1The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me: he hath sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, and to preach a release to the captives, and deliverance to them that are shut up.

2To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God: to comfort all that mourn:

3To appoint to the mourners of Sion, and to give them a crown for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the spirit of grief: and they shall be called in it the mighty ones of justice, the planting of the Lord to glorify him.

2The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever. I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth to generation and generation.

3For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: thy truth shall be prepared in them.

4I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant:

5Thy seed will I settle for ever. And I will build up thy throne unto generation and generation.

21I have found David my servant: with my holy oil I have anointed him.

22For my hand shall help him: and my arm shall strengthen him.

25And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

27He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: my God, and the support of my salvation.

36Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness.

29Remove from me the way of iniquity: and out of thy law have mercy on me.

1And after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.

2And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest.

3Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.

4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

5Into whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.

6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you.

7And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.

8And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

9And heal the sick that are therein and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
