45The word that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah:
2Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:
3You said, Woe is me! The Lord has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.
4Thus you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord: I am going to break down what I have built, and pluck up what I have plantedthat is, the whole land.
5And you, do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for I am going to bring disaster upon all flesh, says the Lord; but I will give you your life as a prize of war in every place to which you may go.

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, ♦︎
then were we like those who dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter ♦︎
and our tongue with songs of joy.
3 Then said they among the nations, ♦︎
The Lord has done great things for them.
4 The Lord has indeed done great things for us, ♦︎
and therefore we rejoiced.
5 Restore again our fortunes, O Lord, ♦︎
as the river beds of the desert.
6 Those who sow in tears ♦︎
shall reap with songs of joy.
7 Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed, ♦︎
will come back with shouts of joy,
bearing their sheaves with them.

27 At that time prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted by the Spirit that there would be a severe famine over all the world; and this took place during the reign of Claudius. 29The disciples determined that according to their ability, each would send relief to the believers* living in Judea; 30this they did, sending it to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.
12About that time King Herod laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church. 2He had James, the brother of John, killed with the sword.

20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling before him, she asked a favour of him. 21And he said to her, What do you want? She said to him, Declare that these two sons of mine will sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom. 22But Jesus answered, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?* They said to him, We are able. 23He said to them, You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.
24 When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers. 25But Jesus called them to him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 26It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, 27and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; 28just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
