20Thus saith the Lord of hosts, until people come, and dwell in many cities, 21And the inhabitants go one to another, saying: Let us go, and entreat the face of the Lord, and let us seek the Lord of hosts: I also will go. 22And many peoples, and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the face of the Lord. 23Thus saith the Lord of hosts: In those days, wherein ten men of all languages of the Gentiles shall take hold, and shall hold fast the shirt of one that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

1For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:

2The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.

4I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.

5Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

6The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

7The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.

51And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52And he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him. 53And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem. 54And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them? 55And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are. 56The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.
