3 Then Joshua rose very early. And they left Shittim and came to the Jordan (he and all the children of Israel) and lodged there before they went over.
2 And after three days, the officers went throughout the camp,
3 and commanded the people, saying, “When you see the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests of the Levites bearing it, you shall depart from your place and go after it.
4 “Still, there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. You shall not come near it, so that you may know the way by which you shall go. For you have not gone this way before.”
5 Now Joshua had said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves! For tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you!
6 Also, Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and go over before the people.” So they took up the Ark of the Covenant, and went before the people.
7 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, which shall know that as I was with Moses so I will be with you.
8 “You shall, therefore, command the priests who bear the Ark of the Covenant, saying, ‘When you have come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’”
9 Then Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here and hear the Words of the LORD your God!”
10 And Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will certainly cast out before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites.
11 “Behold, the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD of all the world passes before you into the Jordan.
12 “Now, therefore, take from among you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, a man out of every tribe.
13 “And as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the Ark of the LORD God, the Lord of all the world, shall stay in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off. For the waters that come from above shall stand still in one heap.”
14 Then, when the people had departed from their tents to go over the Jordan, the priests bearing the Ark of the Covenant went before the people.
15 And as those who bore the Ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the Ark were dipped in the edge of the water (for Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),
16 then the waters that came down from above, stayed, rose in one heap, and departed far from the city, to Adam, which was beside Zaretan. But the waters that came down toward the Sea of the Wilderness (the Salt Sea) failed and were cut off. So, the people went right over, near Jericho.
17 But the priests who bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, stood firm and dry within the Jordan. And all the Israelites went over, dry, until all the people had completely gone over, through the Jordan.
126 When the LORD brought back the captives of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joy. Then they said among the heathen, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
3 The LORD has done great things for us! We rejoice!
4 O LORD, bring back our captives as the rivers in the south.
5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 They went weeping and carried precious seed. They shall return with joy and bring their sheaves. A song of degrees, or Psalm, of Solomon
127 Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless the LORD keeps the city, the keeper watches in vain.
2 It is in vain for you to rise early, to lie down late, and eat the bread of sorrow; but He will surely give rest to His beloved.
3 Behold, children are the inheritance of the LORD, the fruit of the womb His reward.
4 As the arrows in the hand of the strong man are the children of youth.
5 Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them. They shall not be ashamed when they speak with enemies in the gate. A song of degrees
128 Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD and walks in His ways.
2 When you eat the labors of your hands, you shall be blessed; and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house, your children like olive plants around your table.
4 Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD.
5 The LORD out of Zion shall bless you; and you shall see the wealth of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Indeed, you shall see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel. A song of degrees
63 Who is this who comes from Edom, with red garments from Bozrah? He is glorious in His apparel, and walks in His great strength. “I speak in righteousness and am mighty to save.”
2 Why is your apparel red, and your garments like him who treads in the winepress?
3 “I have trod the winepress alone, and from all people there was no one with Me. For I will tread them in My anger and tread them under foot in My wrath. And their blood shall be sprinkled upon My garments. And I will stain all My clothing.
4 “For the day of vengeance is in My Heart. And the year of My redeemed has come.
5 “And I looked, and there was no one to help. And I wondered that there was no one to uphold. Therefore, My own Arm helped Me. And My wrath itself sustained Me.
6 “Therefore, I will tread down the people in My wrath, and make them drunk in My indignation, and will bring down their strength to the earth.”
7 I will remember the mercy of the LORD, the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has given us, and for the great goodness toward the House of Israel which He has given them according to His tender love, and according to His great mercies.
8 For He said, “Surely they are My people, children that will not lie.” So He was their Savior.
9 In all their troubles, He was troubled. And the Angel of His presence saved them. In His love and in His mercy, He redeemed them and He bore them and carried them, always, continually.
10 But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. Therefore, He was turned to be their enemy. He fought against them.
11 Then He remembered the old time of Moses and his people, saying, “Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of His sheep? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within him?
12 “He led them by the right hand of Moses with His own glorious Arm, dividing the water before them, to make Himself an everlasting Name.
13 “He led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they would not stumble.”
14 As the beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. So did You lead Your people, to make Yourself a glorious Name.
15 Look down from Heaven, and behold from the dwelling place of Your holiness, and of Your Glory. Where is Your zeal and Your strength, the multitude of Your mercies, and of Your compassion? They are restrained from me.
16 Doubtless, You are our Father. Though Abraham is ignorant of us and Israel does not know us, You, O LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer. Your Name is forever.
17 O LORD, why have You made us err from Your ways, hardened our heart from Your fear? Return for Your servant’s sake, for the tribes of Your inheritance.
18 The people of Your holiness have possessed it only a little while. For our adversaries have trampled down Your Sanctuary.
19 We have been as they over whom You never bore rule and upon whom Your name was not called.
11 And it happened that when Jesus had finished commanding His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 And when John (who was in the prison) heard of the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said to Him,
3 “Are You Him Who should come? Or shall we look for another?”
4 And Jesus, answering, said to them, “Go, and show John what things you hear and see.
5 “The blind receive sight. And the lame walk. The lepers are cleansed. And the deaf hear. The dead are raised up. And the poor receive the Gospel.
6 “And blessed is he who shall not be offended by Me.”
7 And as they departed, Jesus began to speak to the multitude about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see - a reed shaken with the wind?
8 “But what did you go out to see - a man wearing soft clothes? Behold, those who wear soft clothes are in kings’ houses.
9 “But what did you go out to see - a Prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a Prophet.
10 “For this is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who shall prepare Your way before You.’
11 “Truly I say to you, among those who are begotten of women, there has not arisen a greater than John Baptist. Even so, the least in the Kingdom of Heaven, is greater than he.
12 “And from the time of John Baptist until now, the Kingdom of God suffers violence. And the violent take it by force.
13 “For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
14 “And if you will receive it, this is that Elijah who was to come.
15 “The one who has ears to hear let him hear.
16 “But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like little children who sit in the markets, and call to others,
17 “and say, ‘We have played the flute for you and you have not danced. We have lamented for you, and you have not mourned.’
18 “For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19 “The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend to tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
20 Then He began to reproach the cities wherein most of His great works were done, because they did not repent.
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the great works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, in sackcloth and ashes.
22 “But I say to you it shall be easier for Tyre and Sidon on the Day of Judgment than for you.
23 “And you, Capernaum, who is lifted up to Heaven, shall be brought down to Hell! For if the great works which have been done in you had been done among those of Sodom, they would still remain to this day!
24 “But I say to you that it shall be easier for them of the land of Sodom on the Day of Judgment than for you.”
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I give You thanks, O Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise, and men of understanding, and have opened them to the simple.
26 “It is so, O Father, because it was pleasing before You.
27 “All things are given to Me by My Father: and no one knows the Son, but the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him.
28 “Come to Me, all you who are weary and laden, and I will ease you.
29 “Take My yoke on you, and learn of Me, that I am gentle and lowly in heart. And you shall find rest for your souls.
30 “For My yoke is easy, and My burden light.”
