Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

¹⁸ For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my indignation hath been kindled against the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my indignation be kindled against you, when you shall enter into Egypt, and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach: and you shall see this place no more.

¹⁹ This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O ye remnant of Juda: Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have adjured you this day.

²⁰ For you have deceived your own souls: for you sent me to the Lord our God, saying: Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all that the Lord our God shall say to thee, so declare unto us, and we will do it.

²¹ And now I have declared it to you this day, and you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, with regard to all the things for which he hath sent me to you.

²² Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence in the place to which you desire to go to dwell there.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not.

⁶ But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁷ And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.

⁹ Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:

¹⁰ Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat.

¹¹ And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.

¹² And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.

¹³ And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.

¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.

¹⁵ Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹⁶ Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.

¹⁷ But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.

¹⁸ And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles:

¹⁹ But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak.

²⁰ For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.

²¹ The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death.

²² And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.

²³ And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.
