2 That day, Yahweh’s seedling will turn to beauty and glory, what the earth brings forth will turn to the pride and ornament of Israel’s survivors.<\/p>\n
3 Those who are left in Zion and remain in Jerusalem will be called holy, all those in Jerusalem noted down to live.<\/p>\n
4 When the Lord has washed away the filth of Zion’s daughters and with the wind of judgement and the wind of burning cleansed Jerusalem of the blood shed in her,<\/p>\n
5 Yahweh will create, over every house on Mount Zion and over those who assemble there, a cloud by day, and by night smoke with the brightness of a flaring fire. For over all will be the Glory as canopy<\/p>\n
6 and tent to give shade by day from the heat, refuge and shelter from the storm and the rain.<\/p>\n

1 [Song of Ascents Of David] I rejoiced that they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of Yahweh.’<\/p>\n
2 At last our feet are standing at your gates, Jerusalem!<\/p>\n
3 Jerusalem, built as a city, in one united whole,<\/p>\n
4 there the tribes go up, the tribes of Yahweh, a sign for Israel to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.<\/p>\n
8 For love of my brothers and my friends I will say, ‘Peace upon you!’<\/p>\n
9 For love of the house of Yahweh our God I will pray for your well-being.<\/p>\n

5 When he went into Capernaum a centurion came up and pleaded with him.<\/p>\n
6 ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘my servant is lying at home paralysed and in great pain.’<\/p>\n
7 Jesus said to him, ‘I will come myself and cure him.’<\/p>\n
8 The centurion replied, ‘Sir, I am not worthy to have you under my roof; just give the word and my servant will be cured.<\/p>\n
9 For I am under authority myself and have soldiers under me; and I say to one man, “Go,” and he goes; to another, “Come here,” and he comes; to my servant, “Do this,” and he does it.’<\/p>\n
10 When Jesus heard this he was astonished and said to those following him, ‘In truth I tell you, in no one in Israel have I found faith as great as this.<\/p>\n
11 And I tell you that many will come from east and west and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob at the feast in the kingdom of Heaven;<\/p>\n
