³For though we walk in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh. ⁴For the weapons of our battles are not carnal, yet still they are powerful with God, unto the destruction of fortifications: tearing down every counsel ⁵and height that extols itself contrary to the wisdom of God, and leading every intellect into the captivity of obedience to Christ,

¹⁴And he was casting out a demon, and the man was mute. But when he had cast out the demon, the mute man spoke, and so the crowds were amazed. ¹⁵But some of them said, “It is by Beelzebub, the leader of demons, that he casts out demons.” ¹⁶And others, testing him, required a sign from heaven of him. ¹⁷But when he perceived their thoughts, he said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself will become desolate, and house will fall upon house. ¹⁸So then, if Satan is also divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebub that I cast out demons. ¹⁹But if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your own sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.

⁷You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me. ⁸I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.

¹⁶And by faith in his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, has confirmed his name. And faith through him has given this man complete health in the sight of you all.

¹And they went across the strait of the sea into the region of the Gerasenes. ²And as he was departing from the boat, he was immediately met, from among the tombs, by a man with an unclean spirit, ³who had his dwelling place with the tombs; neither had anyone been able to bind him, even with chains. ⁴For having been bound often with shackles and chains, he had broken the chains and smashed the shackles; and no one had been able to tame him. ⁵And he was always, day and night, among the tombs, or in the mountains, crying out and cutting himself with stones. ⁶And seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and adored him.

⁵I sought the Lord, and he heeded me, and he carried me away from all my tribulations.

⁸Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.

⁸The Angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear him, and he will rescue them.

¹³Yet by a prophet the Lord led Israel out of Egypt, and he was served by a prophet.

⁹Therefore, you shall pray in this way: Our Father, who is in heaven: May your name be kept holy. ¹⁰May your kingdom come. May your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth. ¹¹Give us this day our life-sustaining bread. ¹²And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. ¹³And lead us not into temptation. But free us from evil. Amen. ¹⁴For if you will forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father also will forgive you your offenses.

¹³Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he even-tempered? Let him sing psalms. ¹⁴Is anyone ill among you? Let him bring in the priests of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵And a prayer of faith will save the infirm, and the Lord will alleviate him. And if he has sins, these will be forgiven him. ¹⁶Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be saved. For the unremitting prayer of a just person prevails over many things.

¹The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the meek, so as to heal the contrite of heart, to preach leniency to captives and release to the confined, ²and so to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vindication of our God: to console all who are mourning, ³to take up the mourners of Zion and to give them a crown in place of ashes, an oil of joy in place of mourning, a cloak of praise in place of a spirit of grief. And there, they shall be called the strong ones of justice, the planting of the Lord, unto glorification. ⁴And they will rebuild the deserted places of past ages, and they will raise up the ruins of antiquity, and they will repair the desolate cities, which had been dissipated for generation after generation. ⁵And foreigners will stand up and will pasture your flocks. And the sons of sojourners will be your farmers and the workers of your vineyards. ⁶But you yourselves will be called the priests of the Lord. It will be said to you, “You are the ministers of our God.” You will eat from the strength of the Gentiles, and you will pride yourself on their glory.
