Jeremiah 23:1-6

23 Woe unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith Jehovah.

Therefore thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel concerning the shepherds that feed my people: Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith Jehovah.

And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their pastures; and they shall be fruitful and shall multiply.

And I will raise up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, saith Jehovah.

Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, who shall reign as king, and act wisely, and shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in safety; and this is his name whereby he shall be called, Jehovah our Righteousness.

Psalm 46

To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song.

46 God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her at the dawn of the morning.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.

Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:

He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.

Colossians 1:11-20

11 strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory unto all endurance and longsuffering with joy;

12 giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light,

13 who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;

15 who is image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation;

16 because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.

17 And *he* is before all, and all things subsist together by him.

18 And *he* is the head of the body, the assembly; who is [the] beginning, firstborn from among the dead, that *he* might have the first place in all things:

19 for in him all the fulness [of the Godhead] was pleased to dwell,

20 and by him to reconcile all things to itself, having made peace by the blood of his cross—by him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.

Luke 23:33-43

33 And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.

34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.

35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

36 And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,

37 and saying, If *thou* be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.

39 Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?

41 and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.

42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.

43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
