Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
34 ¶ And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD showed him 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 sea,
3 and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4 And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto 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 there.
5 ¶ So Moses, the slave of the LORD, died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor, but no one knows of his sepulchre unto this day.
7 And Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 And the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were fulfilled.
9 ¶ And Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the Spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the sons of Israel hearkened unto him and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
10 And there never arose a prophet since in Israel like Moses, who had known the LORD face to face,
11 in all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his slaves and to all his land,
12 and in all that mighty hand and in all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.
A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
1 ¶ Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3 Thou dost turn unto man until he is broken and thou saith, Become converted, ye sons of Adam.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou dost cause them to pass by as the waters of a river; they are as a dream, which is strong in the morning like grass.
6 In the morning it blossoms and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers.
13 Return unto us, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy slaves.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy, and we shall sing and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days in which thou hast afflicted us and the years in which we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear in thy slaves and thy glory upon their sons.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and set thou aright the work of our hands upon us; yea, set thou aright the work of our hands.
2 ¶ For you yourselves, brethren, know that our entrance unto you was not vain,
2 but having suffered before and having been shamefully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to announce unto you the gospel of God with much diligence.
3 For our exhortation was not of error nor of uncleanness nor in guile,
4 but because we have been approved of God that he might entrust us with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who tries our hearts.
5 For we were never flatterers in the word, as ye know, nor tainted with covetousness, God is witness,
6 nor did we seek glory of men neither of you nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome unto you as the apostles of Christ.
7 ¶ But we were gentle among you, as a mother feeding and caring for her children,
8 loving you so much, that we were willing to give unto you, not only the gospel of God, but even our own souls, because ye are dear unto us.
34 ¶ Then the Pharisees, hearing that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered together.
35 And one of them, who was an interpreter of the law, asked him a question, tempting him and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 ¶ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 saying, What think ye of the Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43 He said unto them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no one was able to answer him a word, neither dared anyone from that day forth ask him any more questions.
