Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
25 Of You is (A)my praise in the great assembly;
I shall (B)pay my vows before those who fear Him.
26 The [a]afflicted will eat and (C)be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will (D)praise Yahweh.
May your (E)heart live forever!
27 All the (F)ends of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh,
And all the (G)families of the nations will worship before [b]You.
28 For the (H)kingdom is Yahweh’s
And He (I)rules over the nations.
29 All the [c](J)prosperous of the earth will eat and worship,
All those who (K)go down to the dust will bow before Him,
Even he who [d](L)cannot keep his soul alive.
30 (M)Their seed will serve Him;
It will be recounted about the Lord to (N)the coming generation.
31 They will come and (O)will declare His righteousness
To a people (P)who will be born, that He has done it.
11 “Behold, days are coming,” declares Lord Yahweh,
“When I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,
But rather (A)for hearing the words of Yahweh.
12 People will wander from sea to sea
And from the north even to the east;
They will go to and fro to (B)seek the word of Yahweh,
But they will not find it.
13 In that day the beautiful (C)virgins
And the choice men will (D)faint from thirst.
9 Now there was a man named Simon, who formerly was practicing (A)magic in the city and astounding the people of Samaria, (B)claiming to be someone great; 10 and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying, “(C)This man is what is called the Great Power of God.” 11 And they were giving him attention because he had for a long time astounded them with his (D)magic arts. 12 But when they believed Philip (E)proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being (F)baptized, both men and women. 13 Even Simon himself believed; and after being baptized, he continued on with Philip, and as he observed (G)signs and (H)great miracles taking place, he was constantly astounded.
14 Now when (I)the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them (J)Peter and John, 15 who came down and prayed for them (K)that they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16 For He had (L)not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been (M)baptized [a]in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then they (N)began laying their hands on them, and they were (O)receiving the Holy Spirit. 18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit had been bestowed through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give this authority to me as well, so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you supposed you could (P)obtain the gift of God with money! 21 You have (Q)no part or portion in this [b]matter, for your heart is not (R)right before God. 22 Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray earnestly to the Lord that, (S)if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in (T)the [c]bondage of unrighteousness.” 24 But Simon answered and said, “(U)Pray earnestly to the Lord for me yourselves, so that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.”
An Ethiopian Receives Christ
25 So, when they had solemnly (V)borne witness and spoken (W)the word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, and were (X)proclaiming the gospel to many villages of the (Y)Samaritans.
