Zechariah 1:17 ASV  Cry yet again, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity; and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Luke 2:25 ASV  And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

Epistle: Romans 13:8-12 ASV  Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.  9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  10  Love works no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.  11  And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.  12  The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
Matthew 21:1-11 ASV  And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,  2  saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.  3  And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them; and straightway he will send them.  4  Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,  5  Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King comes unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.  6  And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,  7  and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.  8  And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.  9  And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.  10  And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?  11  And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
