Psalm

Psalms 35:10, 27

10All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like You
27And let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.

Gospel

Luke 7:18-28

18Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.19And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?20When the men had come to Him, they said, John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, `Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?'21And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.22Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them.23And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.24When the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?25But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings' courts.26But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.27This is he of whom it is written: `Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.'28For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

Psalm

Psalms 51:8, 19

8Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
19Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

Gospel

John 3:25-36

25Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purification.26And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified--behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!27John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.28You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, `I am not the Christ,' but, `I have been sent before Him.'29He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.30He must increase, but I must decrease.31He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.32And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.33He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.34For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.35The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.36He who believes in the Son has everlasting life

Hebrews 11:1-10

1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.2For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.3By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.4By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.5By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, and was not found, because God had taken him; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.6But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.7By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.8By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.9By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;10for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

1 Peter 1:25 - 2:10

25But the word of the Lord endures forever. Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.1Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,2as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,3if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.4Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,5you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.6Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.7Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,8and A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense. They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.9But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;10who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

Acts

Acts 13:25-33

25And as John was finishing his course, he said, `Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'26Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent.27For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him.28And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death.29Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.30But God raised Him from the dead.31He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.32And we declare to you glad tidings--that promise which was made to the fathers.33God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: `You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'

Psalm

Psalms 34:20, 15

20He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.
15The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.

Gospel

Matthew 11:2-10

2And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples3and said to Him, Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?4Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:5The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.6And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.7As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?8But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.9But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.10For this is he of whom it is written: `Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.'
