Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
23 You who (A)fear the Lord, praise him!
All you offspring of Jacob, (B)glorify him,
and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
24 For he has not despised or abhorred
the affliction of (C)the afflicted,
and he has not (D)hidden his face from him,
but has heard, when he (E)cried to him.
25 From you comes my praise in the great (F)congregation;
my (G)vows I will (H)perform before those who fear him.
26 (I)The afflicted[a] shall (J)eat and be satisfied;
those who seek him shall praise the Lord!
May your hearts (K)live for ever!
27 All (L)the ends of the earth shall remember
and turn to the Lord,
and all (M)the families of the nations
shall worship before you.
28 For (N)kingship belongs to the Lord,
and he rules over the nations.
29 All (O)the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
before him shall (P)bow all who go down to the dust,
even the one who could not (Q)keep himself alive.
30 Posterity shall serve him;
it shall be told of the Lord to the coming (R)generation;
31 they shall (S)come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet (T)unborn,
that he has done it.
7 The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to (A)Shur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai.” 9 The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel of the Lord also said to her, (B)“I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude.” 11 And the angel of the Lord said to her,
“Behold, you are pregnant
and shall bear a son.
You shall call his name Ishmael,[a]
(C)because the Lord has listened to your affliction.
12 He shall be (D)a wild donkey of a man,
his hand against everyone
and everyone's hand against him,
and he shall dwell (E)over against all his kinsmen.”
13 So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing”,[b] for she said, (F)“Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.”[c] 14 Therefore the well was called (G)Beer-lahai-roi;[d] it lies between (H)Kadesh and Bered.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
27 (A)And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 And they told him, (B)“John the Baptist; and others say, (C)Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, (D)“You are (E)the Christ.” 30 (F)And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.
