The Letter to the Hebrews 10: 32-39

10:32	But call to mind the former days, di mana, after being enlightened, you endured a great struggle of afflictions.
10:33	Dan tentu saja, in one way, by insults and tribulations, you were made a spectacle, but in another way, you became the companions of those who were the object of such behavior.
10:34	For you even had compassion on those who were imprisoned, and you accepted with gladness being deprived of your goods, knowing that you have a better and more lasting substance.
10:35	Dan sebagainya, do not lose your confidence, which has a great reward.
10:36	For it is necessary for you to be patient, sehingga, by doing the will of God, you may receive the promise.
10:37	“For, in a little while, and somewhat longer, he who is to come will return, and he will not delay.
10:38	For my just man lives by faith. But if he were to draw himself back, he would not please my soul.”
10:39	Sehingga kemudian, we are not sons who are drawn away to perdition, but we are sons of faith toward the securing of the soul.

Injil

The Holy Gospel According to Mark 4: 26-34

4:26	Dan dia berkata: “The kingdom of God is like this: it is as if a man were to cast seed on the land.
4:27	And he sleeps and he arises, malam dan hari. And the seed germinates and grows, meskipun dia tidak mengetahuinya.
4:28	Karena bumi siap berbuah: pertama tanaman, kemudian telinga, berikutnya biji-bijian penuh di telinga.
4:29	Dan ketika buah telah dihasilkan, segera dia mengirimkan sabit, karena panen telah tiba.”
4:30	Dan dia berkata: “Dengan apa kita harus membandingkan kerajaan Allah? Atau perumpamaan apa yang harus kita bandingkan?
4:31	Itu seperti sebutir biji sesawi yang, ketika telah ditaburkan di bumi, kurang dari semua benih yang ada di bumi.
4:32	Dan saat ditaburkan, itu tumbuh dan menjadi lebih besar dari semua tanaman, dan menghasilkan cabang-cabang besar, sedemikian rupa sehingga burung-burung di udara dapat hidup di bawah bayang-bayangnya.”
4:33	Dan dengan banyak perumpamaan seperti itu dia mengucapkan kata itu kepada mereka, sebanyak yang mereka bisa dengar.
4:34	Tetapi dia tidak berbicara kepada mereka tanpa perumpamaan. Padahal terpisah, dia menjelaskan semua hal kepada murid-muridnya.
