Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Tell of All His Wondrous Works
105 (A)Oh give thanks to the Lord; (B)call upon his name;
(C)make known his deeds among the peoples!
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
(D)tell of all his wondrous works!
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
4 Seek the Lord and his (E)strength;
(F)seek his presence continually!
5 Remember the (G)wondrous works that he has done,
his miracles, and (H)the judgments he uttered,
6 O offspring of (I)Abraham, his servant,
children of Jacob, his (J)chosen ones!
7 He is the Lord our God;
his (K)judgments are in all the earth.
8 He (L)remembers his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for (M)a thousand generations,
9 (N)the covenant that he made with Abraham,
his (O)sworn promise to Isaac,
10 which he confirmed to (P)Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 saying, (Q)“To you I will give the land of Canaan
as (R)your portion for an inheritance.”
37 Then he brought out Israel with (A)silver and gold,
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38 (B)Egypt was glad when they departed,
for (C)dread of them had fallen upon it.
39 He (D)spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
40 (E)They asked, and he (F)brought quail,
and gave them (G)bread from heaven in abundance.
41 He opened the rock, and (H)water gushed out;
it flowed through (I)the desert like a river.
42 For he (J)remembered his holy promise,
and (K)Abraham, his servant.
12 “For thus says the Lord:
(A)Your hurt is incurable,
(B)and your wound is grievous.
13 There is none to uphold your cause,
no medicine for your wound,
(C)no healing for you.
14 (D)All your lovers have forgotten you;
they care nothing for you;
for I have dealt you the blow of (E)an enemy,
the punishment (F)of a merciless foe,
because your guilt is great,
(G)because your sins are flagrant.
15 (H)Why do you cry out over your hurt?
(I)Your pain is incurable.
Because your guilt is great,
(J)because your sins are flagrant,
I have done these things to you.
16 (K)Therefore all who devour you shall be devoured,
and (L)all your foes, every one of them, shall go into captivity;
(M)those who plunder you shall be plundered,
(N)and all who prey on you I will make a prey.
17 (O)For I will restore (P)health to you,
and (Q)your wounds I will heal,
declares the Lord,
because (R)they have called you an outcast:
(S)‘It is Zion, for whom no one cares!’
18 “Thus says the Lord:
Behold, (T)I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
and have compassion on his dwellings;
the city shall be rebuilt on (U)its mound,
and the palace shall stand where it used to be.
19 (V)Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving,
and the voices of those who celebrate.
(W)I will multiply them, and they shall not be few;
I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.
20 (X)Their children shall be as they were of old,
and their congregation shall be established before me,
and I will punish all who oppress them.
21 (Y)Their prince shall be one of themselves;
(Z)their ruler shall come out from their midst;
(AA)I will make him draw near, and he shall approach me,
(AB)for who would dare of himself to approach me?
declares the Lord.
22 (AC)And you shall be my people,
and I will be your God.”
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become (A)sons of light.”
The Unbelief of the People
When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them. 37 Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, 38 (B)so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
(C)“Lord, who has believed what he heard from us,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Therefore they (D)could not believe. For again Isaiah said,
40 (E)“He has blinded their eyes
and (F)hardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
and understand with their heart, and turn,
and I would heal them.”
41 Isaiah said these things because (G)he saw his glory and (H)spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless, (I)many even of the authorities believed in him, but (J)for fear of the Pharisees they did not (K)confess it, so that they would not be (L)put out of the synagogue; 43 (M)for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.
