Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
2 For they had departed from Rephidim and were come to the desert of Sinai and had pitched in the wilderness, and there Israel camped before the mount.
3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel:
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will give ear to hearken unto my voice and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a special treasure unto me above all peoples; for all the earth is mine.
6 And ye shall be my kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel.
7 Then Moses came and called for the elders of the people and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together and said, All that the LORD has spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
A Psalm of praise.
1 ¶ Make a joyful noise unto the LORD all the earth.
2 Serve the LORD with gladness; come before his presence with joy.
3 Know ye that the LORD he is God; it is he that has made us and not we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him and bless his name.
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations.
5 ¶ Justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ,
2 by whom we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and glory in hope of the glory of the sons of God.
3 And not only this, but we even glory in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation works patience;
4 and patience, experience; and experience, hope;
5 and the hope shall not be ashamed, because the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.
6 ¶ For the Christ, when we were yet weak, in his time died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die, yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God increased the price of his charity toward us in that while we were yet sinners the Christ died for us.
35 ¶ And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every sickness and every weakness among the people.
36 And when he saw the multitude, he was moved with compassion on them because they fainted and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then he said unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
10 ¶ Then calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of weakness.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: the first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee and John his brother;
3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Canaanite and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 ¶ These twelve Jesus sent forth and commanded them, saying, Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans,
6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has come.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons; freely ye have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold nor silver nor money in your girdles,
10 nor bag for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes nor a staff, for the workman is worthy of his food.
11 And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, search out with diligence who in it is worthy; and there abide until ye go from there.
12 And entering into the house, salute it.
13 And if the house is worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it is not worthy, your peace shall return to you.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear your words, depart out of that house or city and shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of those of Sodom and those of Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 ¶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore prudent as serpents and innocent as doves.
17 But keep yourselves from men, for they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 and ye shall even be brought before princes and kings for my sake, for testimony unto them and to the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak, for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 And brother shall deliver up brother unto death, and the father the child, and children shall rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name, but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another, for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come.
