it just as He said to them. 33 And while they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And the ones said that “The Lord has need of it”. 35 And they brought it to Jesus. And having cast their cloaks upon the colt, they put Jesus on it. 36 And while He was proceeding, they were spreading their cloaks under Him in the road. 37 And while He was drawing-near now[c], at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God, rejoicing with a loud voice for all the miracles which they saw, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King coming in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest [heavens]!” 39 And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples”. 40 And having responded, He said, “I say to you, if these will be silent, the stones will cry out!”
