And it happened, as he was going to Jerusalem, that he was passing between Samaria and Galilee. And as he was entering into a certain village, ten leprous men met him, who stood at a distance. And they raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” And seeing them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed. And one of them, seeing that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him; and he was a Samaritan.

So you also have sorrow now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy from you.

Going he goes and weeping, the one who carries the bag of seed; coming he will come with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves.

And he said to them, “Go, eat rich fatty foods and drink sweet drinks, and send portions to the one for whom nothing is prepared, for holy is the day to our Lord; and do not be grieved, for the joy of YHWH is your stronghold.” And the Levites were quieting all the people, saying, “Be still, for the day is holy; and do not be grieved.” And all the people went to eat and to drink and to send portions and to make great rejoicing, because they had understood the words that they had made known to them.

And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes into the house, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who changes his mind than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of a change of mind.

And YHWH Tsevaot will make for all the peoples on this mountain a feast of rich foods, a feast of aged wines, of rich foods full of marrow, of aged wines well refined. And he will swallow up on this mountain the surface of the veil, the veil that is over all the peoples, and the covering that is spread over all the nations. He will swallow up death forever, and Adonai YHWH will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will remove from all the earth, for YHWH has spoken. And one will say on that day, “Look, this is our Elohim; we have waited for him, and he will save us. This is YHWH; we have waited for him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

And on the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus too was invited to the wedding, and his disciples. And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus says to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus says to her, “What is that to me and to you, woman? My hour has not yet come.” His mother says to the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.” Now there were six stone water jars standing there for the purification of the Jews, each holding two or three measures. Jesus says to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And he says to them, “Draw some now and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. When the master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast calls the bridegroom and says to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, the poorer wine; you have kept the good wine until now.” This Jesus did as the beginning of his signs in Cana of Galilee, and he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

It was reported to King David, saying, “YHWH has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, for the sake of the ark of Elohim.” So David went and brought up the ark of Elohim from the house of Obed-edom to the city of David with joy. And it happened that when those carrying the ark of YHWH had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened animal. David was dancing with all his strength before YHWH, and David was girded with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of YHWH with acclamation and with the sound of the horn.

And I heard what sounded like the voice of a great crowd and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord God the Almighty has begun to reign. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him the glory, because the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his wife has prepared herself. And it was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and pure; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” And he says to me, “Write: Happy are those who have been invited to the supper of the wedding of the Lamb.” And he says to me, “These are the true words of God.”
