his second year in Leipzig: In the cantata Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam, BWV 7, for St. John's Day (24 John 1724), a recitative referring to the command to baptise is set as an expressive arioso, accompanied by strings, similar to the words of Jesus in Bach's St Matthew Passion. In Jesu, der du meine Seele, BWV 78, (10 September 1724) a bass recitative is accompanied by strings, Die Wunden, Nägel, Kron und Grab ("The wounds, nails, crown and grave"), reminiscent of the vox Christi in Bach's St. Matthew Passion. In other cantatas of the second cycle: In the first movement of Ich bin ein guter Hirt, BWV 85, (15 April 1725), the bass sings "I am a good shepherd" from the Gospel. In the unusual first movement of Ihr werdet weinen und heulen, BWV 103, (22 April 1725), Bach inserted an almost operatic recitative of Jesus in the fugal choral singing. In the first movement of Es ist euch gut, daß ich hingehe, BWV 108, (29 April 1725), the bass sings a quote from the Gospel, "It is good for you that I leave". Jesus speaks twice in Bisher habt ihr nichts gebeten in meinem Namen, BWV 87, (6 May 1725), in movement 1 accompanied by strings, doubled by oboes, in movement 5 accompanied by the continuo: "In the world you have fear; however be comforted, I have conquered the world." In the first movement of Sie werden euch in den Bann tun, BWV 183, (13 May 1725), the announcement of Jesus from the second Farewell discourse is set as a recitative of only five measures, accompanied by long chords of the four oboes, two oboi da caccia and two oboi d'amore on a pedal point of the continuo, creating a "sepulchral" sound. The last four of these were on a libretto by Christiana Mariana von Ziegler From Bach's third cantata cycle (1725–1726): Selig ist der Mann, BWV 57, (26 December 1725) is a dialogue of the Anima and Jesus. The central movement of Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot, BWV 39, (23 June 1726) is a line from the Epistle to the Hebrews 13:16, Wohlzutun und mitzuteilen vergesset nicht ("To do good and to share, forget no"). Bach treats it, as if Jesus said the words himself, between arioso and aria. In Siehe, ich will viel Fischer aussenden, BWV 88 (21 July 1726, 5th Sunday after Trinity), the
