Chapter 1
15b on the twenty−fourth day of the month, in the sixth month.
Chapter 2
2 Speak now to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and
to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of
the people, and say,
3 Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? How
does it look to you now? Is it not in your sight as nothing?
4 Yet now take courage, O Zerubbabel, says the LORD ; take courage
, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; take courage, all you
people of the land, says the LORD ; work, for I am with you, says the
LORD of hosts,
5 according to the promise that I made you when you came out of
Egypt. My spirit abides among you; do not fear.
6 For thus says the LORD of hosts: Once again, in a little while, I
will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land;
7 and I will shake all the nations, so that the treasure of all nations
shall come, and I will fill this house with splendour, says the LORD
of hosts.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts.
9 The latter splendour of this house shall be greater than the former,
says the LORD of hosts; and in this place I will give prosperity, says
the LORD of hosts.

5 + As for me * I will be talking of the glorious splendour |
of your | majesty:
I will tell the | story . of your | marvel-lous | works.
17 The Lord is just in | all his | ways:
and | faithful . in | all his | dealings.
18 The Lord is near to all who | call up|on him:
to all who | call up|on him . in | truth.
19 He will fulfil the desire of | those that | fear him:
he will | hear their | cry and | save them.
20 The Lord preserves all | those that| love him:
but the wicked | he will | utterly . de|stroy.
21+ My mouth shall speak the | praises . of the | Lord:

1 As to the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ and our being gathered
together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters,
2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by
word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the
LORD is already here.
3 Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come
unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the
one destined for destruction.
4 He opposes and exalts himself above every so−called god or object
of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring
himself to be God.
5 Do you not remember that I told you these things when I was still
with you?
13 But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and
sisters beloved by the LORD, because God chose you as the first
fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through
belief in the truth.
14 For this purpose he called you through our proclamation of the
good news, so that you may obtain the glory of our LORD Jesus
Christ.
15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the
traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by
our letter.
16 Now may our LORD Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,
who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good
hope,
17 comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and
word.

27 Some Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to
him
28 and asked him a question, Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a
mans brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall
marry the widow and raise up children for his brother.
29 Now there were seven brothers; the first married, and died
childless;
30 then the second
31 and the third married her, and so in the same way all seven died
childless.
32 Finally the woman also died.
33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For
the seven had married her.
34 Jesus said to them, Those who belong to this age marry and are
given in marriage;
35 but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in
the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in
marriage.
36 Indeed they cannot die any more, because they are like angels and
are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the
story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Now he is God not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of
them are alive.
39 Then some of the scribes answered, Teacher, you have spoken well.
40 For they no longer dared to ask him another question.
