Luke 7:11-35

11
 And it came to pass the day after, that he [Jesus] went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12
 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13
 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her,
Weep not.
14
 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare
him
stood still. And he said,
Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15
 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

16
 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
17
 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.

18
 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
19
 And John calling
unto him
two of his disciples sent
them
to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

20
 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

21
 And in that same hour he cured many of
their
infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many
that were
blind he gave sight.
22
 Then Jesus answering said unto them,
Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
23
 
And blessed is
he,
whosoever shall not be offended in me.

24
 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John,
What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25
 
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
26
 
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27
 
This is
he,
of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28
 
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

29
 And all the people that heard
him,
and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30
 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

31
 And the Lord said,
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32
 
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33
 
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34
 
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35
 
But wisdom is justified of all her children.

Psalm 68:19-35

19
 Blessed
be
the Lord,
who
daily loadeth us
with benefits, even
the God of our salvation. Selah.

20
 
He that is
our God
is
the God of salvation; and unto G
OD
the Lord
belong
the issues from death.

21
 But God shall wound the head of his enemies,
and
the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

22
 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring
my people
again from the depths of the sea:

23
 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of
thine
enemies,
and
the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

24
 They have seen thy goings, O God;
even
the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

25
 The singers went before, the players on instruments
followed
after; among
them were
the damsels playing with timbrels.

26
 Bless ye God in the congregations,
even
the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

27
 There
is
little Benjamin
with
their ruler, the princes of Judah
and
their council, the princes of Zebulun,
and
the princes of Naphtali.

28
 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

29
 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

30
 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people,
till every one
submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people
that
delight in war.

31
 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

32
 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

33
 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens,
which were
of old; lo, he doth send out his voice,
and that
a mighty voice.

34
 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency
is
over Israel, and his strength
is
in the clouds.

35
 O God,
thou art
terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel
is
he that giveth strength and power unto
his
people. Blessed
be
God.

Proverbs 11:29-31

29
 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool
shall be
servant to the wise of heart.

30
 The fruit of the righteous
is
a tree of life; and he that winneth souls
is
wise.

31
 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.

Deuteronomy 7:1–8:20

Luke 7:36–8:3

Psalm 69:1-18

Proverbs 12:1

Deuteronomy 7:1–8:20

1
 When the L
ORD
thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2
 and when the L
ORD
thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them,
and
utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3
 neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4
 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the L
ORD
be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5
 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

6
 For thou
art
an holy people unto the L
ORD
thy God: the L
ORD
thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that
are
upon the face of the earth.
7
 The L
ORD
did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye
were
the fewest of all people:
8
 but because the L
ORD
loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the L
ORD
brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9
 Know therefore that the L
ORD
thy God, he
is
God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10
 and repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11
 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

12
 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the L
ORD
thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13
 and he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14
 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15
 And the L
ORD
will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all
them
that hate thee.

16
 And thou shalt consume all the people which the L
ORD
thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that
will be
a snare unto thee.
17
 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations
are
more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18
 Thou shalt not be afraid of them:
but
shalt well remember what the L
ORD
thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19
 the great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the L
ORD
thy God brought thee out: so shall the L
ORD
thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20
 Moreover the L
ORD
thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

21
 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the L
ORD
thy God
is
among you, a mighty God and terrible.
22
 And the L
ORD
thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23
 But the L
ORD
thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
24
 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

25
 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold
that is
on them, nor take
it
unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it
is
an abomination to the L
ORD
thy God.
26
 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it:
but
thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it
is
a cursed thing.

8:
1
 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the L
ORD
sware unto your fathers.
2
 And thou shalt remember all the way which the L
ORD
thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee,
and
to prove thee, to know what
was
in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
3
 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every
word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of the L
ORD
doth man live.
4
 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5
 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son,
so
the L
ORD
thy God chasteneth thee.

6
 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the L
ORD
thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7
 For the L
ORD
thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8
 a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
9
 a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any
thing
in it; a land whose stones
are
iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10
 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the L
ORD
thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

11
 Beware that thou forget not the L
ORD
thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12
 lest
when
thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt
therein;
13
 and
when
thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
14
 then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the L
ORD
thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
15
 who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness,
wherein were
fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where
there was
no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
16
 who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17
 and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of
mine
hand hath gotten me this wealth.

18
 But thou shalt remember the L
ORD
thy God: for
it is
he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as
it is
this day.
19
 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the L
ORD
thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20
 As the nations which the L
ORD
destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the L
ORD
your God.
