Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

12 Also the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

² This month, the beginning of months to you, shall be the first in the months of the year. (This month shall be the beginning of months for you, yea, it shall become the first month of the new year.)

³ Speak ye to all the company of the sons of Israel, and say ye to them, In the tenth day of this month, each man take a lamb by his families and houses; (Speak ye to all the Israelites, and say ye to them, On the tenth day of this month, each man take a lamb for his family, one for each household;)

⁴ but if the number (of people) is less, that it may not suffice to eat the lamb, he shall take (it with) his neighbour, which is joined to his house, by the number of souls, that may suffice to the eating of the lamb. (but if the number of people in his family is too small to eat the lamb, he shall eat it with his neighbour who is near to his house, yea, with the number of souls who shall suffice to eat all of the lamb.)

⁵ Forsooth the lamb shall be a male of one year, without wem; by which custom ye shall take also a kid, if a lamb may not be had in good manner; (And the lamb shall be a male of one year, without blemish, or without fault; for which rite ye may also take a goat kid, if a lamb cannot be had in good manner;)

⁶ and ye shall keep him till to the fourteenth day of this month; and all the multitude of the sons of Israel shall offer him at eventide.

⁷ And they shall take of his blood, and they shall put it on ever either (door-)post, and in the lintels, or higher thresholds, of the houses, in which they shall eat him; (And they shall take some of his blood, and they shall put it on both door-posts, and on the lintels, or the upper thresholds, of the houses, in which they shall eat the lamb;)

⁸ and in that night they shall eat (the) flesh, roasted with fire, and therf loaves, with the herb lettuce of the field/with bitternesses of the field. (and on that night they shall eat the flesh, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread, and bitter herbs of the field.)

⁹ Ye shall not eat thereof any raw thing, neither sodden in water, but roasted only by fire; ye shall devour the head with the feet, and with the entrails thereof; (Ye shall not eat any of it raw, or boiled in water, but only that which is roasted in the fire; ye shall devour the head with the feet, and all its entrails;)

¹⁰ neither anything thereof shall abide till to the morrowtide; if anything thereof is left (over), ye shall burn it in the fire.

¹¹ Forsooth thus ye shall eat him; ye shall gird your reins, and ye shall have shoes in your feet, and ye shall hold staves in your hands, and ye shall eat it hastily; for it is pask, that is, the passing [forth] of the Lord. (And ye shall eat it thus; ye shall gird up your reins, and ye shall have shoes on your feet, and ye shall hold your staff in your hand, and ye shall eat it hastily; for it is the Passover, that is, the Passing Over of the Lord.)

¹² And I shall pass through the land of Egypt in that night, and I shall smite all the first engendered thing(s)/(all) the first begotten thing(s) in the land of Egypt, from man till to beast; and I the Lord shall make dooms in all the gods of Egypt. (And I shall pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and I shall strike down all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from man unto beast; and I the Lord shall execute judgement against all the gods of Egypt.)

¹³ Forsooth [the] blood shall be to you into (a) sign, in the houses in which ye shall be; and I shall see the blood, and I shall pass (over) you; neither a wound destroying shall be in you, when I shall smite the land of Egypt. (And the blood on the houses in which ye shall be, shall be a sign of you; and I shall see the blood, and I shall pass over you; and there shall be no destroying wound inflicted upon you, when I shall strike the land of Egypt.)

¹⁴ Forsooth ye shall have this day into mind, and ye shall make it solemn to the Lord in your generations, by everlasting worshipping. (And ye shall remember this day, and on it ye shall dedicate a Feast unto the Lord in all your generations to come, by an everlasting rite.)

116 Alleluia. I loved the Lord; for the Lord shall hear the voice of my prayer. (Alleluia. I love the Lord; for the Lord hath heard the words of my prayer.)

² For he bowed down his ear to me; and I shall inwardly call him in my days (and I shall call to him in all my days).

¹² What shall I yield to the Lord; for all things which he hath yielded to me? (But what can I give back to the Lord; for all that he hath given to me?)

¹³ I shall take the cup of health; and I shall inwardly call the name of the Lord. (I shall take the cup of salvation, or of deliverance; and I shall call on the name of the Lord.)

¹⁴ I shall yield my vows to the Lord before all his people; (I shall pay my vows to the Lord; in the sight of all his people.)

¹⁵ the death of saints of the Lord is precious in his sight. (The Lord is deeply moved by the death of any of his saints.)

¹⁶ O! Lord, for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid (I am thy servant, and the son of thy servantess). Thou hast broken my bonds,

¹⁷ to thee I shall offer a sacrifice of praising; and I shall inwardly call the name of the Lord. (and so I shall offer a sacrifice of praise to thee; and I shall call on the name of the Lord.)

¹⁸ I shall yield my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people; (I shall pay my vows to the Lord, before all his people;)

¹⁹ in the foreyards of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, Jerusalem. (in the courtyards of the House of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.)

²³ For I have taken of the Lord that thing, which [and] I have betaken to you. For the Lord Jesus, in what night he was betrayed, took bread,

²⁴ and did thankings, and brake, and said [and doing graces, or thanks, he brake, and said], Take ye, and eat ye; this is my body, which shall be betrayed for you; do ye this thing into my mind.

²⁵ Also the cup, after that he had supped, and said [Also and he took the cup, after he had supped, saying], This cup is the new testament in my blood; do ye this thing, as oft as ye shall drink [it], into my mind.

²⁶ For as oft as ye shall eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye shall tell the death of the Lord, till that he come [ye shall show the death of the Lord, till he come].

13 But before the feast day of pask Jesus witting, that his hour is come, that he pass from this world to the Father [Jesus witting, for his hour cometh, that he pass over this world to the Father], when he had loved his that were in the world, into the end he loved them.

² And when the supper was made, when the devil had put then into the heart, that Judas of Simon Iscariot should betray him, [And the supper made, when the devil had sent now into the heart of Judas, of Simon Iscariot, that he should betray him,]

³ he witting that the Father gave all things to him into his hands, and that he went out from God, and goeth to God,

⁴ he riseth from the supper, and doeth off his clothes; and when he had taken a linen cloth, he girded him(self).

⁵ And afterward he put water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe with the linen cloth, with which he was girded.

⁶ And so he came to Simon Peter, and Peter saith to him, Lord, washest thou my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered, and said to him, What I do, thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know afterward.

⁸ Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered to him, If I shall not wash thee, thou shalt not have part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not only my feet, but both the hands and the head [but and mine hands and the head].

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is washed, hath no need but that he wash the feet, but he is all clean [but he is clean all]; and ye be clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew, who it was that should betray him [Forsooth he knew, who should betray him]; therefore he said, Ye be not all clean.

¹² And so after that he had washed their feet, he took his clothes; and when he was set to meat again, again he said to them, Ye know what I have done to you. [Therefore after that he had washed the feet of them, he took his clothes; and when he had rested again, again he said to them, Know ye what I have done to you(?)]

¹³ Ye call me master and Lord, and ye say well; for I am.

¹⁴ Therefore if I, Lord and master, have washed your feet, and ye shall wash one another's feet [and ye owe to wash another the tother's feet];

¹⁵ for I have given to you ensample, that as I have done to you, so do ye. [for I have given example to you, that as I have done to you, so and ye do.]

¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, the servant is not greater than his lord, neither an apostle is greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, ye shall be blessed, if ye do them.

³¹ Therefore when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now man's Son is clarified, and God is clarified in him.

³² If God is clarified in him, and God shall clarify him in himself, and at once [and anon] he shall clarify him.

³³ Little sons, yet a little I am with you; ye shall seek me, and, as I said to the Jews, Whither I go, ye be not able to come [Whither I go, ye may not come]; and to you I say now.

³⁴ I give to you a new commandment, that ye love together, as I have loved you, and that ye love together [that ye love together, as I loved you, that and ye love together].

³⁵ In this thing all men shall know, that ye be my disciples, if ye have love together.
