Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Psalm 95[a]
95 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord.
Let us shout out praises to our Protector who delivers us.[b]
2 Let us enter his presence[c] with thanksgiving.
Let us shout out to him in celebration.[d]
3 For the Lord is a great God,
a great king who is superior to[e] all gods.
4 The depths of the earth are in his hand,[f]
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down and worship.[g]
Let us kneel before the Lord, our Creator.
7 For he is our God;
we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep he owns.[h]
Today, if only you would obey him.[i]
8 He says,[j] “Do not be stubborn like they were at Meribah,[k]
like they were that day at Massah[l] in the wilderness,[m]
9 where your ancestors challenged my authority,[n]
and tried my patience, even though they had seen my work.
10 For forty years I was continually disgusted[o] with that generation,
and I said, ‘These people desire to go astray;[p]
they do not obey my commands.’[q]
11 So I made a vow in my anger,
‘They will never enter into the resting place I had set aside for them.’”[r]
27 On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather it, but they found nothing. 28 So the Lord said to Moses, “How long do you refuse[a] to obey my commandments and my instructions? 29 See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, that is why[b] he is giving you food for two days on the sixth day. Each of you stay where you are;[c] let no one[d] go out of his place on the seventh day.” 30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 The house of Israel[e] called its name “manna.”[f] It was like coriander seed and was white, and it tasted[g] like wafers with honey.
32 Moses said, “This is what[h] the Lord has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it to be kept[i] for generations to come,[j] so that they may see[k] the food I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out from the land of Egypt.’” 33 Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar and put in it an omer full of manna, and place it before the Lord to be kept for generations to come.” 34 Just as the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the ark of the testimony[l] for safekeeping.[m]
35 Now the Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a land that was inhabited; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
Departure From Judea
4 Now when Jesus[a] knew that the Pharisees[b] had heard that he[c] was winning[d] and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),[e] 3 he left Judea and set out once more for Galilee.[f]
Conversation With a Samaritan Woman
4 But he had[g] to pass through Samaria.[h] 5 Now he came to a Samaritan town[i] called Sychar,[j] near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.[k] 6 Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down beside[l] the well. It was about noon.[m]
