Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
34 Then Moses went from the plain of Moab up into Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah that is opposite Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan,
2 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the western sea,
3 and the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, to Zoar.
4 And the LORD said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your seed.’ I have allowed you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.”
5 So Moses, the servant of the LORD, died there in the land of Moab, according to the Word of the LORD.
6 And He buried him in a valley, in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor. But no one knows of his sepulcher to this day.
7 Moses was now a hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses on the plain of Moab for thirty days. So the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
9 And Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom. For Moses had put his hands upon him. And the children of Israel were obedient to him and did as the LORD had Commanded Moses.
10 But since then there has not arisen a Prophet like Moses in Israel — whom the LORD knew face to face —
11 in all the miracles and wonders which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt, before Pharaoh and before all his servants and before all his land,
12 and in all the mighty hand and all the great fear which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel.
90 LORD, You have been our habitation from generation to generation.
2 Before the mountains were made (and You had formed the Earth and the world), even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
3 You turn man to contrition. Again, You say, “Return, you sons of Adam.”
4 For a thousand years in Your sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 You have overflowed them. They are asleep. In the morning, they grow like the grass.
6 In the morning it flourishes and grows. In the evening, it is cut down and withers.
13 Return (O LORD, how long?) and be pacified toward Your servants.
14 Fill us with Your mercy in the morning. So shall we rejoice and be glad all our days!
15 Comfort us according to the days that You have afflicted us, according to the years that we have seen evil.
16 Let Your work be seen toward Your servants, and Your Glory upon their children.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us and direct the work of our hands upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
2 For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain.
2 But even after we had suffered before (and were insulted at Philippi, as you know) we were emboldened by God to speak the Gospel of God to you with much struggle.
3 For our encouragement was not in error, nor of impurity, nor by deceit.
4 But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Gospel, so we speak - not as those who please man, but God, Who examines our hearts.
5 Nor did we ever at any time use flattering words (as you know), nor cloaked covetousness. God is our witness.
6 Nor did we seek the praise of man - either by you or by others - when we might have imposed on you as the Apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children.
8 Having this affection toward you, it was our pleasure to have shared with you not only the Gospel of God, but also our own souls, because you were dear to us.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled together.
35 And one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him a question, tempting Him, and saying,
36 “Master, which is the greatest Commandment in the Law?
37 Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38 “This is the first and the greatest Commandment.
39 “And the second is similar. That is, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 “On these two Commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 saying, “What do you think of Christ? Whose son is He?” They said to him, “David’s.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David, in spirit, call Him ‘Lord’, saying,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool?
45 If, then, David calls Him Lord, how is He his son?
46 And no one could answer Him a word. Nor did anyone ask Him any more questions from that day forth.
