Gospel: Matthew 18:1-5, 10

1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"

2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them,

3 and said, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

10 See that you don't despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Zechariah 8:1-8

1 The word of the LORD of Armies came to me.

2 the LORD of Armies says: "I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath."

3 the LORD says: "I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called 'The City of Truth;' and the mountain of the LORD of Armies, 'The Holy Mountain.'"

4 the LORD of Armies says: "Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets."

6 the LORD of Armies says: "If it is marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvellous in my eyes?" says the LORD of Armies.

7 the LORD of Armies says: "Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;

8 and I will bring them, and they will dwell within Jerusalem; and they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness."
