Saturday of the 25th week of Ordinary Time

1And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold a man, with a measuring line in his hand. 2And I said: Whither goest thou? and he said to me: To measure Jerusalem, and to see how great is the breadth thereof, and how great the length thereof. 3And behold the angel that spoke in me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him. 4And he said to him: Run, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, by reason of the multitude of men, and of the beasts in the midst thereof. 5And I will be to it, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about: and I will be in glory in the midst thereof.

10Sing praise, and rejoice, O daughter of Sion: for behold I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: saith the Lord. 11And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to thee.

10Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the islands that are afar off, and say: He that scattered Israel will gather him: and he will keep him as the shepherd doth his flock.

11For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and delivered him out of the hand of one that was mightier than he.

12And they shall come, and shall give praise in mount Sion: and they shall flow together to the good things of the Lord, for the corn, and wine, and oil, and the increase of cattle and herds, and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall be hungry no more.

13Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow.

43And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and restored him to his father. 44And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass, that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. 45But they understood not this word; and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.
