Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
3 1 Moses keepeth sheep, and God appeareth unto him in a bush. 10 He sendeth him to deliver the children of Israel. 14 The name of God.
1 When Moses kept the sheep of Jethro his father-in-law, Priest of Midian, and drove the flock to the [a]back side of the desert, and came to the [b]Mountain of God, [c]Horeb,
2 Then the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him (A)in a flame of fire out of the midst of a [d]bush, and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 Therefore Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush burneth not.
4 And when the [e]Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he answered, I am here.
5 Then he said, Come not hither, [f]put thy shoes off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is [g]holy ground.
6 Moreover he said, (B)I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses hid his face: for he was [h]afraid to look upon God.
7 ¶ Then the Lord said, I have surely seen the trouble of my people, which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry, because of their [i]taskmasters: for I know their sorrows.
8 Therefore I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land into a good land and a large, into a land that [j]floweth with milk and honey, even into the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9 [k]And now lo, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me, and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 ¶ But Moses said unto God, Who am [l]I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he answered, [m]Certainly I will be with thee: and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee, After that thou hast brought the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
13 Then Moses said unto God, Behold, when I shall come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you: if they say unto me, What is his Name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God answered Moses, I [n]AM THAT I AM. Also he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15 And God spake further unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you: this is my Name forever, and this is my memorial unto all ages.
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.
23 Then Israel came to Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger than their oppressors.
25 [a]He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deal craftily with his servants.
26 Then sent he Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.
45 That they might [a]keep his statutes, and observe his Laws. Praise ye the Lord.
9 [a]Let love be without dissimulation. (A)Abhor that which is evil, and cleave unto that which is good.
10 (B)Be affectioned to love one another with brotherly love. In giving honor, go one before another.
11 Not slothful to do service, fervent in spirit [b]serving the Lord,
12 [c]Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, (C)continuing in prayer.
13 (D)[d]Distributing unto the [e]necessities of the Saints: (E)giving yourselves to hospitality.
14 (F)Bless them which persecute you: bless, I say, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be like affectioned one towards another: (G)be not high-minded: but make yourselves equal to them of the [f]lower sort: be not [g]wise in yourselves.
17 (H)Recompense to no man evil for evil: procure things honest in the sight of all men.
18 (I)If it be possible, as much as in you is, have peace with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, (J)avenge not yourselves, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, (K)Vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 (L)Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him: if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap [h]coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with goodness.
21 ¶ [a]From that time forth Jesus began to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the [b]Elders, and of the high Priests, and Scribes, and be slain and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter [c]took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, Master, pity thyself: this shall not be unto thee.
23 [d]Then he turned back, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, [e]Satan: thou art an offence unto me, because thou [f]understandest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
24 [g]Jesus then said to his disciples, (A)If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself: and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For (B)whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, shall [h]find it.
26 (C)For what shall it profit a man though he should win the whole world, if he lose his own soul? or what shall a man give for recompense of his soul?
27 For the son of man shall come [i]in the glory of his Father with his Angels, and (D)then shall he give to every man according to his deeds.
28 (E)Verily I say unto you, there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the Son of man come in his [j]kingdom.
