Season of Annunciation

1	O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?
2	Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
3	Are you so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh?
4	Did you experience so many things in vain? -- if it really is in vain.
5	Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
6	Thus Abraham "believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."
7	So you see that it is men of faith who are the sons of Abraham.
8	And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed."
9	So then, those who are men of faith are blessed with Abraham who had faith.

57	As they were going along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58	And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head."
59	To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."
60	But he said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
61	Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home."
62	Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
