Jesus said to them, "Follow Me..."

Isaiah 51:1-3

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Lord Comforts Zion

“Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness,

You who seek the Lord:

Look to the rock from which you were hewn,

And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.

² 

Look to Abraham your father,

And to Sarah who bore you;

For I called him alone,

And blessed him and increased him.”

³ 

For the Lord will comfort Zion,

He will comfort all her waste places;

He will make her wilderness like Eden,

And her desert like the garden of the Lord;

Joy and gladness will be found in it,

Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.
