Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

62 ¶ For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace; and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest until her righteousness goes forth as brightness and her saving health is lit as a flaming torch.

² And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness and all the kings thy glory; and thou shalt be given a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

³ Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

⁴ Thou shalt no longer be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any longer be termed Desolate; but thou shalt be called Hephzibah {Heb. my will in her} and thy land Beulah; {Heb. married} for the will of the LORD shall be in thee, and thy land shall be married.

⁵ For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee; and as the bridegroom rejoices with the bride, so shall thy God rejoice with thee.

⁵ ¶ Thy mercy, O LORD, reaches unto the heavens, and thy truth reaches unto the clouds.

⁶ Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep; O LORD, thou dost preserve man and beast.

⁷ How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the sons of Adam cover themselves in the shadow of thy wings.

⁸ They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

⁹ For with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light shall we see light.

¹⁰ Extend thy mercy unto those that know thee and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

12 ¶ Now regarding spiritual things, brothers, I would not have you ignore them.

² Ye know that when ye were Gentiles, ye went, even as ye were led, unto the dumb idols.

³ Therefore I give you to understand, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus anathema and that no one can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy Spirit.

⁴ Now there is dispersal of gifts, but the same Spirit.

⁵ And there is dispersal of ministries, but the same Lord.

⁶ And there is dispersal of operations, but it is the same God who works all in each one.

⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one to profit with.

⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit a word of wisdom; to another, a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;

⁹ to another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

¹⁰ to another, the operation of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, different kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues:

¹¹ one and the same Spirit operates all these things, dispersing to each one his own gift as he wills.

2 ¶ And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,

² and Jesus and his disciples were also called to the marriage.

³ And being short of wine, the mother of Jesus said unto him, They have no wine.

⁴ Jesus said unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? My hour is not yet come.

⁵ His mother said unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

⁶ And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

⁷ Jesus said unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

⁸ And he said unto them, Draw out now and bear unto the butler. And they bore it.

⁹ When the butler had tasted the water that was made wine and knew not where it was from (but the servants who drew the water knew), the butler called the bridegroom

¹⁰ and said unto him, Every man at the beginning sets forth the good wine, and when they are well satisfied, then that which is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

¹¹ This beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and manifested forth his glory, and his disciples believed on him.
