Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
9 Then you will (A)call, and Yahweh will answer;
You will cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you (B)remove the [a]yoke from your midst,
The [b](C)pointing of the finger and (D)speaking wickedness,
10 And if you [c](E)offer your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the soul of the afflicted,
Then your (F)light will rise in darkness
And your thick darkness will become like midday.
11 And (G)Yahweh will continually guide you,
And (H)satisfy your soul in scorched places,
And (I)fortify your bones;
And you will be like a (J)watered garden,
And like a (K)spring of water whose waters do not [d]fail.
12 Those from among you will (L)rebuild the ancient waste places;
You will (M)raise up the foundations of past generation upon generation;
And you will be called the repairer of the (N)breach,
The restorer of the paths for one to inhabit.
Keeping the Sabbath
13 “If because of the sabbath, you (O)turn your foot
From doing your own desire on My holy day,
And call the sabbath a (P)delight, the holy day of Yahweh honorable,
And honor it, by not doing your (Q)own ways,
By not finding your own desire
And (R)speaking your own word,
14 Then you will take (S)delight in Yahweh,
And I will make you ride (T)on the heights of the earth;
And I will feed you with the inheritance of Jacob your father,
For the (U)mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
Bless Yahweh, O My Soul
Of David.
103 (A)Bless Yahweh, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His (B)holy name.
2 Bless Yahweh, O my soul,
And (C)forget none of His benefits;
3 Who (D)pardons all your iniquities,
Who (E)heals all your diseases;
4 Who (F)redeems your life from the pit,
Who (G)crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
5 Who (H)satisfies your [a]years with good things,
So that your youth is (I)renewed like the eagle.
Contrast of Sinai and Zion
18 (A)For you have not come to (B)a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind, 19 and to the (C)blast of a trumpet and the (D)sound of words which was such that those who heard (E)begged that no further word be spoken to them. 20 For they could not bear what was being commanded, “(F)If even a beast touches the mountain, it will be stoned.” 21 And so terrible was what appeared, that Moses said, “(G)I am full of fear and trembling.” 22 But (H)you have come to Mount Zion and to (I)the city of (J)the living God, (K)the heavenly Jerusalem, and to (L)myriads of [a]angels, 23 to the festal gathering and (M)assembly of the firstborn who (N)are enrolled in heaven, and to God, (O)the Judge of all, and to the (P)spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, the (Q)mediator of a new covenant, and to the (R)sprinkled blood, which speaks better than (S)the blood of Abel.
An Unshakable Kingdom
25 (T)See to it that you do not refuse Him who is (U)speaking. For (V)if those did not escape when they (W)refused him who (X)warned them on earth, [b]much less will we escape who turn away from Him who (Y)warns from heaven. 26 And (Z)His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “(AA)Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” 27 Now this expression, “Yet once more,” indicates (AB)the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a (AC)kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us [c]show gratitude, by which we may (AD)offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; 29 for (AE)our God is a consuming fire.
A Woman Healed on the Sabbath
10 And He was (A)teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who for eighteen years had [a](B)a sickness caused by a spirit, and she was bent double, and could not straighten up at all. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.” 13 And He (C)laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made erect again and began (D)glorifying God. 14 But (E)the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus (F)healed on the Sabbath, answered and was saying to the crowd, “(G)There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” 15 But (H)the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites, (I)does not each of you on the Sabbath release his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead it away to water it? 16 And this woman, (J)being a daughter of Abraham, whom (K)Satan has bound for—behold—eighteen years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?” 17 And as He said this, all His opponents were being put to shame; and (L)the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.
