17But in giving you this command I don’t praise you,because you come together not for the better but for the worse.18For first of all, when you come together in the assembly,I hear that divisions exist among you,and I partly believe it.19For there also must be factions among you,that those who are approved may be revealed among you.20When therefore you assemble yourselves together,it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.21For in your eating each one takes his own supper first.One is hungry, and another is drunken.22What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in?Or do you despise God’s assemblyand put them to shame who don’t have enough?What shall I tell you?Shall I praise you?In this I don’t praise you.

23For I received from the Lord thatwhich also I delivered to you,that the Lord Jesus on the night inwhich he was betrayed took bread.24When he had given thanks,he broke it and said, “Take, eat.This is my body, which is broken for you.Do this in memory of me.”25In the same way he also took the cup after supper,saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood.Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.”26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

7Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.You have opened my ears.You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.8Then I said, “Behold, I have come.It is written about me in the book in the scroll.

9I delight to do your will, my God.Yes, your law is within my heart.”

10I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.Behold, I will not seal my lips, Lord, you know.

17Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let the Lord be exalted!”

1After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people,he entered into Capernaum.2A certain centurion’s servant,who was dear to him,was sick and at the point of death.3When he heard about Jesus,he sent to him elders of the Jews,asking him to come and save his servant.4When they came to Jesus,they begged him earnestly,saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,5for he loves our nation,and he built our synagogue for us.”6Jesus went with them.When he was now not far from the house,the centurion sent friends to him,saying to him, “Lord,don’t trouble yourself,for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.7Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you;but say the word, and my servant will be healed.8For I also am a man placed under authority,having under myself soldiers.I tell this one, ‘Go!’and he goes;and to another, ‘Come!’and he comes;and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

9When Jesus heard these things,he marveled at him,and turned and said to the multitude who followed him,“I tell you, I have not found such great faith,no, not in Israel.”10Those who were sent,returning to the house,found that the servant who had been sick was well.
