¹⁷And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

²⁰And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

²¹And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

²²But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

⁷I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

⁸And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

⁹And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

⁸And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

⁹And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

¹⁰Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

⁸And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

⁴¹And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

⁵³And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

⁴⁶And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

⁴⁷Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

⁸And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

²²And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

²³Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

²⁴But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

¹⁴And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.

¹⁸When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

²²Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

²³Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

³And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

¹³Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

⁶Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

³²That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

¹⁸For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

⁴Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

¹⁹For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

²⁰For ye are our glory and joy.

⁹For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;

⁷For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

⁹Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

⁵That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?

¹³Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
