Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Oh, That My People Would Listen to Me
To the choirmaster: according to (A)The Gittith.[a] Of (B)Asaph.
81 (C)Sing aloud to God our strength;
(D)shout for joy to the God of Jacob!
2 Raise a song; sound (E)the tambourine,
(F)the sweet lyre with (G)the harp.
3 Blow the trumpet at (H)the new moon,
at the full moon, on our feast day.
4 For it is a statute for Israel,
a rule[b] of the God of Jacob.
5 He made it (I)a decree in (J)Joseph
when he (K)went out over[c] the land of Egypt.
(L)I hear a language (M)I had not known:
6 “I (N)relieved your[d] shoulder of (O)the burden;
your hands were freed from the basket.
7 In distress you (P)called, and I delivered you;
I (Q)answered you in the secret place of thunder;
I (R)tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
8 (S)Hear, O my people, while I admonish you!
O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
9 There shall be no (T)strange god among you;
you shall not bow down to a (U)foreign god.
10 (V)I am the Lord your God,
who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
(W)Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Bread for the Tabernacle
5 “You shall take fine flour and bake twelve (A)loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah[a] shall be in each loaf. 6 And you shall set them in two piles, six in a pile, (B)on the table of pure gold[b] before the Lord. 7 And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion as a food offering to the Lord. 8 (C)Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the Lord regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant for ever. 9 And (D)it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and (E)they shall eat it in a holy place, since it is for him a most holy portion out of the Lord's food offerings, a perpetual due.”
19 (A)Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. (B)Why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, (C)“You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did (D)one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 (E)Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but (F)from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, (G)are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? 24 (H)Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgement.”
