Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
46 Then Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
47 “And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
48 “For He has looked on the poor degree of His servant. For behold, from now on all ages shall call me blessed.
49 “Because He Who is mighty has done great things for me, and Holy is His Name.
50 “And His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him.
51 “He Who showed strength with His arm, He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 “He has put down the mighty from their seats and exalted those of low degree.
53 “He has filled the hungry with good things and sent away the rich empty.
54 “He has upheld Israel, His servant, to be mindful of His mercy,
55 “(as He has spoken to our fathers – that is, to Abraham and his seed) forever.”
17 Your eyes shall see the King in His Glory. They shall behold the land from far away.
18 Your heart shall contemplate fear: “Where is the scribe?” “Where is the receiver?” “Where is he who counted the towers?”
19 You shall not see a fierce people, a people of dark speech that you cannot perceive, of a stammering tongue that you cannot understand.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemn Feasts. Your eyes shall see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that cannot be removed. And its stakes can never be taken away. Nor shall any of its cords be broken.
21 For surely there the mighty LORD will be to us as a place of streams and broad rivers, whereby no ship with oars shall pass. Nor shall a great ship pass thereby.
22 For the LORD is our Judge. The LORD is our Lawgiver. The LORD is our King. He will save us.
6 And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy Prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly be fulfilled.
7 “Behold, I come shortly. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the Prophecy of this Book.”
18 “For I testify to everyone who hears the Words of the Prophecy of this Book. If anyone shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this Book.
19 And if anyone shall take away from the Words of the Book of this Prophecy, God shall take out his part of the Book of Life, and of the holy City, and from those things which are written in this Book.”
20 He who testifies these things, says, “Surely I come quickly. Amen.” Even so, come Lord Jesus.
