Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

²³ The father and mother of Moses believed God. When he was born, they hid him for three months because they saw that he was a very nice baby. They were not afraid of the king's orders.

²⁴ Moses believed God. When he was grown up, he did not want to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter.

²⁵ He chose to have troubles along with God's people. He thought that was better than the fun which he could have living a wrong life. The fun would last only for a short time.

²⁶ He thought it was better to take shame, as Christ did, than to be a rich man in Egypt. He was looking for God's blessings.

²⁷ He believed God and left Egypt. He was not afraid of the king's anger. He was strong because he saw the one who cannot be seen.

²⁸ He believed God and obeyed his law about the Passover Feast, and put blood on the door posts. He did this so that the angel who killed the oldest sons of the Egyptians, would pass over. Then he would not kill the oldest sons in the families of the Jews.

²⁹ The people believed God and went through the Red Sea on dry land. When the people of Egypt tried to do that, they were drowned.
