Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

¹² And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `See, Thou art saying unto me, Bring up this people, and Thou hast not caused me to know whom Thou dost send with me; and Thou hast said, I have known thee by name, and also thou hast found grace in Mine eyes.

¹³ `And now, if, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, cause me to know, I pray Thee, Thy way, and I know Thee, so that I find grace in Thine eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Thy people;'

¹⁴ and He saith, `My presence doth go, and I have given rest to thee.'

¹⁵ And he saith unto Him, `If Thy presence is not going -- take us not up from this [place];

¹⁶ and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Thine eyes -- I and Thy people -- is it not in Thy going with us? and we have been distinguished -- I and Thy people -- from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.'

¹⁷ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Even this thing which thou hast spoken I do; for thou hast found grace in Mine eyes, and I know thee by name.'

¹⁸ And he saith, `Shew me, I pray Thee, Thine honour;'

¹⁹ and He saith, `I cause all My goodness to pass before thy face, and have called concerning the Name of Jehovah before thee, and favoured him whom I favour, and loved him whom I love.'

²⁰ He saith also, `Thou art unable to see My face, for man doth not see Me, and live;'

²¹ Jehovah also saith, `Lo, a place [is] by Me, and thou hast stood on the rock,

²² and it hath come to pass, in the passing by of Mine honour, that I have set thee in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over thee, until My passing by,

²³ and I have turned aside My hands, and thou hast seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.'

99 Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

² Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.

³ They praise Thy name, `Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

⁴ And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou -- Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou -- Thou hast done.

⁵ Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy [is] He.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

⁷ In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

⁸ O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

⁹ Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

² We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,

³ unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,

⁴ having known, brethren beloved, by God, your election,

⁵ because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort we became among you because of you,

⁶ and ye -- ye did become imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

⁷ so that ye became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,

⁸ for from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God did go forth, so that we have no need to say anything,

⁹ for they themselves concerning us do declare what entrance we had unto you, and how ye did turn unto God from the idols, to serve a living and true God,

¹⁰ and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise out of the dead -- Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.

¹⁵ Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,

¹⁶ and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men;

¹⁷ tell us, therefore, what dost thou think? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?'

¹⁸ And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, `Why me do ye tempt, hypocrites?

¹⁹ show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a denary;

²⁰ and he saith to them, `Whose [is] this image and the inscription?'

²¹ they say to him, `Caesar's;' then saith he to them, `Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'

²² and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.
