Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

130 Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

² If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

³ Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

¹⁶ And it was heard, and the fame was abroad in the king's court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.

¹⁷ And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.

¹⁸ And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow of the land.

¹⁹ Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:

²⁰ And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.

²¹ And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao's commandment: and provisions for the way.

²² He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with five robes of the best:

²³ Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.

²⁴ So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.

²⁵ And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.

²⁶ And they told him, saying: Joseph thy son is living: and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet did not believe them.

²⁷ They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons and all that he had sent his spirit revived,

²⁸ And he said: It is enough for me, if Joseph my son be yet living: I will go and see him before I die.

8 And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him:

² And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

³ And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴ And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

⁵ And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,

⁶ And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grieviously tormented.

⁷ And Jesus saith to him: I will come and heal him.

⁸ And the centurion making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

⁹ For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth, and to another, Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

¹⁰ And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed him: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel.

¹¹ And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven:

¹² But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was healed at the same hour.
