56Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
²Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
³Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
⁴For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
⁵Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
⁶Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
⁷Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
⁸The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

Psalm 67

¹God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
²That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
³Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
⁴O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
⁵Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
⁶Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
⁷God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

¹⁰And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
¹¹Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
¹²Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
¹³But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
¹⁴Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
¹⁵Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
¹⁶And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
¹⁷Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
¹⁸But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
¹⁹For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
²⁰These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
²¹Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
²²And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
²³But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
²⁴But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
²⁵Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
²⁶But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
²⁷And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
²⁸Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
