Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
4 Then the Word of the LORD came to me, saying,
5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. And before you came out of the womb, I sanctified you and ordained you to be a Prophet to the nations.”
6 Then I said, “Oh, LORD God. Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.”
7 But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a child’. For you shall go to all that I shall send you. And whatever I Command you, you shall speak.
8 “Do not be afraid of their faces. For I am with you, to deliver you,” said the LORD.
9 Then the LORD stretched out His Hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put My Words in your mouth.
10 “Behold, this day I have set you over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to root out, and to destroy, and throw down, to build, and to plant.”
71 In You, O LORD, I trust. Let me never be ashamed.
2 Rescue me and deliver me in Your righteousness. Incline Your ear to me and save me.
3 Be my Strong Rock, whereto I may always resort. You have given Commandment to save me; for You are my Rock, and my Fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.
5 For You are my Hope, O LORD God; my Trust from my youth.
6 I have been upheld by You from the womb. You are He Who took me out of my mother’s core. My praise shall be of You always.
18 For you have not come to the mountain that can be touched - nor to burning fire, nor to blackness and darkness and tempest,
19 nor to the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words - from which those who heard it excused themselves so that the word would not be spoken to them anymore.
20 For they were not able to abide that which was commanded: “Yea, if a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or thrust through with an arrow”.
21 And so terrible was the sight which appeared, that Moses said, “I fear and quake”.
22 But you have come to the Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God (the celestial Jerusalem), and to the company of innumerable angels,
23 and to the assembly and congregation of the first born (which are written in Heaven), and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the just and perfected,
24 and to Jesus the Mediator of the New Testament, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you do not despise Him Who speaks. For if those did not escape who refused Him who spoke on Earth, much more so shall we not escape if we turn away from Him Who speaks from Heaven.
26 His voice shook the Earth then. And now He has declared, saying, “Yet once more will I shake, not the Earth only, but also Heaven.”
27 And this, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things which are shaken (as in things which are made) so that the things which are not shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, seeing we receive a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace by which we may pleasingly serve God with reverence and godly fear.
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
10 And He taught in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath Day.
11 And behold, there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. And was doubled over and could not straighten up at all.
12 When Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, “Woman, you are free from your disease.”
13 And He laid His hands on her. And immediately she was made straight again. And she glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the Synagogue answered indignantly (because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath) and said to the people, “There are six days in which we ought to work! Therefore, come and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day!”
15 Then the Lord answered him, and said, “Hypocrite. Does not each one of you free his ox or his ass from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to the water?
16 “And ought not this daughter of Abraham (whom Satan has bound, lo, eighteen years) be freed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
17 And when He said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed. But all the people rejoiced at all the excellent things that were done by Him.
