Romans 15: 4-13


4 For what things soever were
written, were written for our
learning: that through patience
and the comfort of the scriptures,
we might have hope. 5 Now the
God of patience and of comfort
grant you to be of one mind one
towards another, according to
Jesus Christ:

6 That with one mind, and with
one mouth, you may glorify God
and the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ. 7 Wherefore receive one
another, as Christ also hath
received you unto the honour of
God. 8 For I say that Christ Jesus
was minister of the circumcision
for the truth of God, to confirm the
promises made unto the fathers. 9
But that the Gentiles are to glorify
God for his mercy, as it is written:
Therefore will I confess to thee, O
Lord, among the Gentiles, and will
sing to thy name. 10 And again he
saith: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with
his people.
11 And again: Praise the Lord, all
ye Gentiles; and magnify him, all
ye people. 12 And again Isaias
saith: There shall be a root of
Jesse; and he that shall rise up to
rule the Gentiles, in him the
Gentiles shall hope. 13 Now the
God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing; that you
may abound in hope, and in the
power of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 11: 2-10


2 Now when John had heard in
prison the works of Christ: sending
two of his disciples he said to him:
3 Art thou he that art to come, or
look we for another? 4 And Jesus
making answer said to them: Go
and relate to John what you have
heard and seen. 5 The blind see,
the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead
rise again, the poor have the
gospel preached to them.

6 And blessed is he that shall not
be scandalized in me. 7 And when
they went their way, Jesus began
to say to the multitudes concerning
John: What went you out into the
desert to see? a reed shaken with
the wind? 8 But what went you out
to see? a man clothed in soft
garments? Behold they that are
clothed in soft garments, are in the
houses of kings. 9 But what went
you out to see? a prophet? yea I
tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he of whom it is
written: Behold I send my angel
before thy face, who shall prepare
thy way before thee.
