Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

² they departed from Rephidim, and came [into] the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in the wilderness; and Israel encamped there before the mountain.

³ And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

⁴ Ye have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, and [how] I have borne you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

⁵ And now, if ye will hearken to my voice indeed and keep my covenant, then shall ye be my own possession out of all the peoples—for all the earth is mine—

⁶ and ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.

⁷ And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and laid before the mall these words which Jehovah had commanded him.

⁸ And all the people answered together, and said, All that Jehovah has spoken will we do! And Moses brought the words of the people back to Jehovah.

A Psalm of thanksgiving.

100 Shout aloud unto Jehovah, all the earth!

² Serve Jehovah with joy: come before his presence with exultation.

³ Know that Jehovah is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

⁴ Enter into his gates with thanksgiving [and] into his courts with praise; give thanks unto him, bless his name:

⁵ For Jehovah is good; his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; and his faithfulness from generation to generation.

5 Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

² by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.

³ And not only [that], but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance;

⁴ and endurance, experience; and experience, hope;

⁵ and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by [the] Holy Spirit which has been given to us:

⁶ for we being still without strength, in [the] due time Christ has died for [the] ungodly.

⁷ For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also dare to die;

⁸ but God commends *his* love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.

³⁵ And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.

³⁶ But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.

³⁷ Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;

³⁸ supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.

10 And having called to [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness.

² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;

³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus;

⁴ Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariote, who also delivered him up.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into [the] way of [the] nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;

⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

⁸ Heal [the] infirm, [raise the dead], cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously.

⁹ Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts,

¹⁰ nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.

¹¹ But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth.

¹² And as ye enter into a house salute it.

¹³ And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.

¹⁶ Behold, *I* send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves.

¹⁷ But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues;

¹⁸ and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak.

²⁰ For *ye* are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.

²¹ But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death;

²² and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to [the] end, *he* shall be saved.

²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come.
