Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her,
11 “So that you may nurse and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolation. So that you may drink deeply and be delighted with the brightness of her glory.”
12 For thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will extend peace over her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream. Then shall you suck. You shall be born upon her sides and be joyful upon her knees.
13 “As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you. And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”
14 And when you see this, your hearts shall rejoice. And your bones shall flourish like grass. And the hand of the LORD shall be known among His servants, and His indignation against His enemies.
66 Rejoice in God, all the Earth!
2 Sing forth the Glory of His Name! Make His praise glorious!
3 Say to God, “How terrible are You in Your works! Through the greatness of Your power shall Your enemies be in subjection to You.
4 “All the world shall worship You and sing to You. Sing of Your Name!” Selah.
5 Come and behold the works of God. He is terrible in His doings toward the sons of men.
6 He has turned the sea into dry land. They passed through the river on foot. We rejoiced in Him there.
7 He rules the world with His power. His eyes behold the nations. The rebellious shall not exalt themselves. Selah.
8 Praise our God, you people, and make the voice of His praise heard.
9 He holds our souls in life and does not let our feet slip.
6 Brothers, even if a man should be overcome in some offense, you who are spiritual restore such one with the spirit of humility, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted.
2 Bear one another’s burden, and so fulfill the Law of Christ.
3 For if anyone seems to himself something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 But let everyone test his own work. And then shall he boast in himself only and not in another.
5 For everyone shall bear his own burden.
6 Let the one who is taught in the Word make the one who has taught him a partaker of all good things.
7 Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.
8 For the one who sows to his flesh, shall reap destruction of the flesh. But the one who sows to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 Let us not, therefore, be weary of well-doing. For in due season we shall reap, if we do not grow weary.
10 Therefore, while we have time, let us do good to all; and now especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
11 You see how large the letters are which I have written to you with my own hand.
12 As many as desire to have a fair appearance in the flesh, they urge you to be circumcised, only because they would not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For they themselves who are circumcised do not keep the Law, but desire to have you circumcised, so that they might boast in your flesh.
14 But may it never be that I should boast in anything but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; whereby the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world!
15 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace shall be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
10 After these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others and sent them, two by two, before Him into every city and place where He Himself would come.
2 And He said to them, “The harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the Harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.
3 “Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4 “Carry no money bag, nor sack, nor shoes, and greet no one on the way.
5 “And into whatever house you enter, say first, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 “And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him. If not, it shall return to you again.
7 “And remain in that same house, eating and drinking what they give. For the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
8 “But into whatever city you shall enter, if they receive you, eat what is set before you,
9 “and heal the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’
10 “But in whatever city you enter, if they will not receive you, go out into the streets of that city, and say,
11 “‘Even the very dust of your city, which clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless, know this: that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’
16 “The one who hears you, hears Me. And the one who despises you, despises Me. And the one who despises Me, despises Him Who sent Me.”
17 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us through Your Name!”
18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall down, like lightning, from Heaven.
19 “Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. And nothing shall hurt you.
20 “Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this: that the spirits obey you. But rather, rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.”
