Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

A Song of degrees.

¹ ¶ Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye slaves of the LORD, who by night stand in the house of the LORD.

² Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

³ The LORD that made the heavens and the earth bless thee out of Zion.

24 ¶ And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship afar off.

² And Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.

³ And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and all the rights, and all the people answered with one voice and said, All the words which the LORD has said we will do.

⁴ And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD and rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mount and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵ And he sent the young men of the sons of Israel, who had offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of bullocks unto the LORD.

⁶ And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

⁷ And he took the book of the covenant and read in the audience of the people, and they said, All that the LORD has said we will do, and we will hear.

⁸ Then Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.

⁹ ¶ Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,

¹⁰ and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone like unto the heaven when it is clear.

¹¹ But he did not lay his hand upon the princes of the sons of Israel, and they saw God and ate and drank.

21 ¶ After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and he manifested himself in this manner:

² Simon Peter and Thomas, called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee and the sons of Zebedee and two other of his disciples were together.

³ Simon Peter said unto them, I am going fishing. They said unto him, Let us also go with thee. They went forth and entered into a ship immediately, and that night they caught nothing.

⁴ But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not understand that it was Jesus.

⁵ Then Jesus said unto them, Children, have ye any food? They answered him, No.

⁶ And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right hand side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

⁷ Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea.

⁸ And the other disciples came in the little ship (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits), dragging the net with the fishes.

⁹ As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and a fish laid thereon, and bread.

¹⁰ Jesus said unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

¹¹ Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty-three; and being so many, yet the net was not broken.

¹² Jesus said unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples dared to ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

¹³ Jesus then came and took the bread and gave them, and the fish likewise.

¹⁴ This was now the third time that Jesus manifested himself to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.
