  25 For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

  26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

  27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”

  28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.

  29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

  30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

  31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

  32 For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

  33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

  34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”

  35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

  36 For of him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

- Gospel

  Matthew 12:1–8

  **Show the text**

  1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

  2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”

  3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him;

  4 how he entered into God’s house, and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

  5 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbath day, the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are guiltless?

  6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.

  7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.

  8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
