Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
107 1 The Prophet exhorteth all those that are redeemed by the Lord and gathered unto him, to give thanks, 9 for this merciful providence of God governing all things at his good pleasures, 20 sending good and evil, prosperity and adversity to bring men unto him. 42 Therefore as the righteous thereat rejoice, so shall the wicked have their mouth stopped.
1 Praise [a]the Lord, because he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.
2 Let them, [b]which have been redeemed of the Lord, show how he hath delivered them from the hand of the oppressor,
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the East and from the West, from the North and from the [c]South.
23 They that go down to the [a]sea in ships, and occupy by the great waters,
24 They see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind, and it lifteth up the waves thereof.
26 They mount up to the heaven, and descend to the deep, so that their soul [b]melteth for trouble.
27 They are tossed to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and all their [c]cunning is gone.
28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distress.
29 He turneth the storm to calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 When they are [d]quieted, they are glad, and he bringeth them unto the haven, where they would be.
31 Let them therefore confess before the Lord his loving kindness, and his wonderful works before the sons of men.
32 And let them exalt him in the [e]congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the Elders.
29 1 Job complaineth of the prosperity of the time past. 7, 21 His authority. 22 Justice and equity.
1 So Job proceeded, and continued his parable, saying,
2 Oh that I were as [a]in times past, when God preserved me!
3 When his [b]light shined upon mine head: and when by his light I walked through the [c]darkness,
4 As I was in the days of my youth: when [d]God’s providence was upon my tabernacle:
5 When the Almighty was yet with me, and my children round about me:
6 when I washed my paths [e]with butter, and when the rock poured me out rivers of oil:
7 When I went out to the gate, even to the judgment seat, and when I caused them to prepare my seat in the street.
8 The young men saw me, and [f]hid themselves, and the aged arose, and stood up.
9 The princes stayed talk, and laid their hand on their [g]mouth.
10 The voice of princes was hid, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11 And when the [h]ear heard me, it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to [i]me.
12 For I delivered the [j]poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13 [k]The blessing of him that was ready to perish, came upon me, and I caused the widow’s heart to rejoice.
14 I put [l]on justice, and it covered me: my judgment was as a robe, and a crown.
15 I was the eyes to the blind, and I was the feet to the lame.
16 I was a father unto the poor, and when I knew not the cause, I sought it out diligently.
17 I brake also the jaws of the unrighteous man, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
18 Then I said, I shall die in my [m]nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19 For my root is [n]spread out by the water, and the dew shall lie upon my branch.
20 My glory shall renew toward me, and my bow shall be restored in mine hand.
20 1 Paul appointed to go to Macedonia: 7 In Troas preaching until midnight, 9 Eutychus fell down dead out of a window, 10 he raised him to life: 15 At Miletus, 17 Having called the Elders of Ephesus together, 23 he declareth what things shall come upon himself, 28 and others.
1 Now [a]after the tumult was appeased, Paul called the disciples unto him, and embraced them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
2 And when he had gone through those parts, and had exhorted them with [b]many words, he came into Greece.
3 [c]And having tarried there three months, because the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
4 And there accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of them of Thessalonica, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and of them of Asia, Tychicus, and Trophimus.
5 These went before, and tarried us at Troas.
6 And we sailed forth from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.
7 [d]And the [e]first day of the week, the disciples being come together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow, and continued the preaching unto midnight.
8 [f]And there were many lights in an upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
9 And there sat in a window a certain young man, named Eutychus, fallen into a dead sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he overcome with sleep, fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
10 But Paul went down, and laid himself upon him, and embraced him, saying, Trouble not yourselves: for his life is in him.
11 Then when Paul was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, having spoken a long while till the dawning of the day, he so departed.
12 And they brought the boy alive, and they were not a little comforted.
13 ¶ Then we went before to ship, and sailed unto the city Assos, that we might receive Paul there: for so had he appointed, and would himself go afoot.
14 Now when he was come unto us to Assos, and we had received him, we came to Mitylene.
15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium: the next day we came to Miletus.
16 [g]For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted to be, if he could possible, at Jerusalem, at the day of Pentecost.
