1I saw, and behold,the Lamb standing on Mount Zion,and with him a number,one hundred forty-four thousand,having his nameand the name of his Father written on their foreheads.2I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many watersand like the sound of a great thunder.The sound which I heard was likethat of harpists playing on their harps.3They sing a new song before the throneand before the four living creatures and the elders.No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand,those who had been redeemed out of the earth.4These are those who were not defiled with women,for they are virgins.These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes.These were redeemed by Jesus from among men,the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.5In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

1The earth is the Lord’s, with its fullness;the world, and those who dwell in it.2For he has founded it on the seas,and established it on the floods.

3Who may ascend to the Lord’s hill?Who may stand in his holy place?4He who has clean hands and a pure heart;who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood,and has not sworn deceitfully.

5He shall receive a blessing from the Lord,righteousness from the God of his salvation.6This is the generation of those who seek Him,who seek your face—even Jacob.

1He looked up and saw the rich peoplewho were putting their gifts into the treasury.2He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.3He said, “Truly I tell you,this poor widow put in more than all of them,4for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance,but she, out of her poverty,put in all that she had to live on.”
