Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
10 So (A)David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
11 And the days which David (B)reigned upon Israel, were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
12 ¶ (C) Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was established mightily.
3 And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the ordinances of David his [a]father: only he sacrificed and offered incense in the high places.
4 And the King went to [b]Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the chief high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
6 And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, [c]when he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee: and thou hast [d]kept for him this great mercy, and hast given him a son, to sit on his throne, as appeareth this day.
7 And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a young child, and know not how to [e]go out and in.
8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people, which thou hast chosen, even a great people, which cannot be told nor numbered for multitude.
9 (A)Give therefore unto thy servant an [f]understanding heart, to judge thy people: that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy [g]mighty people?
10 And this pleased the Lord well, that Solomon had desired this thing.
11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine [h]enemies, but hast asked for thyself understanding to hear judgment,
12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and understanding heart, so that there hath been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall arise the like unto thee.
13 And I have also (B)given thee that, which thou hast not asked, both riches and honor, so that among the Kings there [i]shall be none like unto thee all thy days.
14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep mine ordinances and my commandments, (C)as thy father David did walk, I will prolong thy days.
111 1 He giveth thanks to the Lord for his merciful works toward his Church, 10 and declareth wherein true wisdom and right knowledge consisteth.
Praise ye the Lord.
1 I will [a]praise the Lord with my whole heart in the assembly and the congregation of the just.
2 The works of the Lord are [b]great, and ought to be sought out of all them that love them.
3 His work is beautiful and glorious, and his righteousness endureth forever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be had in remembrance: the Lord is merciful and full of compassion.
5 He hath given [c]a [d]portion unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath showed to his people the power of his works, in giving unto them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The [e]works of his hands are truth and judgment: all his statutes are true.
8 They are established forever and ever, and are done in truth and equity.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and fearful is his Name.
10 [f]The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord: all they that observe [g]them, have good understanding: his praise endureth forever.
15 [a]Take heed therefore that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as (A)wise,
16 [b]Redeeming the season: for the [c]days are evil.
17 (B)Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 [d]And be not drunk with wine, wherein is [e]excess: but be fulfilled with the Spirit,
19 Speaking unto yourselves in Psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord in your [f]hearts,
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God even the Father, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
51 [a]I am that [b]living bread, which came down from heaven: if any man [c]eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 [d]Then the Jews strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have [e]no life in you.
54 Whosoever (A)eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As [f]that living Father hath sent me, so live I by the [g]Father, and he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers have eaten Manna, and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live forever.
