Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Beth
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By (A)keeping it according to Your word.
10 With (B)all my heart I have sought You;
Do not let me (C)stray from Your commandments.
11 Your word I have (D)treasured in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.
12 Blessed are You, O Yahweh;
(E)Teach me Your statutes.
13 With my lips I have (F)recounted
All the (G)judgments of Your mouth.
14 I have (H)rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
[a]As much as in all riches.
15 I will (I)muse upon Your precepts
And look upon (J)Your ways.
16 I shall [b](K)delight in Your statutes;
I shall (L)not forget Your word.
No God Besides Yahweh
44 “But now hear, O Jacob, My (A)servant,
And Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 Thus says Yahweh who made you
And (B)formed you from the womb, who (C)will help you,
‘(D)Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,
And you (E)Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
3 For (F)I will pour out water on [a]the thirsty ground
And streams on the dry land;
I will (G)pour out My Spirit on your (H)seed
And My blessing on your offspring;
4 And they will spring up [b]among the grass
Like (I)poplars by streams of water.’
5 This one will say, ‘I am Yahweh’s’;
And this one [c]will call on the name of Jacob;
And this one will (J)write [d]on his hand, ‘Belonging to Yahweh,’
And will name Israel’s name with honor.
6 “Thus says Yahweh, the (K)King of Israel and his (L)Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts:
‘I am the (M)first, and I am the last,
And there is no God (N)besides Me.
7 Who is like Me? (O)Let him call out and declare it;
And let him tell it to Me in order,
[e]From the time that I established the ancient [f]people.
And let them declare to them the things that are to come
And the events that are going to take place.
8 Do not be in dread and do not be afraid;
(P)Have I not long since caused it to be heard to you and declared it?
And (Q)you are My witnesses.
Is there any God (R)besides Me,
Or is there any other (S)Rock?
I know of none.’”
Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost
14 But Peter, [a]taking his stand with (A)the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words. 15 For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, (B)for it is the [b]third hour of the day; 16 but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 ‘(C)And it shall be in the last days,’ God says,
‘That I will pour out My Spirit on all [c]mankind;
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see visions,
And your old men shall dream dreams;
18 Even on My male slaves and female slaves,
I will in those days pour out My Spirit
And they shall prophesy.
19 And I will put wonders in the sky above
And signs on the earth below,
Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood,
Before the great and awesome day of the [d]Lord comes.
21 And it will be that (D)everyone who calls on the name of the [e]Lord will be saved.’
22 “Men of Israel, listen to these words: (E)Jesus the Nazarene, (F)a man [f]attested to you by God with [g]miracles and (G)wonders and [h]signs which God did through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— 23 this Man, delivered over by the (H)predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, (I)you nailed to a cross by the hands of lawless men and put Him to death. 24 [i]But (J)God raised Him up again, putting an end to the [j]agony of death, since it (K)was impossible for Him to be held [k]in its power.
