Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Psalm 93[a]
93 The Lord reigns.
He is robed in majesty.
The Lord is robed;
he wears strength around his waist.[b]
Indeed, the world is established; it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne has been secure from ancient times;
you have always been king.[c]
3 The waves[d] roar, O Lord,
the waves roar,
the waves roar and crash.[e]
4 Above the sound of the surging water,[f]
and the mighty waves of the sea,
the Lord sits enthroned in majesty.[g]
5 The rules you set down[h] are completely reliable.[i]
Holiness[j] aptly adorns your house, O Lord, forever.[k]
13 He picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen off him, and went back and stood on the shore of the Jordan. 14 He took the cloak that had fallen off Elijah,[a] hit the water with it, and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided and Elisha crossed over.
15 When the members of the prophetic guild in Jericho, who were standing at a distance,[b] saw him do this, they said, “The spirit that energized Elijah[c] rests upon Elisha.” They went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.
Where Jesus Came From and Where He is Going
21 Then Jesus[a] said to them again,[b] “I am going away, and you will look for me[c] but will die in your sin.[d] Where I am going you cannot come.” 22 So the Jewish leaders[e] began to say,[f] “Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’” 23 Jesus replied,[g] “You people[h] are from below; I am from above. You people are from this world; I am not from this world. 24 Thus I told you[i] that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he,[j] you will die in your sins.”
25 So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus replied,[k] “What I have told you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge[l] about you, but the Father[m] who sent me is truthful,[n] and the things I have heard from him I speak to the world.”[o] 27 (They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.)[p]
28 Then Jesus said,[q] “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he,[r] and I do nothing on my own initiative,[s] but I speak just what the Father taught me.[t] 29 And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone,[u] because I always do those things that please him.” 30 While he was saying these things, many people[v] believed in him.
