Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
15 on the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
2 In the seventh month, on the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the Lord by the prophet Haggai, saying,
2 “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying:
3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this house in her first glory? And how do ye see it now? Is this not in your eyes by comparison with it as nothing?
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel,’ saith the Lord; ‘and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land,’ saith the Lord, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ saith the Lord of hosts.
5 ‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remaineth among you. Fear ye not.’
6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: ‘Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth, and the sea and the dry land.
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory,’ saith the Lord of hosts.
8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ saith the Lord of hosts.
9 ‘The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former,’ saith the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place will I give peace,’ saith the Lord of hosts.”
145 I will extol Thee, my God, O King; and I will bless Thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless Thee, and I will praise Thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation shall praise Thy works to another, and shall declare Thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honor of Thy majesty, and of Thy wondrous works.
17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works.
18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him; He also will hear their cry and will save them.
20 The Lord preserveth all them that love Him, but all the wicked will He destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless His holy name for ever and ever.
98 O sing unto the Lord a new song, for He hath done marvelous things! His right hand and His holy arm hath gotten Him the victory.
2 The Lord hath made known His salvation; His righteousness hath He openly shown in the sight of the heathen.
3 He hath remembered His mercy and His truth toward the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth! Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise!
5 Sing unto the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the voice of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King!
7 Let the sea roar and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands, let the hills be joyful together
9 before the Lord. For He cometh to judge the earth; with righteousness shall He judge the world, and the people with equity.
2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together unto Him,
2 that ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as if from us that the Day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means, for that Day shall not come, unless there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
4 who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sitteth as God in the temple of God, showing himself to be God.
5 Remember ye not that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you for salvation, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,
14 whereunto He called you by our Gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold to the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word or our epistle.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God even our Father, who hath loved us and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.
27 Then came to Him certain of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked Him,
28 saying, “Master, Moses wrote unto us that if any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 There were therefore seven brethren, and the first took a wife and died without children.
30 And the second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 And the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
33 Therefore, in the resurrection whose wife is she, for seven had her as wife?”
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, “The children of this world marry and are given in marriage.
35 But they that shall be accounted worthy to obtain that World and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage,
36 neither can they die any more; for they are equal unto the angels and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush when he called the Lord ‘the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.’
38 For He is not a God of the dead, but of the living, for all live unto Him.”
