Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
78 Hear my doctrine, O my people. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable. I will declare high sentences of old
3 which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children; but to the generation to come we will show the praise of the LORD, His power also, and His wonderful works that He has done.
5 How He established a testimony in Jacob and ordained a Law in Israel. Which He commanded our fathers that they should teach their children,
6 so that the posterity might know it and the children which should be born should stand up and declare it to their children.
7 So that they might set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His Commandments.
20 The LORD also spoke to Joshua, saying:
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘Appoint cities of refuge for yourself, of which I spoke to you by the hand of Moses,
3 “so that the killer who kills any person by ignorance, unwittingly, may flee from there. And they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
4 “And he who flees to one of those cities shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city and shall state his case to the elders of the city. And they shall receive him to themselves into the city and give him a place, so that he may dwell with them.
5 “And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, they shall not deliver the killer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor unintentionally, nor did he hate him beforehand.
6 “But he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the Congregation in judgment, or until the death of the High Priest in those days. Then the killer shall return and come to his own city and to his own house, to the city from where he fled.”
7 Then they appointed Kedesh in Galilee on Mount Naphtali, and Shechem on Mount Ephraim, and Kirjath Arba (which is Hebron) on the Mountain of Judah.
8 And on the other side of Jordan, toward Jericho, eastward, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness, upon the plain, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead, out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, out of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourned among them, so that whoever killed any person unintentionally, might flee there and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood until he stood before the Congregation.
24 And Jesus went out and departed from the Temple. And His disciples came to Him to show Him the building of the Temple.
2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, there shall not be left a stone upon a stone here, that shall not be cast down.”
3 And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, His disciples came to Him alone, saying, “Tell us when these things shall be. And what sign shall there be of Your coming, and of the end of the world?”
4 And Jesus answered, and said to them, “See to it that no one deceives you.
5 “For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am Christ’, and shall deceive many.
6 “And you shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled. For all these things must happen. But the end is not yet.
7 “For nation shall rise against nation, and realm against realm. And there shall be famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in diverse places.
8 “All these are but the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Then they shall deliver you up to tribulation and shall kill you. And you shall be hated by all nations, for My Name’s sake.
10 “And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 “And many false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many.
12 “And because iniquity shall be increased, the love of many shall be cold.
13 “But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved.
14 “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached through the whole world, for a witness to all nations. And then the end shall come.
