Jonah
3:1-5, 10
3:1 The word of the
LORD came to Jonah a second time, saying,
3:2
"Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it
the message that I tell you."
3:3
So Jonah set out and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the
LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three days'
walk across.
3:4
Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's walk. And he cried
out, "Forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!"
3:5
And the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast,
and everyone, great and small, put on sackcloth.
3:10
When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways,
God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would
bring upon them; and he did not do it.

Psalm
62:5-12
62:5 For God alone my
soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him.
62:6
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be
shaken.
62:7
On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my
refuge is in God.
62:8
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before
him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
62:9
Those of low estate are but a breath, those of high estate are a
delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter
than a breath.
62:10
Put no confidence in extortion, and set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
62:11
Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs
to God,
62:12
and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord. For you repay to all
according to their work.

Corinthians 7:29-31
7:29 I mean, brothers
and sisters, the appointed time has grown short; from now on, let
even those who have wives be as though they had none,
7:30
and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those
who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy
as though they had no possessions,
7:31
and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings
with it. For the present form of this world is passing away.

Mark
1:14-20
1:14 Now after John was
arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God,
1:15
and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God
has come near; repent, and believe in the good news."
1:16
As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his
brother Andrew casting a net into the sea--for they were
fishermen.
1:17
And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish
for people."
1:18
And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
1:19
As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his
brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets.
1:20
Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in
the boat with the hired men, and followed him.
