<t /><p class="bodytext">While<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> was in one of the towns,<n id="3" /> a man came<n id="4" /> to him who was covered with<n id="5" /> leprosy.<n id="6" /> When<n id="7" /> he saw Jesus, he bowed down with his face to the ground<n id="8" /> and begged him,<n id="9" /> &#8220;Lord, if<n id="10" /> you are willing, you can make me clean.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now on<n id="1" /> one of those days, while he was teaching, there were Pharisees<n id="2" /> and teachers of the law<n id="3" /> sitting nearby (who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem),<n id="4" /> and the power of the Lord was with him<n id="5" /> to heal.

So<n id="1" /> Jesus went with them. When<n id="2" /> he was not far from the house, the centurion<n id="3" /> sent friends to say to him, &#8220;Lord, do not trouble yourself,<n id="4" /> for I am not worthy<n id="5" /> to have you come under my roof.

<p class="bodytext">On that same occasion<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> rejoiced<n id="3" /> in the Holy Spirit and said, &#8220;I praise<n id="4" /> you, Father, Lord<n id="5" /> of heaven and earth, because<n id="6" /> you have hidden these things from the wise<n id="7" /> and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will.<n id="8" />

The expert<n id="1" /> answered, &#8220;<b><i>Lovei>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mindi>b>,<n id="3" /> and <b><i>love your neighbor as yourselfi>b>.&#8221;<n id="4" />

Once<n id="1" /> the head of the house<n id="2" /> gets up<n id="3" /> and shuts the door, then you will stand outside and start to knock on the door and beg him, &#8216;Lord,<n id="4" /> let us in!&#8217;<n id="5" /> But he will answer you,<n id="6" /> &#8216;I don&#8217;t know where you come from.&#8217;<n id="7" />

So<n id="1" /> the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the household was furious<n id="2" /> and said to his slave, &#8216;Go out quickly<n id="3" /> to the streets and alleys of the city,<n id="4" /> and bring in the poor,<n id="5" /> the crippled,<n id="6" /> the blind, and the lame.&#8217;

<p class="bodytext">Jesus said to her, &#8220;Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?&#8221; Because she<n id="1" /> thought he was the gardener, she said to him, &#8220;Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.&#8221;

The other disciples told him, &#8220;We have seen the Lord!&#8221; But he replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Unless I see the wounds<n id="2" /> from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, &#8220;Simon, son of John,<n id="1" /> do you love me more than these do?&#8221;<n id="2" /> He replied,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Yes, Lord, you know I love you.&#8221;<n id="4" /> Jesus<n id="5" /> told him, &#8220;Feed my lambs.&#8221;

Jesus<n id="1" /> said<n id="2" /> a third time, &#8220;Simon, son of John, do you love me?&#8221; Peter was distressed<n id="3" /> that Jesus<n id="4" /> asked<n id="5" /> him a third time, &#8220;Do you love me?&#8221; and said,<n id="6" /> &#8220;Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.&#8221; Jesus<n id="7" /> replied,<n id="8" /> &#8220;Feed my sheep.

So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed<n id="1" /> his hands on Saul<n id="2" /> and said, &#8220;Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here,<n id="3" /> has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.&#8221;<n id="4" />

Suddenly<n id="1" /> an angel of the Lord<n id="2" /> appeared, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck<n id="3" /> Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, &#8220;Get up quickly!&#8221; And the chains fell off Peter&#8217;s<n id="4" /> wrists.<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">I urge you, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together,<n id="2" /> to end your divisions,<n id="3" /> and to be united by the same mind and purpose.<n id="4" />

and he is divided. An unmarried woman<n id="1" /> or a virgin<n id="2" /> is concerned about the things of the Lord, to be holy both in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world, how to please her husband.
