Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
100 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the Earth!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness. Come before Him with joyfulness!
3 Know that the LORD is God. He has made us, and not we ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, into His courts with rejoicing. Give Him thanks. Praise Him; and bless His Name.
5 For the LORD is good. His mercy is everlasting; and His truth is from generation to generation. A Psalm of David
28 And at that time—when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt—
29 the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “I am the LORD. Speak to Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, all that I say to you.”
30 Then Moses said before the LORD, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How, then, shall Pharaoh hear me?”
7 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as Pharaoh’s god. And your brother, Aaron, shall be your prophet.
2 “You shall speak all that I commanded you. And Aaron, your brother, shall tell Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 “But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart and multiply My miracles and My wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 “And Pharaoh shall not listen to you, so that I may lay My hand upon Egypt and bring My armies (My people, the children of Israel) out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 “Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.”
6 Then, Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so they did.
7 Now, Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 And the LORD had spoken to Moses and Aaron, saying,
9 “If Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves’, then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh.’ And it shall be turned into a serpent.”
10 Then Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. And Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it was turned into a serpent.
11 Then, Pharaoh also called for the wise men and sorcerers. And those charmers of Egypt also did the same with their enchantments.
12 For every man cast down his rod, and they were turned into serpents. But Aaron’s rod devoured their rods.
13 So, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
7 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came to Him from Jerusalem.
2 And when they saw some of His disciples eat with common hands (that is to say, unwashed), they complained.
3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they have washed their hands, holding to the traditions of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, they do not eat until they have washed. And there are many other things there which they have taken upon themselves to observe - such as the washing of cups and pots and of metal vessels and of meal mats).
5 Then the Pharisees and Scribes asked Jesus, “Why do not Your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with unwashed hands?”
6 Then He answered and said to them, “Surely Isaiah has prophesied well of you, hypocrites. As it is written, ‘This people honors Me with lips, but their heart is far away from Me.
7 ‘But they worship Me in vain, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 For you lay the Commandments of God aside, and observe the tradition of men, such as the washing of pots, and of cups. And there are many other such things that you do.”
9 And He said to them, “You reject the Commandment of God, that you may observe your own tradition.
10 “For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your Mother. And whoever shall speak evil of father or mother, let him die the death.’
11 “But you say, ‘If a man says to father or mother, ‘Corban’(that is, ‘By the gift that is offered by me, you may have profit), he shall be free.’
12 “So you don’t require him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 “making the Word of God of no authority by your tradition which you have ordained. And you do many such things.”
