Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
34 1 Moses seeth all the Land of Canaan. 5 He dieth. 8. Israel weepeth. 9 Joshua succeedeth in Moses’ room. 10 The praise of Moses.
1 Then Moses went from the plain of Moab up into mount [a]Nebo unto the top of Pisgah that is over against Jericho: and the Lord showed him (A)all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2 And all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost [b]sea:
3 And the South, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4 And the Lord said unto him, (B)This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.
6 And [c]he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab over against Beth Peor, but no man knoweth of his sepulcher unto [d]this day.
7 Moses was now an hundred and twenty years old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated:
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plain of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
9 And [e]Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom: for Moses had put his hands upon him. And the children of Israel were obedient unto him, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
10 But there arose not a Prophet since in Israel like unto Moses (whom the Lord knew [f]face to face.)
11 In all the miracles and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt before Pharaoh and before all his servants, and before all his land,
12 And in all that mighty [g]hand and all that great fear, which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel.
90 1 Moses in his prayer setteth before us the eternal favor of God toward his, 3 who are neither admonished by the brevity of their life, 7 nor by his plagues to be thankful, 12 therefore Moses prayeth God to turn their hearts, and continue his mercies toward them and their posterity forever.
A prayer of Moses, [a]the man of God.
1 Lord, thou hast been our [b]habitation from generation to generation.
2 Before the [c]mountains were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art our God.
3 Thou [d]turnest man to destruction: again thou sayest, Return ye sons of Adam.
4 [e]For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou hast [f]overflowed them, they are as a sleep, in the morning he groweth like the grass:
6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth, but in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
13 Return (O Lord, [a]how long?) and be [b]pacified toward thy servants.
14 Fill us with thy mercy in the morning: so shall we rejoice and be glad all our days?
15 Comfort us according to the days that thou hast afflicted us, and according to the years that we have seen evil.
16 [c]Let thy work be seen toward thy servants, and thy glory upon their [d]children.
17 And let the [e]beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and [f]direct thou the work of our hands upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
2 1 He declareth how faithfully he preacheth the Gospel unto them, 5 seeking neither gain, 6 nor praise of men: 10 and he proveth the same by their own testimony: 14 that they did courageously bear persecution of their countrymen: 17 that he desireth very much to see them.
1 For [a]ye yourselves know, brethren, that our entrance in unto you was not in vain,
2 [b]But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated at (A)Philippi, (as ye know) we were bold in [c]our God, to speak unto you the Gospel of God, with much striving.
3 [d]For our exhortation was not by deceit, nor [e]by uncleanness, nor by guile.
4 [f]But as we were [g]allowed of God, that the Gospel should be committed unto us, so we speak, not as they that please men, but God, which [h]approveth our hearts:
5 Neither yet did we ever use flattering words, as ye know, nor colored covetousness, God is record.
6 [i]Neither sought we praise of men, neither of you, nor of others, when we might have been [j]chargeable, as the Apostles of Christ.
7 But we were [k]gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children.
8 [l]Thus being affectioned toward you, our good will was to have dealt unto you, not the Gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
34 ¶ (A)[a]But when the Pharisees had heard, that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they assembled together.
35 And [b]one of them, which was an expounder of the Law, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?
37 Jesus said to him, (B)Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy [c]soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and the great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto this, (C)Thou shalt love thy [d]neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hangeth the whole Law and the Prophets.
41 ¶(D)[e]While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? [f]whose son is he? They said unto him, David’s.
43 He said unto them, How then doth David in spirit, call him Lord, saying,
44 (E)The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If then David call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And none could answer him a word, neither durst any from that day forth ask him any more questions.
