Luke 24:28-35

English Standard Version

²⁸So they drew near to the village to which they were going. ^(A)He acted as if he were going farther, ²⁹but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and ^(B)the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. ³⁰When he was at table with them, he took the bread and ^(C)blessed and broke it and gave it to them. ³¹^(D)And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And ^(E)he vanished from their sight. ³²They said to each other, ^(F)“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he ^(G)opened to us the Scriptures?” ³³And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they ^(H)found the eleven and ^(I)those who were with them gathered together, ³⁴saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and ^(J)has appeared to Simon!” ³⁵Then they told what had happened on the road, and ^(K)how he was known to them in ^(L)the breaking of the bread.

Proverbs 29:15-27

English Standard Version

¹⁵^(A)The rod and reproof give wisdom,
    but a child left to himself ^(B)brings shame to his mother.
¹⁶When the wicked increase, transgression increases,
    but ^(C)the righteous will look upon their downfall.
¹⁷^(D)Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
    he will give delight to your heart.
¹⁸Where ^(E)there is no prophetic vision the people ^(F)cast off restraint,^[a]
    but blessed is he who ^(G)keeps the law.
¹⁹By mere words a servant is not disciplined,
    for though he understands, he will not respond.
²⁰Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
    ^(H)There is more hope for a fool than for him.
²¹Whoever pampers his servant from childhood
    will in the end find him his heir.^[b]
²²^(I)A man of wrath stirs up strife,
    and one given to anger causes much transgression.
²³^(J)One's pride will bring him low,
    ^(K)but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.
²⁴The partner of a thief ^(L)hates his own life;
    ^(M)he hears the curse, but discloses nothing.
²⁵^(N)The fear of man lays a snare,
    but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.
²⁶Many ^(O)seek the face of a ruler,
    but it is from the Lord that a man ^(P)gets justice.
²⁷^(Q)An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
    but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.
