29And he instructed them, saying: “I am being gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 30opposite Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought, along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial. 31There they buried him, with his wife Sarah.” And there Isaac was buried with his wife Rebekah. There also Leah lies preserved. 32And having finished these commands by which he instructed his sons, he drew his feet onto the bed, and he passed away. And he was gathered to his people.
1Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Announce his works among the nations. 2Sing to him, and sing psalms to him. Describe all his wonders. 3Be praised in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice. 4Seek the Lord, and be confirmed. Seek his face always. 5Remember his miracles, which he has done, his portents and the judgments of his mouth: 6you offspring of Abraham his servant, you sons of Jacob his elect. 7He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout the entire earth.
24The disciple is not above the teacher, nor is the servant above his master. 25It is sufficient for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant, like his master. If they have called the Father of the family, ‘Beelzebub,’ how much more those of his household? 26Therefore, do not fear them. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed, nor hidden that shall not be known. 27What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light. And what you hear whispered in the ear, preach above the rooftops. 28And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But instead fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for one small coin? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father. 30For even the hairs of your head have all been numbered. 31Therefore, do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows. 32Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father, who is in heaven. 33But whoever will have denied me before men, I also will deny before my Father, who is in heaven.
