Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
15 ¶ (A)The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a [a]Prophet like unto me, from among you, even of thy brethren: unto him ye shall hearken.
16 According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, when thou saidest, (B)Let me hear the voice of my Lord God no more, nor see this great fire anymore, that I die not.
17 And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken.
18 (C)I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren like unto thee, and will put my words in his [b]mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And whosoever will not hearken unto my words, which he shall speak in my Name, I will [c]require it of him.
20 But the Prophet that shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that speaketh in the name of other gods, even the same Prophet shall die.
111 1 He giveth thanks to the Lord for his merciful works toward his Church, 10 and declareth wherein true wisdom and right knowledge consisteth.
Praise ye the Lord.
1 I will [a]praise the Lord with my whole heart in the assembly and the congregation of the just.
2 The works of the Lord are [b]great, and ought to be sought out of all them that love them.
3 His work is beautiful and glorious, and his righteousness endureth forever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be had in remembrance: the Lord is merciful and full of compassion.
5 He hath given [c]a [d]portion unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath showed to his people the power of his works, in giving unto them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The [e]works of his hands are truth and judgment: all his statutes are true.
8 They are established forever and ever, and are done in truth and equity.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and fearful is his Name.
10 [f]The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord: all they that observe [g]them, have good understanding: his praise endureth forever.
8 1 From this place unto the end of the tenth Chapter, he willeth them not to be at the Gentiles’ profane banquets. 13 He restraineth the abuse of Christian liberty, 11 and showeth that knowledge must be tempered with charity.
1 And as [a]touching things sacrificed unto idols, we know that we [b]all have knowledge: knowledge [c]puffeth up, but love [d]edifieth.
2 Now, if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing, yet as he ought to know.
3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
4 [e]Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed unto [f]idols, we know that an idol is [g]nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven, or in earth (as there be many gods, and many lords.)
6 Yet unto us there is but one God, which is that Father, [h]of whom are all things, and we [i]in him, and (A)[j]one Lord Jesus Christ, [k]by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 [l]But every man hath not that knowledge: for [m]many having [n]conscience of the idol, until this hour, eat as a thing sacrificed unto the idol, and so their conscience being weak, is defiled.
8 [o]But meat maketh us not acceptable to God, for neither if we eat, have we the more: neither if we eat not, have we the less.
9 But take heed lest by any means this power of yours be an occasion of falling, to them that are weak.
10 [p]For if any man see thee which hast knowledge, sit at table in the idols’ temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak, be boldened, to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols?
11 [q]And through thy knowledge shall the (B)weak brother perish, for whom Christ died.
12 [r]Now when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13 (C)[s]Wherefore if meat offend my brother, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, that I may not offend my brother.
21 ¶ So (A)they entered into [a]Capernaum: and straightway on the Sabbath day he entered into the Synagogue, and taught.
22 And they were astonied at his doctrine, (B)for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the Scribes.
23 ¶ [b]And there was in their Synagogue a man [c]in whom was an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 Saying, Ah, what have we to do with thee, O [d]Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee what thou art, even thou [e]holy one of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 And the unclean spirit [f]tare him, and cried with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, so that they demanded [g]one of another, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for he [h]commandeth even the foul spirits with authority, and they obey him.
28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region [i]bordering on Galilee.
