Friday of the 25th week of Ordinary Time

1In the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king, they began. 2And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying: 3Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying: 4Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes? 5Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, O Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts) 6The word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not. 7For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. 8And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts. 9The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.

18And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am? 19But they answered, and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again. 20And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God. 21But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man. 22Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day rise again.
