Saturday in Advent

68Verse 68. “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people. 69Verse 69. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David, 70Verse 70. as He spoke through His holy prophets, those of ages past, 71Verse 71. salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us, 72Verse 72. to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant, 73Verse 73. the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us 74Verse 74. deliverance from hostile hands, that we may serve Him without fear, 75Verse 75. in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives. 76Verse 76. And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him, 77Verse 77. to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, 78Verse 78. because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high, 79Verse 79. to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

1Verse 1. “For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace, when all the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble; the day is coming when I will set them ablaze,” says the LORD of Hosts. “Not a root or branch will be left to them.” 2Verse 2. “But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like calves from the stall. 3Verse 3. Then you will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day I am preparing,” says the LORD of Hosts. 4Verse 4. “Remember the law of My servant Moses, the statutes and ordinances I commanded him for all Israel at Horeb. 5Verse 5. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD. 6Verse 6. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. Otherwise, I will come and strike the land with a curse.”

1Verse 1. Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases. 2Verse 2. And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3Verse 3. “Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic. 4Verse 4. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area. 5Verse 5. If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.” 6Verse 6. So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
