1On the first day of the sixth month in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak: 2Thus says the LORD of hosts: This people has said: “Now is not the time to rebuild the house of the LORD.” 3Then the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet: 4Is it time for you to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies in ruins? 5Now thus says the LORD of hosts: Reflect on your experience! 6You have sown much, but have brought in little; you have eaten, but have not been satisfied; You have drunk, but have not become intoxicated; you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed; And the hired worker labors for a bag full of holes. 7Thus says the LORD of hosts: Reflect on your experience! 8Go up into the hill country; bring timber, and build the house that I may be pleased with it, and that I may be glorified, says the LORD.

1Psalm 149 Praise God with Song and Sword - Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful. 2Let Israel be glad in its maker, the people of Zion rejoice in their king. 3Let them praise his name in dance, make music with tambourine and lyre. 4For the LORD takes delight in his people, honors the poor with victory. 5Let the faithful rejoice in their glory, cry out for joy on their couches, 6With the praise of God in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands, 9To execute the judgments decreed for them— such is the glory of all God’s faithful. Hallelujah!

6Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

7Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed because some were saying, “John has been raised from the dead”; 8others were saying, “Elijah has appeared”; still others, “One of the ancient prophets has arisen.” 9But Herod said, “John I beheaded. Who then is this about whom I hear such things?” And he kept trying to see him. The Return of the Twelve and the Feeding of the Five Thousand.
