Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
78 Hear my doctrine, O my people. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable. I will declare high sentences of old
3 which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children; but to the generation to come we will show the praise of the LORD, His power also, and His wonderful works that He has done.
5 How He established a testimony in Jacob and ordained a Law in Israel. Which He commanded our fathers that they should teach their children,
6 so that the posterity might know it and the children which should be born should stand up and declare it to their children.
7 So that they might set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His Commandments.
8 So that they not be as their fathers (a disobedient and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set their heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful to God).
17 But, they still sinned against Him and provoked the Highest in the wilderness
18 and tempted God in their hearts, requiring food for their lust.
19 They also spoke against God, saying, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 “Behold, He struck the rock so that the water gushed out and the streams overflowed. Can He also give bread, or prepare flesh for His people?”
21 Therefore, the LORD heard and was angry, and the fire was kindled in Jacob; and wrath also came upon Israel
22 because they did not believe in God and did not trust in His help.
23 Still, He had commanded the clouds above, and had opened the doors of Heaven,
24 and had rained down manna upon them to eat and had given them of the wheat of Heaven.
25 Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food enough.
26 He caused the east wind to pass in the sky; and through His power He brought in the south wind.
27 He also rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the sea.
28 And He made it fall in the midst of their camp, all around their habitations.
29 So they ate and were well-filled; for He gave them their desire.
2 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses, and against Aaron, in the wilderness.
3 For the children of Israel said to them, “Oh, that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate bread, our bellies full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole company with famine.”
4 Then, the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will cause bread to rain from Heaven to you. And the people shall go out and gather that which is sufficient for each day, so that I may test them (whether they will walk in My law or not).
5 “But, on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they shall bring home; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”
6 Then, Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, you shall know that the LORD brought you out of the land of Egypt.
7 “And in the morning, you shall see the Glory of the LORD. For He has heard your complaints against the LORD. And what are we, that you have murmured against us?”
8 Again, Moses said, “At evening, the LORD shall give you meat to eat, and in the morning your fill of bread. For the LORD has heard your murmurings which you murmur against Him. For what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.”
9 And Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the Congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Draw near before the LORD. For He has heard your murmurings.’”
10 Now, as Aaron spoke to the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness. And behold, the Glory of the LORD appeared in a cloud.
11 (For the LORD had spoken to Moses, saying,
12 “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Therefore, tell them and say, ‘At evening you shall eat meat; and in the morning you shall be filled with bread.’ And you shall know that I am the LORD your God).
13 And so, at evening, the quails came and covered the camp. And in the morning, the dew lay all around the camp.
14 And when the dew that had fallen had lifted, behold, a small round flakey thing was upon the face of the wilderness, small as the frost upon the earth.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.
31 And the House of Israel called the name of it “manna”. And it was like white coriander seed. And the taste of it was like wafers with honey.
32 And Moses said, “This is that which the LORD had commanded, ‘Fill an omer of it to keep for your posterity; so that they may see the bread with which I have fed you in wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
33 Moses also said to Aaron, “Take a pot and put an omer-full of manna in it; and set it before the LORD, to be kept for your posterity.”
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children of Israel ate manna for forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
32 Then Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, “I have compassion on this multitude because they have remained with Me three days now and have had nothing to eat. And I will not let them depart fasting, lest they faint on the way.”
33 And His disciples said to Him, “From where would we get so much bread in the wilderness that would suffice so great a multitude?”
34 And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
35 Then He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 And took the seven loaves, and the fish, and gave thanks; and broke them, and gave them to His disciples. And the disciples gave them to the multitude.
37 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the fragments that remained.
38 And those who had eaten (besides women and little children) were four thousand men.
39 Then Jesus sent away the multitude. And He took a ship and came into the region of Magdala.
