John 4:33\u00a0Therefore the disciples said to one another, \u201cHas anyone brought Him anything to eat?\u201d 34 \u00a0 Jesus said to them, \u201cMy food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. 35Do you not say, \u2018There are still four months and then comes the harvest\u2019? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37For in this the saying is true: \u2018One sows and another reaps.\u2019 38I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.\u201d uMany Samaritans Believe \/ John 4: 39-45 39 \u00a0 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, \u201cHe told me all that I ever did.\u201d 40 \u00a0 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 \u00a0 And many more believed because of His own word. 42 \u00a0 Then they said to the woman, \u201cNow we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ,* the Savior of the world.\u201d 43 \u00a0 Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee. 44 \u00a0 For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 \u00a0 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also had gone to the feast.<\/p>\n

\nMatthew 4…<\/p>\n
Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee. 13 \u00a0 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 \u00a0 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: \u00a0 \u00a0 15 \u201cThe land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Galilee of the Gentiles: \u00a0 \u00a0 16 The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Light has dawned.\u201d* 17 \u00a0 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, \u201cRepent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nJohn 4:\u00a046 \u00a0 So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 \u00a0 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 \u00a0 Then Jesus said to him, \u201cUnless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.\u201d 49 \u00a0 The nobleman said to Him, \u201cSir, come down before my child dies!\u201d 50 \u00a0 Jesus said to him, \u201cGo your way; your son lives.\u201d So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 \u00a0 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, \u201cYour son lives!\u201d 52 \u00a0 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, \u201cYesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.\u201d 53 \u00a0 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, \u201cYour son lives.\u201d And he himself believed, and his whole household. 54 \u00a0 This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.<\/p>\n
\nMay Christ be with us! May Christ be before us! May Christ be in us, Christ be over all!
\nMay Thy Grace, Lord, Always be ours, This day, O Lord, and forevermore. Amen.

\nLuke 4:16\u00a0So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 \u00a0 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: \u00a0 \u00a0 18 \u201cThe Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Because He has anointed Me \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 To preach the gospel to the poor; \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,* \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 To proclaim liberty to the captives\u00a0\u00a0And recovery of sight to the blind, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 To set at liberty those who are oppressed; \u00a0 \u00a0 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.\u201d* 20 \u00a0 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 \u00a0 And He began to say to them, \u201cToday this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.\u201d 22 \u00a0 So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, \u201cIs this not Joseph\u2019s son?\u201d 23 \u00a0 He said to them, \u201cYou will surely say this proverb to Me, \u2018Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum,* do also here in Your country.\u2019 \u00a0\u201d 24 \u00a0 Then He said, \u201cAssuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. 25But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; 26but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath,* in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.\u201d 28 \u00a0 So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 \u00a0 and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. 30 \u00a0 Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.<\/p>\n
\nGlory to Jesus Christ \u2013 Glory forever!

\nMatthew 4:18 \u00a0 And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 \u00a0 Then He said to them, \u201cFollow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.\u201d 20 \u00a0 They immediately left their nets and followed Him. 21 \u00a0 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, 22 \u00a0 and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.<\/p>\n
\nFor as many have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ\u2026Alleluia<\/p>\n
\nMark 1:29 \u00a0 Now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 \u00a0 But Simon\u2019s wife\u2019s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. 31 \u00a0 So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them. 32 \u00a0 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. 33 \u00a0 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 \u00a0 Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.<\/p>\n
\nChrist is in our midst \u2013 He is and always shall be<\/p>\n
\nMatthew 8:14 \u00a0 Now when Jesus had come into Peter\u2019s house, He saw his wife\u2019s mother lying sick with a fever. 15 \u00a0 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.* 16 \u00a0 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast\u00a0\u00a0out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17 \u00a0 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201c He Himself took our infirmities \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And bore our sicknesses.\u201d*<\/p>\n
