Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

⁹ Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.

¹⁰ For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.

¹¹ Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me.

¹² I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.

¹³ For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,

¹⁴ And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my God.'

¹⁵ In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.

¹⁶ Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.

23 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy convocations, [are] these: they [are] My appointed seasons:

³ six days is work done, and in the seventh day [is] a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it [is] a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.

⁴ `These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons:

⁵ in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, [is] the passover to Jehovah;

⁶ and on the fifteenth day of this month [is] the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;

⁷ on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work;

⁸ and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day [is] a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'

22 And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover,

² and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take him up, for they were afraid of the people.

³ And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve,

⁴ and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them,

⁵ and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,

⁶ and he agreed, and was seeking a favourable season to deliver him up to them without tumult.

⁷ And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed,

⁸ and he sent Peter and John, saying, `Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;'

⁹ and they said to him, `Where wilt thou that we might prepare?'

¹⁰ And he said to them, `Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go in,

¹¹ and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat?

¹² and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready;'

¹³ and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover.
