Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
86 Bow down Your ear, O LORD, and hear me; for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am merciful. My God, save Your servant who trusts in You.
3 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I cry upon You continually.
4 Rejoice the soul of Your servant. For to You, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
5 For You, LORD, are good and merciful and of great kindness to all those who call upon You.
6 Give ear, LORD, to my prayer and pay attention to the voice of my supplication.
7 In the day of my trouble, I will call upon You; for You hear me.
8 Among the gods there is none like You, O LORD; and there are none like Your works.
9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O LORD, and shall glorify Your Name.
10 For You are great and do wondrous things. You are God, alone.
35 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise. Go up to Bethel and dwell there and make there an altar to God (Who appeared to you when you fled from Esau, your brother).”
2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the strange gods that are among you; and cleanse yourselves and change your garments.
3 “For we will rise and go up to Bethel. And I will make there an altar to God (Who heard me on the day of my tribulation and was with me on the way which I went).”
4 And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hands, and all their earrings which were in their ears. And Jacob hid them under an oak which was by Shechem.
17 Then the High Priest, and all who were with him (which was the sect of the Sadducees), rose up and were full of indignation;
18 and laid hands on the Apostles and put them in the common prison.
19 But the Angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them forth, and said,
20 “Go your way and stand in the Temple. And speak all the words of this life to the people.”
21 So when they heard it, they entered into the Temple early in the morning, and taught. And the High Priest came (and those who were with him), and called the Council together, and all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent word to the prison to have them brought.
22 But when the officers came, and did not find them in the prison, they returned and told it,
23 saying, “Indeed we found the prison locked as securely as was possible, and the guards standing outside, in front of the doors. But when we had opened it, we found no one inside.”
24 Then, when the High Priest and the Captain of the Temple and the chief priests heard these things, they were in doubt of what would become of this.
25 Then one came and reported to them, saying, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the Temple, and teach the people.”
26 Then the captain went, with the officers, and brought them, without violence (for they feared that the people might stone them).
