Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
56 Thus says the LORD: “Keep judgment and do justice. For My salvation is about to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.
6 “Also, the strangers who cling to the LORD, to serve Him, and to love the Name of the LORD, and to be His servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not pollute it and embraces My Covenant,
7 “them I will also bring to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My House of Prayer. Their Burnt Offerings and their Sacrifices shall be accepted upon My Altar. For My House shall be called a House of Prayer, for all people.”
8 The LORD God, Who gathers the scattered of Israel, says: “I will still gather to them those who are to be gathered to them.”
67 God be merciful to us and bless us. Cause His face to shine among us (Selah),
2 so that they may know Your way upon Earth and Your saving health among all nations.
3 Let the people praise You, O God. Let all the people praise You.
4 Let the people be glad and rejoice; for You shall judge the people righteously and govern the nations upon the Earth. Selah.
5 Let the people praise You, O God. Let all the people praise You.
6 Then shall the Earth bring forth her increase; and God, even our God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us, and all the ends of the Earth shall fear Him. To him who excels: A psalm or song of David
11 I say then, has not God thrust away His people? Absolutely not! For I am also an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God has not thrust away His people, whom He knew before. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah; how he intercedes with God against Israel, saying,
29 For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.
30 For even as you, in times past, had not believed God and yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief,
31 so now have they not believed by the mercy shown to you, so that they may also obtain mercy.
32 For God has shut up all in unbelief, so that He might have mercy on all.
10 Then He called the multitude to Him, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
11 “That which goes into the mouth, does not defile the man. But that which comes out of the mouth, defiles the man.”
12 Then His disciples came, and said to Him, “Are you not aware that the Pharisees, having heard this saying, are offended?”
13 But He answered and said, “Every plant which My Heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 “Let them be. They are the blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
15 Then Peter answered, and said to Him, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 Then Jesus said, “Are you still without understanding?
17 “Do you not understand that whatever enters into the mouth, goes into the belly, and is cast out into the drain?
18 “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile the man.
19 “For out of the heart comes evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, slanders.
20 “These are the things which defile the man. But to eat with unwashed hands, does not defile the man.”
21 And Jesus left there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And behold, a Gentile woman came out of the same region, and cried, saying to Him, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, the Son of David! My daughter is badly possessed by a demon!”
23 But He did not answer her a word. Then His disciples came to Him and urged Him, saying, “Send her away. For she cries after us.”
24 But He answered, and said, “I am not sent, but to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.”
25 Still, she came and worshipped Him, saying, “Lord help me.”
26 And He answered, and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.”
27 But she said, “Truth, Lord. Yet, even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master’s table.”
28 Then Jesus answered, and said to her, “O, woman. Great is your faith. Let it be as you desire.” And her daughter was made whole at that hour.
