Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
4 The Lord God hath given [a]me a tongue of the learned, that I should know to minister a word in time to him that is [b]weary; he will raise me up in the morning, in the morning he will waken mine ear to hear, [c]as the learned.
5 The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned I back.
6 I gave my back unto the [d]smiters, and my cheeks to the nippers: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 For the Lord God will help me, therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justifieth me: who will contend with me? Let us stand together? who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Behold, the Lord God will help me: who is he that can condemn me? lo, they shall wax old as a garment: the moth shall eat them up.
70 1 He prayeth to be right speedily delivered. 2 He desireth the shame of his enemies, 4 And the joyful comfort of all those that seek the Lord.
To him that excelleth. A Psalm of David, to put [a]in remembrance.
1 O (A)God, [b]haste thee to deliver me: make haste to help me, O Lord.
2 Let them be [c]confounded and put to shame, that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their [d]shame, which say, Aha, aha.
4 But let all those that seek thee, be joyful and glad in thee, and let all that love thy salvation, say always, God be praised.
5 Now I am [e]poor and needy: O God, make haste to me: thou art my helper, and my deliverer: O Lord, make no tarrying.
12 1 He doth not only by the examples of the Fathers before recited, exhort them to patience and constancy, 3 but also by the example of Christ. 11 That the chastenings of God cannot be rightly judged by the outward sense of our flesh.
1 Wherefore, (A)[a]let us also, seeing that we are compassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, cast away everything that presseth down, and the sin that [b]hangeth so fast on: let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 [c][d]Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, who for the [e]joy that was set before him, endured the cross, and despised the shame, and is set at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 [f]Consider therefore him that endureth such speaking against of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your minds.
21 When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in the Spirit, and [a]testified, and said, Verily, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 (A)Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was one of his disciples, which [b]leaned on Jesus’ bosom, whom Jesus loved.
24 To him beckoned therefore Simon Peter, that he should ask who it was of whom he spake.
25 He then as he leaned on Jesus’ breast, said unto him, Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it: and he wet a sop, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son.
27 And after the sop, Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28 But none of them that were at table, knew, for what cause he spake it unto him.
29 For some of them thought because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast: or that he should give something to the poor.
30 As soon then as he had received the sop, he went immediately out, and it was night.
31 ¶ [c]When he was gone out, Jesus said, [d]Now is the son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
