Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
107 Praise the LORD, because He is good; for His mercy endures forever.
2 Let those who have been redeemed by the LORD show how He has delivered them from the hand of the oppressor—
3 and gathered them out of the lands—from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
33 He turns the floods to a wilderness, the springs of waters into dryness,
34 a fruitful land into barrenness, because of the wickedness of those who dwell therein.
35 He turns the wilderness into pools of water, and the dry land into water springs.
36 And there He places the hungry; and they build a city in which to dwell,
37 and sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which bring forth fruitful increase.
38 For He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly; and He does not diminish their cattle.
39 Again, they are diminished and brought low by oppression, evil and sorrow.
40 He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to err in desert places, out of the way.
41 Yet he raises up the poor out of misery and makes families, like a flock of sheep.
42 The righteous shall see it and rejoice; and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Who is wise? Let him observe these things and understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
55 Ho, everyone who thirsts! Come to the waters! And you who have no silver, come, buy and eat! Come, I say! Buy wine and milk without silver and without money!
2 “Why do you lay out silver that is not for bread, and your labor without being satisfied? Listen diligently to Me and eat that which is good. And let your soul delight in fatness.
3 “Incline your ears and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live. And I will make an everlasting Covenant with you, the enduring mercies of David.
4 “Behold, I gave him as a witness to the people, for a prince and a master to the people.
5 “Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know. And a nation that did not know you shall run to you because of the LORD your God, and the Holy One of Israel. For He has glorified you.
6 “Seek the LORD while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near.
7 “Let the wicked forsake His ways, and the unrighteous his own imaginations, and return to the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and return to our God, for He is very ready to forgive.
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts above your thoughts.
8 In those days, when there was a very great multitude and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
3 “And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they would faint on the way.” For some of them came from far away.
4 Then His disciples answered Him, “How can we give them bread here in the wilderness?”
5 And He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
6 Then He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks; broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them. And they set them before the people.
7 They had also a few small fishes. And when He had given thanks, He commanded them also to be set before them.
8 So they ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left.
9 And those who had eaten were about four thousand. So, He sent them away.
10 And soon, He entered into a ship with His disciples and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
