Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
7 “(A)Hear, O My people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify [a]against you;
I am God, (B)your God.
8 I do (C)not reprove you for your sacrifices,
And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
9 I shall take no (D)young bull out of your house
Nor male goats out of your folds.
10 For (E)every beast of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every (F)bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is [b]Mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
For the (G)world is Mine, as well as its fullness.
13 Shall I eat the flesh of [c](H)bulls
Or drink the blood of male goats?
14 Offer to God (I)a sacrifice of thanksgiving
And (J)pay your vows to the Most High;
15 (K)Call upon Me in the day of distress;
I shall (L)rescue you, and you will (M)glorify Me.”
Stone Tablets like the Former Ones
34 Now Yahweh said to Moses, “Carve out for yourself (A)two stone tablets like the former ones, and (B)I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered. 2 So be prepared by morning, and come up in the morning to (C)Mount Sinai, and [a]present yourself there to Me on the top of the mountain. 3 (D)And no man is to come up with you, nor let any man be seen [b]anywhere on the mountain; even the flocks and the herds may not graze in front of that mountain.” 4 So he carved out (E)two stone tablets like the former ones, and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, and he took two stone tablets in his hand. 5 (F)Then Yahweh descended in the cloud and stood there with him, and [c]He called upon the name of Yahweh. 6 Then Yahweh passed by in front of him and called out, “Yahweh, Yahweh God, (G)compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and [d]truth; 7 who (H)keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression, and sin; yet He (I)will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, (J)visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.” 8 And Moses made haste [e](K)to bow low toward the earth and worship. 9 And he said, “(L)If now I have found favor in Your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go along in our midst, even though [f](M)they are a stiff-necked people, and (N)pardon our iniquity and our sin, and (O)take us as Your own inheritance.”
27 And as Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, [a]crying out, “Have mercy on us, (A)Son of David!” 28 And when He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus *said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They *said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “[b]It shall be done to you (B)according to your faith.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus (C)sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows about this!” 31 But they went out and (D)spread the news about Him throughout all that land.
32 Now as they were going out, behold, (E)a mute, (F)demon-possessed man [c]was brought to Him. 33 And after the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, “(G)Nothing like this has [d]ever been seen in Israel.” 34 But the Pharisees were saying, “He (H)casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”
