Matthew 4:18-25\n18\xa0As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19\xa0\u201cCome, follow me,\u201d Jesus said, \u201cand I will send you out to fish for people.\u201d 20\xa0At once they left their nets and followed him.21\xa0Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22\xa0and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.23\xa0Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24\xa0News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. 25\xa0Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.\n\nMatthew 9:35-38\n35\xa0Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36\xa0When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37\xa0Then he said to his disciples, \u201cThe harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38\xa0Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.\u201d\n\nMatthew 16:24-28\n24\xa0Then Jesus said to his disciples, \u201cWhoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25\xa0For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26\xa0What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27\xa0For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father\u2019s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.28\xa0\u201cTruly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.\u201d\n\n1 Corinthians 13: 4-7\n4\xa0Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5\xa0It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6\xa0Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7\xa0It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.\n\nMatthew 28:16-20\n16\xa0Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17\xa0When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18\xa0Then Jesus came to them and said, \u201cAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19\xa0Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20\xa0and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.\u201d
