Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
9 [a]For you have made Yahweh—(A)my refuge,
The Most High—(B)your dwelling place.
10 (C)No evil will befall you,
And no plague will come near your [b]tent.
11 For He will command (D)His angels concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will (E)bear you up,
Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will (F)tread upon the fierce lion and cobra,
The young lion and the [c]serpent you will trample down.
14 “(G)Because he has loved Me, therefore I will protect him;
I will (H)set him securely on high, because he has (I)known My name.
15 He will (J)call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in his [d]distress;
I will rescue him and (K)honor him.
16 With [e]a (L)long life I will satisfy him
And (M)I will show him My salvation.”
A Time for Everything
3 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a (A)time for every [a]matter under heaven—
2 A time to give birth and a (B)time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
3 A (C)time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
4 A time to (D)weep and a time to (E)laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to (F)dance.
5 A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.
6 A time to search and a time to lose;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
7 A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to (G)be silent and a time to speak.
8 A time to love and a time to (H)hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 “(A)Now (B)My soul has become dismayed; and what shall I say, ‘(C)Father, (D)save Me from (E)this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 (F)Father, glorify Your name.” Then a (G)voice came from heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “(H)An angel has spoken to Him.” 30 Jesus answered and said, “(I)This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sake. 31 (J)Now judgment is upon this world; now (K)the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, if I (L)am lifted up from the earth, will (M)draw all men to Myself.” 33 But He was saying this (N)to indicate the kind of death by which He was about to die. 34 The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from (O)the Law that (P)the [a]Christ is to remain forever; and how do You say, ‘The (Q)Son of Man must be (R)lifted up’? Who is this (S)Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, “(T)For a little while longer (U)the Light is among you. (V)Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who (W)walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36 While you have the Light, (X)believe in the Light, so that you may become (Y)sons of Light.”
These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and [b](Z)hid Himself from them.
