After
these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision,
“Do
not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be
very great.”
But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give
me,
for I continue childless, and the heir of my

darkness descended upon him.
When
the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking fire pot
and a flaming torch passed between these
pieces. On that day the
Lord
made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I give this land, from

At
that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away
from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” He said to them, “Go and tell that fox for
me, ‘Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures
today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish
my work. Yet today,
tomorrow, and the
next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed
