“So don’t worry about these things,
saying,
‘What will we eat?
What will we drink?
What will we wear?
These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers,
but your heavenly Father always knows all your needs.
Seek the Kingdom of God
above all else,
and live righteously,
and he will give you everything you need.”
“You have heard the law that says,
‘Love your neighbor’
and hate your enemy.
But I say,
love your enemies!
Pray for those who persecute you!
In that way,
you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven.
For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good,
and he sends rain on the just and unjust alike.”
After his baptism,
as Jesus came up out of the water,
the heavens were opened
and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove
and settling on him.
And a voice from heaven said,
“This is my dearly loved Son,
who brings me great joy.”
