Zechariah 2:5-9, 14-15
(5) And I will be to it, says the Lord, a wall of fire all around. And in glory, I will be in its midst (6) O, O flee from the land of the North, says the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, says the Lord (7) O Zion, flee, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon (8) For thus says the Lord of hosts: After the glory, he has sent me to the Gentiles, which have despoiled you. For he who touches you, touches the pupil of my eye (9) For behold, I lift up my hand over them, and they will be a prey to those who had served them. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me

Jeremiah 31:10-13
(10) Listen to the word of the Lord, O Gentiles, and announce it amid the islands that are far away, and say: “Whoever has scattered Israel will gather him, and he will guard him as a shepherd guards his flock. (11) For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and he has freed him from the hand of one more powerful (12) And they will arrive and give praise on Mount Zion. And they will flow together, to the good things of the Lord, over grain, and wine, and oil, and the offspring of cattle and herds. And their soul will be like an irrigated garden, and they will no longer be hungry (13) Then the virgin will rejoice with singing, the young and the old together, and I will turn their mourning into gladness, and I will console them and gladden them after their sorrow

(43) And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and he healed the boy, and he restored him to his father (44) And all were astonished at the greatness of God.

For it shall be that the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men. (45) But they did not understand this word, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to question him about this word

1 Corinthians 1:26-31
(26) So take care of your vocation, brothers. For not many are wise according to the flesh, not many are powerful, not many are noble (27) But God has chosen the foolish of the world, so that he may confound the wise. And God has chosen the weak of the world, so that he may confound the strong (28) And God has chosen the ignoble and contemptible of the world, those who are nothing, so that he may reduce to nothing those who are something (29) So then, nothing that is of the flesh should glory in his sight (30) But you are of him in Christ Jesus, who was made by God to be our wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption (31) And so, in the same way, it was written: “Whoever glories, should glory in the Lord.

(1) Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children.

(35) And Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity (36) Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd (37) Then he said to his disciples: “The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few (38) Therefore, petition the Lord of the harvest, so that he may sent out laborers to his harvest.
