Book of Common Prayer
16 1 And I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour-out the seven bowls of the fury of God into the earth”.
2 And the first went and poured out his bowl into the land[a]— and a bad and evil sore came upon the people having the mark of the beast and the ones giving worship to his image.
3 And the second poured out his bowl into the sea— and it became blood like of a dead man. And every soul of life died— the things in the sea.
4 And the third poured-out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters— and it[b] became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous[c], the One Who is and Who was[d], the holy One, because You judged these things. 6 Because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They are worthy[e] of it ”. 7 And I heard a voice from the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God Almighty, Your judgments are true and righteous”.
8 And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun— and authority was given to it to scorch the people with fire. 9 And the people were scorched with a great scorching-heat. And they blasphemed the name of God, the One having the authority over these plagues. And they did not repent so as to give Him glory.
10 And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast— and his kingdom became darkened. And they were biting their tongues because-of the pain. 11 And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains, and because of their sores. And they did not repent from their works.
Jesus Heals a Woman On The Sabbath. The Synagogue Official Objects
10 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath, 11 and behold— there was a woman having a spirit of [a] infirmity eighteen years. And she was bending-over, and not being able to bend-up completely. 12 And having seen her, Jesus called to her and said to her, “Woman, you have been released from your infirmity”. 13 And He laid His hands on her. And at-once she was made-straight. And she was glorifying God. 14 But having responded, the synagogue official— being indignant because Jesus cured on the Sabbath— was saying to the crowd that “There are six days on which one ought-to work. So be cured while coming on them, and not on the day of the Sabbath”. 15 But the Lord responded to him and said, “Hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath release his ox or donkey from the manger[b], and having led it away, water it? 16 But this one, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for behold, ten and eight years— ought she not to have been released from this bond on the day of the Sabbath?” 17 And while He was saying these things, all the ones being opposed to Him were being put-to-shame.
