Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
75 1 The faithful do praise the Name of the Lord, 2 Which shall come to judge at the time appointed: 8 When the wicked shall be put to confusion, and drink of the cup of his wrath. 10 Their pride shall be abated, and the righteous shall be exalted to honor.
To him that excelleth. [a]Destroy not. A Psalm, or song committed to Asaph.
1 We will praise thee, O God, we will praise thee, for thy Name is near: therefore [b]they will declare thy wondrous works.
2 [c]When I shall take a convenient time, I will judge righteously.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: but I will establish the pillars [d]of it. Selah.
4 I said unto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.
5 Lift not up your [e]horn on high, neither speak with a stiff neck.
6 For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,
7 But God is the judge: he maketh low, and he maketh high.
8 For in the hand of the Lord is a [f]cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixed, and he poureth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drink the dregs thereof.
9 But I will declare forever, and sing praises unto the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I break: but the horns of the [g]righteous shall be exalted.
12 His breath maketh the coals burn: for a flame goeth out of his mouth.
13 In his neck remaineth strength, and [a]labor is rejected before his face.
14 The members of his body are joined: they are strong in themselves, and cannot be moved.
15 His heart is as strong as a stone, and as hard as the nether millstone.
16 The mighty are afraid of his majesty, and for fear they faint in themselves.
17 When the sword doth touch him, he will not rise up, nor for the spear, dart nor habergeon.
18 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
19 The archer cannot make him flee: the stones of the sling are turneth into stubble unto him.
20 The darts are counted as straw: and he laugheth at the shaking of the spear.
21 Sharp stones [b]are under him, and he spreadeth sharp things upon the mire.
22 He maketh the depth to [c]boil like a pot, and maketh the Sea like a pot of ointment.
23 He maketh a path to [d]shine after him, one would think the depth as an hoar head.
24 In the earth there is none like him: he is made without fear.
25 He beholdeth [e]all high things: he is a King over all the children of pride.
13 4 Christ rising from supper, 14 to command humility to his Apostles, washeth their feet. 21 He noteth the traitor Judas, 26 with an evident token. 34 He commendeth charity. 37, 38 He foretelleth Peter of his denial.
1 Now (A)[a]before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come, that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, forasmuch as he loved his [b]own which were in the world, unto the end he loved them.
2 And when supper was done (and that the devil had now put in the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him.)
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his [c]hands, and that he was come forth from God, and went to God,
4 He [d]riseth from Supper, and layeth aside his upper garments, and took a towel, and girded himself.
5 After that, he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel, wherewith he was girded.
6 Then came he to Simon Peter, who said to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do, thou knowest not now: but thou shalt know it hereafter.
8 Peter said unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt have [e]no part with me.
9 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.
10 Jesus said to him, He that is washed, needeth not, save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are (B)clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who should betray him: therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12 ¶ So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me Master, and Lord, and ye say well: for so am I.
14 If I then your Lord, and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do, even as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily I say unto you, (C)The servant is not greater than his master, neither the [f]ambassador greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
