14Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion! And with him were one hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, 3and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the one hundred forty-four thousand who have been redeemed from the earth. 4It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins; these follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been redeemed from humankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb, 5and in their mouth no lie was found; they are blameless.

1 The earth is the Lord’s and all that fills it, ♦︎
the compass of the world and all who dwell therein.
2 For he has founded it upon the seas ♦︎
and set it firm upon the rivers of the deep.
3 ‘Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord, ♦︎
or who can rise up in his holy place?’
4 ‘Those who have clean hands and a pure heart, ♦︎
who have not lifted up their soul to an idol,
nor sworn an oath to a lie;
5 ‘They shall receive a blessing from the Lord, ♦︎
a just reward from the God of their salvation.’
6 Such is the company of those who seek him, ♦︎
of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.

21He looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; 2he also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. 3He said, ‘Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; 4for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.’
