The Book of the Prophet Jonah 3: 1-10

3:1	And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, sê:
3:2	Rise, and go to Nineveh, the great city. And preach in it the preaching that I say to you.
3:3	And Jonah rose, and he went to Nineveh in accordance with the word of the Lord. And Nineveh was a great city of three days’ journey.
3:4	And Jonah began to enter into the city one day’s journey. En hy het uitgeroep en gesê, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed.”
3:5	And the men of Nineveh believed in God. And they proclaimed a fast, and they put on sackcloth, from the greatest all the way to the least.
3:6	And word reached the king of Nineveh. And he rose from his throne, and he threw off his robe from himself and was clothed in sackcloth, and he sat in ashes.
3:7	And he cried out and spoke: “In Nineveh, from the mouth of the king and of his princes, let it be said: Men and beasts and oxen and sheep may not taste anything. Neither shall they feed or drink water.
3:8	And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and let them cry out to the Lord with strength, and may man be converted from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands.
3:9	Who knows if God may turn and forgive, and may turn away from his furious wrath, so that we might not perish?”
3:10	And God saw their works, that they had been converted from their evil way. And God took pity on them, concerning the harm that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

Die eerste brief van Paulus aan die Korintiërs 7: 29-31

7:29	En so, dit is wat ek sê, broers: Die tyd is min. Wat daarvan oorbly is so dat: die wat vroue het, moet wees asof hulle geen het nie;
7:30	en die wat ween, asof hulle nie huil nie; en die wat bly is, asof hulle nie jubel nie; en die wat koop, asof hulle niks besit nie;
7:31	en die wat die dinge van hierdie wêreld gebruik, asof hulle dit nie gebruik nie. Want die figuur van hierdie wêreld gaan verby.

 

Evangelie

Die Heilige Evangelie volgens Mark 1: 14-20

1:14	Toe, nadat John oorhandig is, Jesus het na Galilea gegaan, verkondig die Evangelie van die koninkryk van God,
1:15	en sê: “Want die tyd is vervul en die koninkryk van God het naby gekom. Bekeer julle en glo in die Evangelie.”
1:16	En verby die kus van die See van Galilea, hy het Simon en sy broer Andreas gesien, nette in die see uitgooi, want hulle was vissers.
1:17	En Jesus sê vir hulle, “Kom agter my aan, en Ek sal julle vissers van mense maak.”
1:18	En dadelik hul nette laat vaar, hulle het hom gevolg.
1:19	En gaan voort op 'n entjie van daar af, hy het Jakobus van Sebedeus en sy broer Johannes gesien, en hulle was besig om hul nette in 'n skuit reg te maak.
1:20	En dadelik het hy hulle geroep. En hulle vader Sebedeus in die skuit met sy huurhande agtergelaat, hulle het hom gevolg.
