Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
12 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of the months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Speak unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month let each man take a lamb according to the families of the fathers, a lamb per family;
4 and if the household is too small and is not able to eat the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of persons; each one according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5 The lamb shall be without blemish, a male of one year; ye shall take it out from the sheep or from the goats;
6 and ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.
7 And they shall take of the blood and put it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses in which they shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9 Eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire, his head with his legs, and with the entrails thereof.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 And thus shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’s passover.
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both among man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.
13 And this blood shall be to you for a sign upon the houses where ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it as a feast unto the LORD throughout your ages; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
1 ¶ I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon him all of my days.
12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of saving health and invoke the name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his merciful ones.
16 This is so, O LORD, because I am thy slave; I am thy slave, the son of thine handmaid; thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer unto thee the sacrifice of praise and will invoke the name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Halelu-JAH.
23 ¶ For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread;
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, after he had eaten supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood; do this each time that ye drink, in remembrance of me.
26 For each time that ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye declare the Lord’s death until he comes.
13 ¶ Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he had come from God and was going to God,
4 arose from the supper and laid aside his garments and took a towel and girded himself.
5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.
6 Then he came to Simon Peter, and Peter said unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou dost not understand now, but thou shalt understand afterwards.
8 Peter said unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.
9 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs only to wash his feet because he is completely clean, and ye are clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore, said he, Ye are not all clean.
12 So after he had washed their feet and had taken his garments and had sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me Master and Lord; and ye say well, for so I am.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 For I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The slave is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, ye shall be blessed if ye do them.
31 ¶ Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man clarified, and God is clarified in him.
32 If God is clarified in him, God shall also clarify him in himself and shall straightway clarify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and as I said unto the Jews, Where I go, ye cannot come, so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall everyone know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
