Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
15 LORD, who shall dwell in Your Tabernacle? Who shall rest on Your Holy Mountain?
2 He who walks uprightly and works righteousness and speaks the truth in his heart;
3 he who does not slander with his tongue, nor do evil to his neighbor, nor receive a false report against his neighbor;
4 in whose eyes a vile person is despised; but honors those who fear the LORD. He who swears to his own injury yet does not change.
5 He who does not give his money to usury, nor takes reward against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. Michtam of David.
8 Then Moses quickly bowed himself to the earth, and worshipped,
9 and said, “O Lord, I pray—if I have found grace in Your sight—that the LORD would now go with us (for we are a stiff-necked people) and pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us for Your inheritance.”
10 And He answered, “Behold, I will make a covenant before all your people, and will do marvels such as have not been done in all the world, nor in all nations. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the LORD. For it is a fearful thing that I will do with you.
11 “Diligently keep that which I command you this day. Behold, I will cast out the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites before you.
12 “Guard yourself against making any compact with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest they become a snare among you.
13 “But you shall overthrow their altars and break their images in pieces and cut down their Asherim.
14 “For you shall bow down to no other god (because the LORD, Whose Name is Jealous, is a jealous God),
15 “Otherwise, you may make a compact with the inhabitants of the land. And when they go a-whoring after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, they may call you and you may eat from their sacrifice.
16 “Or, when you take their daughters for your sons, their daughters may go a- whoring after their gods and may make your sons go a-whoring after their gods.
17 “You shall make no gods of metal for yourself.
18 “You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. You shall eat unleavened bread for seven days (as I commanded you) during the month of Abib. For you came out of Egypt in the month of Abib.
19 “Every male that first opens the womb shall be Mine. Also, all the firstborn of your livestock shall be Mine, both cattle and sheep.
20 “But the first of the donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you do not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. And no one shall appear before Me empty.
21 “You shall work six days. And on the seventh day, you shall rest. You shall rest, both in earing time and in the harvest.
22 “Also, you shall observe the Feast of Weeks during the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year.
23 “Three times in a year, all your male children shall appear before the LORD, Jehovah, God of Israel.
24 “For I will dispossess the nations before you and enlarge your borders, so that no man shall covet your land when you shall come up to appear before the LORD your God three times in the year.
25 “You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, nor shall any of the sacrifice of the Feast of Passover be left until the morning.
26 “You shall bring the first ripe fruits of your land to the House of the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.”
27 And the LORD said to Moses, “Write these Words. For according to the tenor of these Words I have made a Covenant with you and with Israel.”
28 So, he was there with the LORD for forty days and forty nights, neither eating bread nor drinking water. And he wrote the Words of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments, on the Tablets.
28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the common hall. Now it was morning, and they themselves did not go into the common hall (so that they would not be defiled, and that they might eat the Passover).
29 Then Pilate went out to them, and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”
30 They answered, and said to him, “If He were not an evil doer, we would not have delivered Him to you.”
31 Then Pilate said to them, “Take Him, and judge Him after your own Law.” Then the Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,”
32 so that the Word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He spoke signifying what death He would die.
