Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
12 Now Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and [a]remain there, and (A)I will give you the stone tablets [b]with the [c]law and the commandment which I have written for their instruction.” 13 So Moses arose [d]with (B)Joshua his [e]attendant, and Moses went up to (C)the mountain of God. 14 But to the elders he said, “(D)Remain here for us until we return to you. And behold, (E)Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever [f]has a legal matter, let him approach them.” 15 Then Moses went up to the mountain, and (F)the cloud covered the mountain. 16 (G)And the glory of Yahweh dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day He (H)called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. 17 (I)And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a (J)consuming fire on the mountain top, in the eyes of the sons of Israel. 18 Then Moses entered the midst of the cloud [g]as he went up to the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain (K)forty days and forty nights.
The Reign of Yahweh’s Anointed
2 Why do (A)the [a]nations rage
And the peoples (B)meditate on a vain thing?
2 The (C)kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
(D)Against Yahweh and against His [b](E)Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us (F)tear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!”
4 He who [c]sits in the heavens (G)laughs,
The Lord (H)mocks them.
5 Then He speaks to them in His (I)anger
And (J)terrifies them in His fury, saying,
6 “But as for Me, I have [d]installed (K)My King
Upon Zion, (L)My holy mountain.”
7 “I will surely tell of the [e]decree of Yahweh:
He said to Me, ‘You are (M)My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and (N)I will surely give (O)the [f]nations as Your inheritance,
And the (P)ends of the earth as Your possession.
9 You shall [g](Q)break them with a [h]rod of iron,
You shall (R)shatter them like a potter’s vessel.’”
Holy Is Yahweh Our God
99 (A)Yahweh reigns, let the peoples tremble;
He (B)sits enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth quake!
2 Yahweh is (C)great in Zion,
And He is (D)exalted above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your (E)great and awesome name;
(F)Holy is [a]He.
4 [b]The strength of the King (G)loves [c]justice;
You have established [d](H)equity;
You have (I)done [e]justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 (J)Exalt Yahweh our God
And (K)worship at the footstool of His feet;
(L)Holy is He.
6 (M)Moses and Aaron were among His (N)priests,
And (O)Samuel was among those who (P)called on His name;
They (Q)would call upon Yahweh and He would answer them.
7 He (R)would speak to them in the pillar of cloud;
They (S)kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.
8 O Yahweh our God, You (T)answered them;
You were a (U)forgiving God to them,
And yet an (V)avenger of their evil deeds.
9 Exalt Yahweh our God
And worship at His holy mountain,
For holy is Yahweh our God.
Eyewitnesses of Jesus
16 For we did not make known to you the (A)power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cleverly devised (B)myths, but being (C)eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an [a](D)utterance as this was [b]made to Him by the (E)Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”— 18 and we ourselves heard this [c]utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the (F)holy mountain.
19 [d]And we have as more (G)sure (H)the prophetic word, to which you do well to pay attention as to (I)a lamp shining in a dark place, until the (J)day dawns and the (K)morning star arises (L)in your hearts. 20 (M)Know this first of all, that (N)no prophecy of Scripture comes by one’s own interpretation. 21 For (O)no prophecy was ever made by the will of man, but men being (P)moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
The Transfiguration
17 And (A)six days later Jesus *brought with Him (B)Peter and James and John his brother, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, (C)I will make three [a]booths here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, (D)a voice out of the cloud said, “(E)This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!” 6 And when the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified. 7 And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, “Get up, and (F)do not be afraid.” 8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.
9 (G)And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “(H)Tell the vision to no one until (I)the Son of Man has (J)risen from the dead.”
