Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
17 And after these things, the son of the wife of the house fell sick. And his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
18 And she said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, O you man of God? Have you come to me to call my sin to remembrance, and to kill my son?”
19 And he said to her, “Give me your son.” And he took him out of her bosom and carried him up into a chamber where he was staying and laid him upon his own bed.
20 Then he called to the LORD, and said, “O LORD, my God! Have You also punished this widow with whom I sojourn by killing her son?”
21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times and called to the LORD, and said, “O LORD my God! I pray, let this child’s soul come into him again.”
22 Then the LORD heard the voice of Elijah. And the soul of the child came into him again. And he revived.
23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down, out of the chamber, into the house, and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, “Behold, your son lives.”
24 And the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the Word of the LORD in your mouth is true!”
30 I will magnify You, O LORD. You have exalted me and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD, my God, I cried to You; and You have restored me.
3 O LORD, You have brought up my soul out of the grave. You have revived me from those who go down into the pit.
4 Sing praises to the LORD, His Saints, and give thanks before the remembrance of His Holiness.
5 For His anger endures but a while. In His favor is life. Weeping may abide at evening, but joy comes in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity, I said, “I shall never be moved.”
7 For You, LORD, from Your goodness, had made my mountain to stand strong. You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
8 Then I cried to You, O LORD, and prayed to my LORD.
9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit! Shall the dust give thanks to You? Or shall it declare Your Truth?
10 Hear, O LORD; and have mercy upon me. LORD, be my Helper.
11 You have turned my mourning into joy. You have loosened my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.
12 Therefore, my tongue shall praise You, and not cease. O LORD, my God, I will give thanks to You forever. To him who excels: A Psalm of David.
11 Now let it be known, brothers, that the Gospel which was preached by me, is not according to man.
12 Neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For you have heard of my former way of life in the Jewish religion; how I persecuted the Church of God extremely, and destroyed it,
14 And advanced in the Jewish religion above many of my countrymen and was much more devoted to the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God (who had set me apart from my mother’s womb, and called me by His grace)
16 To reveal his Son in me; that I should preach Him among the Gentiles immediately. I did not communicate with flesh and blood.
17 Nor did I return to Jerusalem, to those who were Apostles before me. But I went into Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
18 Then, after three years, I came again to Jerusalem, to visit Peter; and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 And I saw no other Apostle except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 Now the things which I write to you, behold, I testify before God, that I do not lie.
21 After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. For I was unknown by face to the Churches of Judea which are in Christ,
22 Who had only heard some say, “He who formerly persecuted us, now preaches the faith which before he destroyed.”
23 And they glorified God in me.
11 And it happened that the next day, He went into a city called Nain. And many of His disciples went with Him, and a great multitude.
12 Now when He came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out - the only begotten son of his mother, who was a widow - and many people of the city were with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her, and said to her, “Do not weep.”
14 And He went and touched the coffin. And those who bore him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, ‘Arise.’”
15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak. And He gave him to his mother.
16 Then a fear came upon them all. And they glorified God, saying, “A great Prophet is risen among us! And God has visited His people!”
17 And this word of Him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the surrounding region.
