Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
105 1 He praiseth the singular grace of God, who hath of all the people of the world chosen a peculiar people to himself, and having chosen them, never ceaseth to do them good, even for his promise’s sake.
1 Praise the Lord, and call upon his Name: [a]declare his works among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing praise unto him, and talk of all his wondrous works.
3 Rejoice in his holy Name, let the heart of them that seek the Lord, rejoice.
4 Seek the Lord and his [b]strength: seek his face continually.
5 Remember his [c]marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the [d]judgments of his mouth,
6 Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, which are his elect.
16 Moreover, he called a famine upon the land, and utterly brake the [a]staff of bread.
17 But he sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 They held his feet in the stocks, and he was laid in irons,
19 Until [b]his appointed time came, and the counsel of the Lord had tried him.
20 The King sent and loosed him: even the Ruler of the people delivered him.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance,
22 That he should bind his [c]princes unto his will, and teach his Ancients wisdom.
45 That they might [a]keep his statutes, and observe his Laws. Praise ye the Lord.
36 2 The wives of Esau. 7 Jacob and Esau are rich. 9 The genealogy of Esau. 24 The finding of mules.
1 Now these are [a]the generations of Esau, which is Edom.
2 Esau took his wives of the [b]daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon an Hittite and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon an Hivite.
3 And took Basemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
4 And (A)Adah bare unto Esau, Eliphaz: and Basemath bare Reuel,
5 Also Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau which were born to him in the land of Canaan.
6 So Esau took his wives and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his flocks, and all his cattle, and all his substance, which he had gotten in the land of Canaan, and [c]went into another country from his brother Jacob.
7 For their riches were so great, that they could not dwell together, and the land, wherein they were strangers, could not receive them because of their flocks.
8 (B)Therefore dwelt Esau in mount Seir: this Esau is Edom.
24 [a]And a certain Jew named (A)Apollos, born at Alexandria, came to Ephesus, an eloquent man, and [b]mighty in the Scriptures.
25 The same was instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spake fervently in the Spirit, and taught diligently the things of the Lord, and knew but the baptism of John only.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the Synagogue. Whom when (B)Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the [c]way of God more perfectly.
27 And when he was minded to go into Achaia, the brethren exhorting him, wrote to the disciples to receive him: and after he was come thither, he helped them much which had believed through [d]grace.
28 For mightily he confuted publicly the Jews, with great vehemency, showing by the Scriptures, that Jesus was that Christ.
