Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁴⁶ And Mary said, `My soul doth magnify the Lord,

⁴⁷ And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,

⁴⁸ Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,

⁴⁹ For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is] His name,

⁵⁰ And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,

⁵¹ He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,

⁵² He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,

⁵³ The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,

⁵⁴ He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,

⁵⁵ As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed -- to the age.'

2 And Hannah prayeth, and saith: `My heart hath exulted in Jehovah, My horn hath been high in Jehovah, My mouth hath been large over mine enemies, For I have rejoiced in Thy salvation.

² There is none holy like Jehovah, For there is none save Thee, And there is no rock like our God.

³ Ye multiply not -- ye speak haughtily -- The old saying goeth out from your mouth, For a God of knowledge [is] Jehovah, And by Him actions are weighed.

⁴ Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on strength.

⁵ The satiated for bread hired themselves, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren hath borne seven, And she abounding with sons hath languished.

⁶ Jehovah putteth to death, and keepeth alive, He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.

⁷ Jehovah dispossesseth, and He maketh rich, He maketh low, yea, He maketh high.

⁸ He raiseth from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He lifteth up the needy, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Yea, a throne of honour He doth cause them to inherit, For to Jehovah [are] the fixtures of earth, And He setteth on them the habitable world.

⁹ The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.

¹⁰ Jehovah -- broken down are His adversaries, Against them in the heavens He thundereth: Jehovah judgeth the ends of earth, And giveth strength to His king, And exalteth the horn of His anointed.'

11 And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

² and saith to them, `Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring [it]:

³ and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.'

⁴ And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,

⁵ and certain of those standing there said to them, `What do ye -- loosing the colt?'

⁶ and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.

⁷ And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,

⁸ and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.

⁹ And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, `Hosanna! blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord;

¹⁰ blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.'

¹¹ And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.
