<hr />
<span style="font-size: small;">19 And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus the
son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of
them that were ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias
came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">20 And he forthwith left the oxen and ran after
Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother,
and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back:
for that which was my part, I have done to thee.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">21 And returning back from him, he took a yoke of
oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the
oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up he went

<span style="font-size: small;">9 And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave:
and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him:
What dost thou here, Elias?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">11 And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the
mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and
strong wind before the Lord over throwing the mountains, and breaking
the rocks in pieces: the Lord is not in the wind, and after the wind
an earthquake: the Lord is not in the earthquake.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">12 And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not
in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">13 And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with
his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave,
and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And
he answered:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">14 With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of
hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant:
they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the
sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">15 And the Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy
way through the desert to Damascus: and when thou art come thither,
thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">16 And thou shalt anoint Jehu the son of Namsi to be

arose out of the sea like a man's foot. And he said: Go up and say to

behold the heavens grew dark, with clouds, and wind, and there fell a

<hr />
<span style="font-size: small;">20 Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and
gathered together the prophets unto mount Carmel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">21 And Elias coming to all the people, said: How long
do you halt between two sides? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if
Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">22 And Elias said again to the people: I only remain
a prophet of the Lord: but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and
fifty men.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">23 Let two bullocks be given us, and let them choose
one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces and lay it upon
wood, but put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and
lay it on wood, and put no fire under it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">24 Call ye on the names of your gods, and I will call
on the name of my Lord: and the God that shall answer by fire, let
him be God. And all the people answering said: A very good proposal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">25 Then Elias said to the prophets of Baal: Choose
you one bullock and dress it first, because you are many: and call on
the names of your gods, but put no fire under.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">26 And they took the bullock which he gave them, and
dressed it: and they called on the name of Baal from morning even
till noon, saying: O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any
that answered: and they leaped over the altar that they had made.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">27 And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them,
saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a God, and perhaps he is
talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep,
and must be awaked.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">28 So they cried with a loud voice, and cut
themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till they were
all covered with blood.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">29 And after midday was past, and while they were
prophesying, the time was come of offering sacrifice, and there was
no voice heard, nor did any one answer, nor regard them as they
prayed:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">30 Elias said to all the people: Come ye unto me. And
the people coming near unto him, he repaired the altar of the Lord,
that was broken down:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">31 And he took twelve stones according to the number
of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord
came, saying: Israel shall be thy name.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">32 And he built with the stones an altar to the name
of the Lord: and he made a trench for water, of the breadth of two
furrows round about the altar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">33 And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock
in pieces, and laid it upon the wood.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">34 And he said: Fill four buckets with water, and
pour it upon the burnt offering, and upon the wood. And again he
said: Do the same the second time. And when they had done it the
second time, he said: Do the same also the third time. And they did
so the third time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">35 And the water run round about the altar, and the
trench was filled with water.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">36 And when it was now time to offer the holocaust,
Elias the prophet came near and said: O Lord God of Abraham, and
Isaac, and Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and
I thy servant, and that according to thy commandment I have done all
these things.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me: that this people may
learn, that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their
heart again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the
holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up
the water that was in the trench.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">39 And when all the people saw this, they fell on
their faces, and they said: The Lord he is God, the Lord he is God.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">1 Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2 I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou
hast no need of my goods.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">4 Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they
made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood
offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my
cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">8 I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my
right hand, that I be not moved.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou
shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are
delights even to the end.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">17 Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or
the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">18 For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth

fulfilled.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">19 He therefore that shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in
the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.</span><br />
