1Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes in the ancestral houses of the Israelites. They came to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant from the city of David (which is Zion). 2All the people of Israel assembled before King Solomon during the festival in the month of Ethanim (the seventh month). 3When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark; 4and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the tent of meeting with all the sacred vessels that were in the tent. The priests and Levites brought them up. 5King Solomon and the entire community of Israel, gathered for the occasion before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen too many to number or count. 6The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, the inner sanctuary of the house, the holy of holies, beneath the wings of the cherubim. 7The cherubim had their wings spread out over the place of the ark, sheltering the ark and its poles from above. 9There was nothing in the ark but the two stone tablets which Moses had put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites after they went forth from the land of Egypt. 10When the priests left the holy place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD 11so that the priests could no longer minister because of the cloud, since the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD. 12Then Solomon said, “The LORD intends to dwell in the dark cloud; 13I have indeed built you a princely house, the base for your enthronement forever.”

6“We have heard of it in Ephrathah; we have found it in the fields of Jaar. 7Let us enter his dwelling; let us worship at his footstool.” 8“Arise, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your mighty ark. 9Your priests will be clothed with justice; your devout will shout for joy.” 10For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed.

23He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people.

53The Healings at Gennesaret. After making the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there. 54As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. 55They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.
