Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Zion’s Glory and New Name
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,
Until her (A)righteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her (B)salvation like a torch that is burning.
2 The (C)nations will see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory;
And you will be called by a new (D)name
Which the mouth of Yahweh will designate.
3 You will also be a (E)crown of glory in the hand of Yahweh,
And a turban of royalty in the hand of your God.
4 It will no longer be said to you, “[a](F)Forsaken,”
Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “[b]Desolate”;
But you will be called, “[c]My delight is in her,”
And your land, “[d](G)Married”;
For (H)Yahweh takes pleasure in you,
And to Him your land will be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
So your sons will marry you;
And as the [e]bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So your (I)God will rejoice over you.
5 Your (A)lovingkindness, O Yahweh, is in the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6 Your (B)righteousness is like the [a]mountains of God;
Your (C)judgments are like a great deep.
O Yahweh, You (D)save man and beast.
7 How (E)precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the sons of men (F)take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8 They [b]are (G)satisfied from the [c]richness of Your house;
And You give them to drink of the (H)river of Your delights.
9 For with You is the (I)fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.
Concerning Spiritual Gifts
12 Now concerning (A)spiritual gifts, brothers, (B)I do not want you to be ignorant. 2 (C)You know that when you were pagans, you were (D)being led astray to the (E)mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking [a](F)by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is [b](G)accursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is (H)Lord,” except [c](I)by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are (J)varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 6 And there are varieties of workings, but the same (K)God who works everything in everyone. 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit (L)for what is profitable. 8 For to one is given the word of (M)wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of (N)knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to someone else (O)faith [d]by the same Spirit, and to another (P)gifts of [e]healing [f]by the one Spirit, 10 and to another the workings of (Q)miracles, and to another (R)prophecy, and to another the [g](S)distinguishing of spirits, to someone else various (T)kinds of tongues, and to another the [h](U)translation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, (V)distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
The Wedding at Cana
2 And on (A)the third day there was a wedding in (B)Cana of Galilee, and the (C)mother of Jesus was there; 2 and both Jesus and His (D)disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus *said to her, “(E)Woman, [a](F)what do I have to do with you? (G)My hour has not yet come.” 5 His (H)mother *said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” 6 Now there were six stone water jars set there (I)for the Jewish custom of purification, containing [b]two or three measures each. 7 Jesus *said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it to him. 9 Now when the headwaiter tasted the water (J)which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the bridegroom, 10 and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people (K)have [c]drunk freely, then the inferior wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 Jesus did this in Cana of (L)Galilee as the beginning of His [d](M)signs, and manifested His (N)glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
