Come, all you who are thirsty,
    come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
    come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk

Why spend money on what is not bread,
    and your labor on what does not satisfy?

    and you will delight in the richest of fare.
Give ear and come to me;
    listen, that you may live.

I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”
