Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
34 And Peter opened his mouth, and said, In truth I have found, that God is no acceptor of persons;
35 but in each folk he that dreadeth God, and worketh rightwiseness, is accept to him [is accepted to him].
36 God sent a word to the children of Israel, showing peace by Jesus Christ; this is Lord of all things [this is the Lord of all men].
37 Ye know the word that is made through all Judaea, and began at Galilee [forsooth beginning from Galilee], after the baptism that John preached, Jesus of Nazareth;
38 how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and virtue; which passed forth in doing well [which passed forth in well-doing], and healing all men oppressed of the devil, for God was with him.
39 And we be witnesses of all things, which he did in the country of Jews, and of Jerusalem [and Jerusalem]; whom they slew, hanging on a tree.
40 And God raised this in the third day, and gave him to be made known,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses before-ordained of God; to us that ate and drank with him, after that he rose again from death [from dead].
42 And he commanded to us to preach to the people, and to witness, that he it is, that is ordained of God doomsman of the quick and of the dead [that is ordained of God doomsman of quick and dead].
43 To this all prophets bear witnessing [To this all prophets bear witness], that all men that believe in him, shall receive remission of sins by his name.
31 In that time, saith the Lord, I shall be God to all the kindreds of Israel; and they shall be into a people to me. (At that time, saith the Lord, I shall be God to all the tribes of Israel; and they shall be my people.)
2 The Lord saith these things, The people that was left of sword, found grace in desert; Israel shall go to his rest. (The Lord saith these things, The people who were left from the sword, found favour in the wilderness; yea, Israel shall take rest.)
3 (From) Far (off) the Lord appeared to me, and in everlasting charity I loved thee; therefore I doing mercy drew thee. (From far away/From long ago the Lord appeared to me, and said, I loved thee with an everlasting love; and so I doing mercy drew thee to me.)
4 And again I shall build thee, and thou, virgin Israel, shalt be builded; yet thou shalt be adorned with thy tympans, and shalt go out in the quire, either company, of players. (And I shall rebuild thee, and thou, virgin of Israel, shalt be rebuilt; yet thou shalt be adorned with thy drums, or with thy tambourines, and thou shalt go out with the group, or with the company, of dancers.)
5 Yet thou shalt plant vines in the hills of Samaria; men planting shall plant, and till the time come, they shall not gather grapes (and when the time come, they shall gather the grapes).
6 For why a day shall be, wherein keepers shall cry in the hill of Samaria, and in the hill of Ephraim, Rise ye, and ascend we into Zion, to our Lord God. (For a day shall be, when watchmen shall cry on the hills of Ephraim, Rise ye, and go we up to Zion, to the Lord our God.)
118 Alleluia. Acknowledge ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is without end. (Alleluia. Give ye thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his love is forever.)
2 Israel say now, for he is good; for his mercy is without end (for his love is forever).
14 The Lord is my strength, and my praising; and he is made to me into health (and he is my salvation, or my deliverance/and he hath saved me).
15 The voice of full out joying and of health; be in the tabernacles of just men. The right hand of the Lord hath done virtue, (The voice of rejoicing and of victory, be in the tents, or the camp, of the righteous. The right hand of the Lord hath done mightily,)
16 the right hand of the Lord enhanced me; the right hand of the Lord hath done virtue. (the right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord hath done mightily.)
17 I shall not die, but I shall live; and I shall tell (out) the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord chastising hath chastised me; and he gave not me to death. (Yea, the Lord hath punished me; but he did not give me over to death.)
19 Open ye to me the gates of rightfulness, and I shall enter by those, and I shall acknowledge to the Lord; (Open ye for me the gates of righteousness, or of victory, and I shall enter in by them, and I shall praise the Lord/and I shall give thanks to the Lord;)
20 this gate is of the Lord, and just men shall enter by it. (this is the gate of the Lord, and the righteous shall enter by it.)
21 I shall acknowledge to thee, for thou heardest me; and art made to me into health. (I shall praise thee, for thou hast answered me; and thou hast given me the victory/and thou art my salvation, or my deliverance/and thou hast saved me.)
22 The stone which the builders reproved; this is made into the head (stone) of the corner. (The stone which the builders rejected; it is made into the chief cornerstone.)
23 This thing is made of the Lord; and it is wonderful before our eyes. (This thing was done by the Lord; and it is wonderful to behold.)
24 This is the day which the Lord made; make we full out joy, and be we glad therein. (This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us rejoice, and be glad in it.)
3 Therefore if ye have risen together with Christ, seek ye those things that be above, where Christ is sitting on the right half of God.
2 Savour ye those things, that be above [Savour, or understand, ye those things that be above], not those that be on the earth.
3 For ye be dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 For when Christ shall appear, your life, then also ye shall appear with him in glory.
34 And Peter opened his mouth, and said, In truth I have found, that God is no acceptor of persons;
35 but in each folk he that dreadeth God, and worketh rightwiseness, is accept to him [is accepted to him].

20 And in one day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the grave, when it was yet dark[a]. And she saw the stone moved away from the grave.
2 Therefore she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to another disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken the Lord from the grave, and we know not, where they have laid him.
3 Therefore Peter went out, and that other disciple, and they came to the grave.
4 And they twain ran together [Forsooth they two ran together], and that other disciple ran before Peter, and came first to the grave.
5 And when he stooped, he saw the sheets lying, nevertheless he entered not [in].
6 Therefore Simon Peter came following him, and he entered into the grave, and he saw the sheets laid,
7 and the sudarium that was on his head, not laid with the sheets, but by itself wrapped into a place.
8 Therefore then [and] that disciple that came first to the grave, entered, and saw, and believed.
9 For they knew not yet the scripture, that it behooved him to rise again from death.[b]
10 Therefore the disciples went again to themselves.
11 But Mary stood at the grave withoutforth weeping. And while she wept, she bowed her(self), and beheld forth into the grave.
12 And she saw two angels sitting in white, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid.
13 And they say to her, Woman, what weepest thou? She said to them, For they have taken away my Lord, and I know not, where they have laid him.
14 When she had said these things, she turned backward [she turned aback], and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith to her, Woman, what weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She guessing that he was the gardener, saith to him, Sire, if thou hast taken him up, say to me, where thou hast laid him, and I shall take him away.
16 Jesus saith to her, Mary. She turned, and saith to him, Rabboni, that is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith to her, Do not thou touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God [and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God].
18 Mary Magdalene came, telling to the disciples, That I saw the Lord, and these things he said to me.
28 But in the eventide of the sabbath [Forsooth in the evening of the sabbath, or holiday], that beginneth to shine in the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came, and another Mary, to see the sepulchre.
2 And lo! there was made a great earth-shaking; for the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and approached, and turned away the stone[a], and sat thereon.
3 And his looking was as lightning, and his clothes as snow; [Soothly his looking was as lightning, and his clothes white as snow;]
4 and for dread of him the keepers were afeared, and they were made as dead men.
5 But the angel answered, and said to the women, Do not ye dread, for I know that ye seek Jesus, that was crucified;
6 he is not here, for he is risen, as he said; come ye, and see ye the place [come ye, and see the place], where the Lord was laid.
7 And go ye soon, and say ye to his disciples [And ye going soon, say to his disciples], that he is risen. And lo! he shall go before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him. Lo! I have before-said to you.
8 And they went out soon from the burials [And they went out soon from the sepulchre], with dread and great joy, running to tell to his disciples.
9 And lo! Jesus met them, and said [saying], Hail ye. And they approached[b], and held his feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then Jesus said to them, Do not ye dread; go ye, tell ye to my brethren, that they go into Galilee; there they shall see me.
