Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

¹¹ Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

¹² I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

¹³ For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

¹⁴ O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.

¹⁵ But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.

¹⁶ Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

¹⁷ Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.

¹⁸ For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: As mine anger and my fury have been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt; and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach, and ye shall see this place no more.

¹⁹ Jehovah hath said concerning you, the remnant of Judah, Go ye not into Egypt. Know certainly that I have admonished you this day.

²⁰ For ye deceived yourselves in your own souls, when ye sent me unto Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us unto Jehovah our God; and according to all that Jehovah our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.

²¹ And I have this day declared [it] to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah your God, nor anything for which he hath sent me unto you.

²² And now know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into [the] way of [the] nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;

⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

⁸ Heal [the] infirm, [raise the dead], cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously.

⁹ Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts,

¹⁰ nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.

¹¹ But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth.

¹² And as ye enter into a house salute it.

¹³ And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.

¹⁶ Behold, *I* send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves.

¹⁷ But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues;

¹⁸ and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak.

²⁰ For *ye* are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.

²¹ But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death;

²² and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to [the] end, *he* shall be saved.

²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come.
