Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
9 And he entered into a cave there and lodged there. And behold, the LORD spoke to him, and said to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10 And he answered, “I have been very jealous for the LORD God of Hosts. For the children of Israel have forsaken Your Covenant, broken down Your Altars, and killed Your Prophets with the sword. And I alone am left. And they seek my life, to take it away.”
11 And He said, “Come out and stand upon the Mount, before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD went by. And a mighty, strong wind tore the mountains and broke the rocks before the LORD. The LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind came an earthquake. The LORD was not in the earthquake.
12 And after the earthquake came fire. The LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a still and soft voice.
13 And when Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his cloak and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
14 And he answered, “I have been very jealous for the LORD God of Hosts, because the children of Israel have forsaken Your Covenant, cast down Your Altars, and killed Your Prophets with the sword. And I alone am left. And they seek my life, to take it away.”
15 And the LORD said to him, “Go. Return by the wilderness to Damascus. And when you come, anoint Hazael king over Aram.
16 “And Jehu, the son of Nimshi, shall you anoint king over Israel. And Elisha, the son of Shaphat, of Abel Meholah, shall you anoint to be Prophet in your room.
17 “And he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, shall Jehu kill. And he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, shall Elisha kill.
18 “Still, I will leave seven thousand in Israel: all the knees that have not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
8 I will listen to what the LORD God will say. For He will speak peace to His people, and to His saints, so that they do not turn again to folly.
9 Surely, His salvation is near to those who fear Him, so that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth shall meet, righteousness and peace shall kiss.
11 Truth shall bud out of the Earth and righteousness shall look down from Heaven.
12 Indeed, the LORD shall give good things and our land shall give her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before Him and shall set her steps in the way. A prayer of David
5 For Moses writes of the righteousness which is of the Law: “The man who does these things, shall live thereby.”
6 But the righteousness which is of faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who shall ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)
7 or, ‘Who shall descend into the deep?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)”.
8 So, what does it say? “The Word is near you; your mouth, and in your heart.” This is the Word of faith which we preach.
9 For if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him, shall not be ashamed.”
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek. For He Who is Lord Over All is rich unto all who call on Him.
13 For “Whoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord, shall be saved.”
14 But how shall they call on Him in Whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of peace; and bring glad tidings of good things!”
22 And immediately Jesus compelled His disciples to enter into a ship. And to go over ahead of Him, while He sent away the multitude.
23 And as soon as He had sent the multitude away, He went up into a mountain alone, to pray. And when the evening had come, He was there alone.
24 And the ship was now in the midst of the sea and was tossed with the waves. For it was a contrary wind.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when His disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a spirit!” And they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good comfort! It is I! Do not be afraid!”
28 Then Peter answered Him, and said, “Master, if it is You, ask me to come to You on the water!”
29 And He said, “Come!” And when Peter had come down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the mighty wind, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried, saying, “Master! Save me!”
31 So immediately, Jesus stretched forth His hand, and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith. Why did you doubt?
32 And as soon as they had come up into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then those who were in the ship, came and worshipped Him, saying, “Truly, You are the Son of God!”
