Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
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.
8 The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The LORD is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works.
14 The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are ready to fall.
15 The eyes of all wait upon You, and You give them their food in due season.
16 You open Your hand and fulfill the desire of all living things.
17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and Holy in all His works.
18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them.
20 The LORD preserves all those who love Him; but He will destroy the wicked.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; and all flesh shall bless His Holy Name forever and ever. Praise the LORD.
9 I say the truth in Christ. I do not lie; my conscience bearing me witness in the holy Ghost,
2 so that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I could wish myself to be accursed, to be separated from Christ, for my brothers who are my kinsmen according to the flesh,
4 (who are the Israelites), to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the Covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 from whom are the Fathers, and from whom, concerning the flesh, Christ - Who is God over all, blessed forever – came. Amen.
13 And when Jesus heard it, He departed from there by ship into a desert place, alone. And when the multitude had heard it, they followed Him out of the cities on foot.
14 And Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion toward them. And He healed their sick.
15 And when evening had come, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a desert place. And the time is already late. Dismiss the multitude, so that they may go into the towns and buy food.
16 But Jesus said to them, “They have no need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 Then said they to Him, “We have here only five loaves, and two fishes.”
18 And He said, “Bring them here to Me.”
19 And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looked up to Heaven, and blessed and broke, and gave the loaves to His disciples. And the disciples gave them to the multitude.
20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
21 And those who had eaten (besides women and little children) were about five thousand men.
