Psalm 106^(A)

¹Praise the Lord.^[a]^(B)

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;^(C)
his love endures forever.^(D)

²Who can proclaim the mighty acts^(E) of the Lord
or fully declare his praise?
³Blessed are those who act justly,^(F)
who always do what is right.^(G)

⁴Remember me,^(H) Lord, when you show favor^(I) to your people,
    come to my aid^(J) when you save them,
⁵that I may enjoy the prosperity^(K) of your chosen ones,^(L)
    that I may share in the joy^(M) of your nation
    and join your inheritance^(N) in giving praise.

⁶We have sinned,^(O) even as our ancestors^(P) did;
we have done wrong and acted wickedly.^(Q)

Psalm 106:19-23

New International Version

¹⁹At Horeb they made a calf^(A)
    and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
²⁰They exchanged their glorious God^(B)
    for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
²¹They forgot the God^(C) who saved them,
    who had done great things^(D) in Egypt,
²²miracles in the land of Ham^(E)
    and awesome deeds^(F) by the Red Sea.
²³So he said he would destroy^(G) them—
    had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach^(H) before him
    to keep his wrath from destroying them.

¹²The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone^(A) with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”

¹³Then Moses set out with Joshua^(B) his aide, and Moses went up on the mountain^(C) of God. ¹⁴He said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we come back to you. Aaron and Hur^(D) are with you, and anyone involved in a dispute^(E) can go to them.”

¹⁵When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud^(F) covered it, ¹⁶and the glory^(G) of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai.^(H) For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from within the cloud.^(I) ¹⁷To the Israelites the glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire^(J) on top of the mountain. ¹⁸Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty^(K) days and forty nights.^(L)

New International Version

Jesus Questioned About Fasting^(A)

¹⁸Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting.^(B) Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?”

¹⁹Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. ²⁰But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them,^(C) and on that day they will fast.

²¹“No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. ²²And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
