Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
23 (A)You who fear Yahweh, praise Him;
All you seed of Jacob, (B)glorify Him,
And (C)stand in awe of Him, all you seed of Israel.
24 For He has (D)not despised and He has not abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
And He has not (E)hidden His face from him;
But (F)when he cried to Him for help, He heard.
25 Of You is (G)my praise in the great assembly;
I shall (H)pay my vows before those who fear Him.
26 The [a]afflicted will eat and (I)be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will (J)praise Yahweh.
May your (K)heart live forever!
27 All the (L)ends of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh,
And all the (M)families of the nations will worship before [b]You.
28 For the (N)kingdom is Yahweh’s
And He (O)rules over the nations.
29 All the [c](P)prosperous of the earth will eat and worship,
All those who (Q)go down to the dust will bow before Him,
Even he who [d](R)cannot keep his soul alive.
30 (S)Their seed will serve Him;
It will be recounted about the Lord to (T)the coming generation.
31 They will come and (U)will declare His righteousness
To a people (V)who will be born, that He has done it.
7 Now (A)the angel of Yahweh found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to (B)Shur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant-woman, (C)where have you come from and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.” 9 Then the angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress and [a]humble yourself under her hands.” 10 Moreover, the (D)angel of Yahweh said to her, “(E)I will greatly multiply your seed so that [b]they will be too many to be counted.” 11 And the angel of Yahweh said to her further,
“Behold, you [c]are with child,
And you will bear a son;
And you shall call his name [d]Ishmael,
Because (F)Yahweh has heard your affliction.
12 And he will be a (G)wild donkey of a man,
His hand will be against everyone,
And everyone’s hand will be against him;
And he will dwell [e](H)in the face of all his brothers.”
13 Then she called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “[f]You are [g]a God who sees”; for she said, “(I)Have I even [h]remained alive here after seeing Him?” 14 Therefore the well was called [i]Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between (J)Kadesh and Bered.
15 So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Peter Confesses Jesus Is the Christ
27 (A)And Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of (B)Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He was asking His disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 (C)And they told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.” 29 And He continued asking them, “But who do you say that I am?” (D)Peter *answered and *said to Him, “You are the [a]Christ.” 30 And (E)He [b]warned them to tell no one about Him.
