The Book of the Prophet Isaiah 6: 1-8

6:1In the year in which king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, sublime and exalted, and the things that were under him filled the temple.
6:2The Seraphims were standing above the throne. One had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they were covering his face, and with two they were covering his feet, and with two they were flying.
6:3And they were crying out to one another, and saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!”
6:4And the lintels above the hinges were shaken at the voice of the one crying out. Na ki tonu te whare i te paowa.
6:5Na ka mea ahau: Aue te mate moku! i noho wahangu hoki ahau. He tangata ngutu poke hoki ahau, e noho ana ahau i waenganui i te iwi ngutu poke, kua kite ano oku kanohi i te Kingi, te Ariki o nga mano!”
6:6Na ka rere mai tetahi o nga Herapima ki ahau, i tona ringa ano he waro kapura, i tangohia e ia ki te kokopi i te aata.
6:7Na ka pa ia ki toku mangai, ka mea ia, « Inaha, kua pa tenei ki ou ngutu, a ka riro o koutou he, e e tamâhia ta outou hara.”
6:8Na ka rongo ahau i te reo o te Ariki, e korero ana: “Ko wai taku e unga ai?” me, "Ko wai ka haere mo tatou?Na ka mea ahau: “Tenei ahau. Send me.”

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 10: 24- 31

10:24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus, answering again, ka mea ki a ratou: “Little sons, how difficult it is for those who trust in money to enter into the kingdom of God!
10:25It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God.”
10:26And they wondered even more, saying among themselves, “Who, katahi, can be saved?”
10:27And Jesus, gazing at them, ka mea: “With men it is impossible; but not with God. For with God all things are possible.”
10:28And Peter began to say to him, « Inaha, we have left all things and have followed you.”
10:29In response, Jesus said: “Amen I say to you, There is no one who has left behind house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, for my sake and for the Gospel,
10:30who will not receive one hundred times as much, now in this time: houses, me nga tuakana, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land, with persecutions, and in the future age eternal life.
10:31But many of the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”
