Luke 20:27-47

27
 Then came to
him
[Jesus] certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28
 saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29
 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30
 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31
 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32
 Last of all the woman died also.
33
 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

34
 And Jesus answering said unto them,
The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35
 
but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36
 
neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37
 
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38
 
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

39
 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40
 And after that they durst not ask him any
question at all.

41
 And he said unto them,
How say they that Christ is David's son?
42
 
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The L
ORD
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43
 
till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
44
 
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

45
 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
46
 
Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47
 
which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

Psalm 89:14-37

14
 Justice and judgment
are
the habitation of thy [the L
ORD
's] throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

15
 Blessed
is
the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O L
ORD
, in the light of thy countenance.

16
 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

17
 For thou
art
the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

18
 For the L
ORD
is
our defence; and the Holy One of Israel
is
our king.

19
 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon
one that is
mighty; I have exalted
one
chosen out of the people.

20
 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

21
 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

22
 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23
 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

24
 But my faithfulness and my mercy
shall be
with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

25
 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

26
 He shall cry unto me, Thou
art
my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

27
 Also I will make him
my
firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

28
 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

29
 His seed also will I make
to endure
for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

30
 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31
 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

32
 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

33
 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

34
 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35
 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

36
 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

37
 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and
as
a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Proverbs 13:17-19

17
 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador
is
health.

18
 Poverty and shame
shall be to
him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

19
 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but
it is
abomination to fools to depart from evil.

Proverbs 13:20-23

Joshua 24:1-33

1
 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
2
 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the L
ORD
God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time,
even
Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.
3
 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
4
 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
5
 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.

6
 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.
7
 And when they cried unto the L
ORD
, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
8
 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
9
 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:
10
 but I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
11
 And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.
12
 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you,
even
the two kings of the Amorites;
but
not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
13
 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

14
 Now therefore fear the L
ORD
, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the L
ORD
.
15
 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the L
ORD
, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that
were
on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the L
ORD
.

16
 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the L
ORD
, to serve other gods;
17
 for the L
ORD
our God, he
it is
that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
18
 and the L
ORD
drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land:
therefore
will we also serve the L
ORD
; for he
is
our God.

19
 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the L
ORD
: for he
is
an holy God; he
is
a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
20
 If ye forsake the L
ORD
, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

21
 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the L
ORD
.

22
 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye
are
witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the L
ORD
, to serve him.

And they said,
We are
witnesses.

23
 Now therefore put away,
said he,
the strange gods which
are
among you, and incline your heart unto the L
ORD
God of Israel.

24
 And the people said unto Joshua, The L
ORD
our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

25
 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
26
 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that
was
by the sanctuary of the L
ORD
.

27
 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the L
ORD
which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
28
 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.

29
 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the L
ORD
, died,
being
an hundred and ten years old.
30
 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which
is
in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.

31
 And Israel served the L
ORD
all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the L
ORD
, that he had done for Israel.

32
 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

33
 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill
that pertained to
Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.

Luke 21:1-28

1
 And he [Jesus] looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2
 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3
 And he said,
Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4
 
for all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

5
 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6
 
As for
these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

7
 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign
will there be
when these things shall come to pass?

8
 And he said,
Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ;
and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
9
 
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end
is
not by and by.
10
 Then said he unto them,
Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11
 
and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

12
 
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute
you,
delivering
you
up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13
 
And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14
 
Settle
it
therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15
 
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16
 
And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and
some
of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17
 
And ye shall be hated of all
men
for my name's sake.
18
 
But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19
 
In your patience possess ye your souls.

20
 
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21
 
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22
 
For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23
 
But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24
 
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25
 
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26
 
men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27
 
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28
 
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
