And I shall send to you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Turn ye back now each from his evil way, and make good your doings, and ye shall not go after other gods to serve them, and turn ye back to the land which I gave to you and to your fathers: and ye inclined not your ear and ye heard not to me.

And he sent his servants to those having been called to the nuptial feast: and they would not come.

And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, Before I shall form thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou shalt go forth from the womb I consecrated thee; I gave thee a prophet to the nations. And saying, Ah, Lord Jehovah, behold I knew not to speak: for I a boy. read more.
And Jehovah will say to me, Thou shalt not say, I a boy; for thou shalt go to all to whom I shall send thee, and all which I shall command thee thou shalt speak Thou shalt not be afraid of their faces, for I am with thee to deliver thee, says Jehovah. And Jehovah will stretch forth his hand and touch upon my mouth: and Jehovah will say to me, Behold, I gave my words into thy mouth. See, I appointed thee this day over the nations and over the kingdoms to pluck up and to tear down, and to destroy, and to overthrow, to build and to plant And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, What seem thou, Jeremiah? and saying, I see the shoot of an almond tree. And Jehovah will say to me, Thou didst well to see; for I watch upon my word to do it And the word of Jehovah will be to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? and saying, I see a pot blown under, and its face from the face of the north. And Jehovah will say to me, From the north shall evil be opened upon all the inhabitants of the earth. For behold me calling to all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says Jehovah; and they came, and gave a man his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all her walls round about and upon all the cities of Judah. And I spake my judgment with them concerning all their evil, who forsook me, and they will burn incense to other gods, and they will worship to the works of their hands. And thou shalt gird thy loins and rise and speak to them all that I shall command thee: thou shalt not be terrified from their face lest I shall break thee before them. Behold, I gave thee this day for a fortified city and for a pillar of iron and for a wall of brass upon all the land to the kings of Judah, to her chiefs, to her priests, and to the people of the land. And they warred against thee; and they shall not prevail against thee, for I am with thee, says Jehovah, to deliver thee.


And it was the crowd pressing close upon him to hear the word of God, and he was standing near the lake of Gennesaret, And he saw two ships standing near the lake: and the fishermen having gone out of them, washed the fishing-nets. And having gone into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to sail out a little from land. And having sat down, he taught the crowds out of the ship. read more.
And when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Sail out into the deep, and slacken your nets for fishing. And Simon having answered, said to him, Commander, wearied for the whole-night, we took nothing: but at thy word I will slacken the net. And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net broke through; And they nodded to partners, those in the other ship, that having come they should succor them. And they came and filled both ships, so that they were sinking. And Simon Peter fell upon his knees before Jesus, saying, Go out from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For amazement held him, and all those with him, at the fishing of the fishes which they took: And likewise also James and John, Zebedee's sons, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; from now thou shalt be capturing men. And having brought down the ship upon the land, having let go all things, they followed him.

The morrow Jesus wished to go forth to Galilee, and he finds Philip, and he says to him, Follow me.

Shall not wisdom call, and understanding give her voice?

She sent forth her girls: she will call upon the wings of the heights of the city,
