Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
19 And the Angel of God, who went before the host of Israel, moved and went behind them. Also, the pillar of the cloud went from preceding them to standing behind them,
20 and came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. It was both a cloud and darkness, yet it gave light by night, so that one did not come near the other, all night long.
21 And Moses stretched forth his hand upon the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to recede by a strong east wind, all that night, and made the sea dry. For the waters were divided.
22 Then, the children of Israel went through the midst of the sea, upon the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left hand.
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Now, in the morning watch, the LORD looked upon the army of the Egyptians, and out of the fiery and cloudy pillar, He struck the army of the Egyptians with fear.
25 For he turned aside their chariot wheels and they drove them with great difficulty, so that all the Egyptians said, “I will flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch your hand upon the sea, so that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and upon their horsemen.”
27 Then Moses stretched forth his hand upon the sea, and the sea returned to full force early in the morning; and the Egyptians fled against it. But the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 So, the water returned and covered the chariots. And of the horsemen, and of all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, there remained not one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land through the midst of the sea. And the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Thus, the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians that day. And Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore.
31 And Israel saw the mighty power which the LORD showed upon the Egyptians. So, the people feared the LORD and believed the LORD and his servant Moses.
114 When Israel went out of Egypt, and the House of Jacob from the barbarous people,
2 Judah was His sanctification, and Israel His dominion.
3 The sea saw it and fled. Jordan was turned back.
4 The mountains leaped like rams, and the hills as lambs!
5 What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, why were you turned back?
6 You mountains, why did you leap like rams, and you hills as lambs?
7 The Earth trembled at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Who turns the rock into standing water, and the flint into a fountain of water.
15 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying, “I will sing to the LORD. For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse, and he who rode upon him, He has overthrown in the sea!
2 “The LORD is my strength and praise; and He has become my salvation. He is my God; and I will prepare a tabernacle for Him. He is my father’s God; and I will exalt Him.
3 “The LORD is a man of war. His Name is Jehovah.
4 “He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains were also drowned in the Red Sea.
5 “The depths have covered them. They sank to the bottom, as a stone.
6 “Your right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power. Your right hand, O LORD, has bruised the enemy.
7 “And in Your great Glory You have overthrown those who rose against You. You sent forth Your wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 “And by the blast of Your nostrils the waters were gathered. The floods stood still as a heap. The depths congealed together in the heart of the sea.
9 “The enemy said, ‘I will pursue! I will overtake them! I will divide the spoil! My lust shall be satisfied by them. I will draw my sword. My hand shall destroy them!’
10 “You blew with Your wind. The sea covered them; they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 “Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods! Who is like You—glorious in holiness, fearful in praises—doing wonders!
20 And Miriam the Prophetess, sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women came out after her, with timbrels and dances.
21 And Miriam answered the men, “Sing to the LORD! For He has triumphed gloriously! He has overthrown the horse and his rider in the sea!”
14 Receive the one who is weak in the faith, but not for passing judgment on his reasoning.
2 One believes that he may eat all things. And another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.
3 Do not let the one who eats treat the one who does not eat with contempt. And do not let the one who does not eat judge the one who eats. For God has received him.
4 Who are you to judge another man’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he shall be upheld. For God is able to make him stand.
5 One esteems one day above another day, and another counts every day alike. Let everyone be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 Whoever observes the day, observes it to the Lord. And whoever does not observe the day, does not observe it to the Lord. Whoever eats, eats to the Lord. For he gives God thanks. And whoever does not eat, does not eat to the Lord, and gives God thanks.
7 For none of us lives to himself. Nor does anyone die to himself.
8 For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord: Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
9 For to this end Christ died and rose again, and revived, so that He might be Lord, both of the dead and the living.
10 But why do you condemn your brother? Or why do you contemn your brother? For we shall all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, “I live, says the Lord. And every knee shall bow to Me. And all tongues shall confess unto God”.
12 So then everyone of us shall give accounts of himself to God.
21 Then Peter came to Him, and said, “Master, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I shall forgive him - up to seven times?”
22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, ‘Up to seven times’, but, ‘Up to seventy times seven times’.
23 “Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain King, who would take an account of his servants.
24 “And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 “And because he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold - and his wife, and children, and all that he had - and the debt to be paid.
26 “Therefore, the servant fell down and worshipped him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me and I will pay you all!’
27 “Then that servant’s lord had compassion and freed him. And forgave him the debt.
28 “But when the servant had departed, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. And he laid hands on him, and choked him, saying, ‘Pay me that you owe!’
29 “Then his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all!’
30 “But he would not. And went and cast him into prison, until he should pay the debt.
31 “And when his other fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry. And they came and declared to their lord all that was done.
32 “Then his lord called him, and said to him, ‘O evil servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
33 “‘Ought not you also have had pity on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?’
34 “So his lord was angry, and delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 “So likewise shall My Heavenly Father do to you, unless you forgive - from your hearts - each one his brother their trespasses.”
