Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

¹² As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.

¹³ As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:

¹⁴ For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:

¹⁵ Man's days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.

¹⁶ For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.

¹⁷ But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children's children,

¹⁸ To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.

¹⁹ The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.

²⁰ Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.

²¹ Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.

²² Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.

⁸ And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread; and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread.

⁹ And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us.

¹⁰ Let us therefore make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us, he may abide there.

¹¹ Now there was a certain day when he came and turned in to the chamber, and rested there.

¹² And he said to Giezi his servant Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him,

¹³ He said to his servant: Say to her Behold thou hast diligently served us in all things, what wilt thou have me to do for thee? hast thou any business, and wilt thou that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people.

¹⁴ And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old.

¹⁵ Then he bid him call her: And when she was called, and stood before the door.

¹⁶ He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life accompany, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.

¹⁷ And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour, that Eliseus had said.

³² Eliseus therefore went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed.

³³ And going in he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord.

³⁴ And he went up, and lay upon the child: and he put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child's flesh grew warm.

³⁵ Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes.

³⁶ And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son.

³⁷ She came and fell at his feet, and worshipped upon the ground: and took up her son, and went out.

14 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a very great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks did believe.

² But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and incensed the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

³ A long time therefore they abode there, dealing confidently in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴ And the multitude of the city was divided; and some of them indeed held with the Jews, but some with the apostles.

⁵ And when there was an assault made by the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to use them contumeliously, and to stone them:

⁶ They understanding it, fled to Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the whole country round about, and were there preaching the gospel.

⁷ And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.
