Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
103 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me! Praise His Holy Name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits!
3 Who forgives all your iniquity and heals all your infirmities.
4 Who redeems your life from the grave and crowns you with mercy and compassions.
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things; and your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all who are oppressed.
7 He made His ways known to Moses and His works to the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, slow to anger and of great kindness.
9 He will not always strive with us; nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heaven is above the Earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our sins from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
22 Praise the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion! My soul, praise the LORD!
53 “Therefore I will bring back their captives, with the captives of Sodom and her daughters, and with the captives of Samaria and her daughters, the captives of your captives, in the midst of them,
54 “so that you may bear your own shame and may be disgraced by all that you did when you comforted them.
55 “And your sister, Sodom, and her daughters, shall return to their former state. Samaria, also, and her daughters, shall return to their former state, when you and your daughters shall return to your former state.
56 “For your sister, Sodom, was not mentioned by you in the days of your pride,
57 “before your wickedness was uncovered. It was like the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, and of all the daughters of the Philistines all around her, who despise you in all directions.
58 “You have borne your wickedness and your abomination,” says the LORD.
59 ‘For thus says the Lord GOD: “I might even deal with you as you have done when you despised the oath in breaking the Covenant.
60 “Nevertheless, I will remember My Covenant with you in the days of your youth. And I will confirm an everlasting Covenant with you.
61 “Then you shall remember your ways and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, both elder and younger. And I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
62 “And I will establish My Covenant with you. And you shall know that I am the LORD,
63 “so that you may remember and be ashamed, and never again open your mouth because of your shame, when I am pacified toward you for all that you have done,” says the Lord GOD.’”
53 And each went to his own house.
8 But, Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning, He came into the Temple again. And all the people came to Him. And He sat down and taught them.
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery. And setting her in their midst,
4 they said to Him, “Master, we found this woman committing adultery, even in the very act.
5 “Now Moses, in our Law, commanded that such should be stoned. What do You say, therefore?”
6 Now they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote on the ground with His finger.
7 And while they continued asking Him, He lifted Himself up, and said to them, “Let the one among you without sin cast the first stone at her.”
8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 And when they heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, they went out, one by one, beginning at the eldest, until the last. And Jesus was left alone, with the woman, standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted Himself up again, and saw no one except the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Nor do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”
