Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
12 But You, O LORD, remain forever, and Your remembrance from generation to generation.
13 You will arise and have mercy upon Zion. For the time to have mercy thereon, for the appointed time, has come.
14 For Your servants, delight in the stones thereof and have pity on the dust thereof.
15 Then the heathen shall fear the Name of the LORD, and all the kings of the Earth Your Glory,
16 when the LORD shall build up Zion and shall appear in His Glory
17 and shall turn to the prayer of the desolate and not despise their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come; and the people who shall be created shall praise the LORD.
19 For He has looked down from the height of His Sanctuary. Out of the heaven did the LORD behold the Earth,
20 so that He might hear the mourning of the prisoner and deliver the children of death;
21 so that they may declare the Name of the LORD in Zion and His praise in Jerusalem
22 when the people shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23 He weakened my strength on the way and shortened my days.
24 I said, “O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days. Your years endure from generation to generation.
25 “Before time, You have laid the foundation of the Earth; and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 “They shall perish, but You shall endure. Indeed, they shall all wear out like a garment. You shall change them like clothing, and they shall be changed.
27 But You are the same; and Your years shall not fail.
28 The children of Your servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established in Your sight. A Psalm of David
8 And it happened at that time that Elisha came to Shunem. And while there, an older woman persuaded him to eat food. And whenever he passed by, he would turn in there to eat food.
9 And she said to her husband, “Behold, I know now that this is a holy man of God who continually passes by us.
10 “Please, let us make him a little chamber, with walls. And let us set him up a bed there, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, so that he may turn in there when he comes to us.”
11 And one day, he came there, and turned into the chamber, and lay in it,
12 and said to Gehazi, his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” And when he called her, she stood before him.
13 Then he said to him, “Say to her now, ‘Behold, you have had all this great care for us. What shall we do for you? Is there anything to be spoken to the king for you, or to the captain of the army?” And she answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
14 Again he said, “What is then to be done for her?” Then Gehazi answered, “Indeed, she has no son, and her husband is old.
15 Then he said, “Call her.” And he called her, and she stood in the door.
16 And he said, “At this time next year, according to the time of life, you shall embrace a son.” And she said, “Oh my Lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid.”
17 So the woman conceived, and bore a son, in that same season, according to the time of life that Elisha had said to her.
32 Then Elisha came into the house. And behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
33 Therefore, he went in and shut the door upon the two of them and prayed to the LORD.
34 Afterward, he went up and lay upon the child and put his mouth on his mouth and his eyes upon his eyes and his hands upon his hands and stretched himself upon him. And the flesh of the child grew warm.
35 And he went and walked up and down in the house and went up and spread himself upon him. Then, the child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
36 Then he called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite.” So, he called her, who came in to him. And he said to her, “Take your son.”
37 And she came and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground and took up her son and went out.
14 And it so happened in Iconium that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke, so that a great multitude of both the Jews and the Hellenists believed.
2 And the unbelieving Jews stirred up and corrupted the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 So therefore they stayed there a long time, and spoke boldly in the Lord, Who gave testimony to the Word of His grace, and caused signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided. And some were with the Jews, and some with the Apostles.
5 And when a violent attempt to stone them was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers,
6 they were made aware of it, and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region,
7 and preached the Gospel there.
