¹² Go and proclaim these words toward ^(A)the north, and say:

^36 (A)But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were ^[a]weary and scattered, ^(B)like sheep having no shepherd.

³⁹ For the promise is to you and ^(A)to your children, and ^(B)to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

¹⁷ And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.
