Old Testament Reading
Deuteronomy 34:1-12 Pew Bible OT Pg.191
Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top
of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho, and the LORD showed him the whole
land: Gilead as far as Dan, 2 all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and
Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, 3 the Negeb,
and the Plain—that is, the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees—as far
as Zoar. 4 The LORD said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your
descendants’; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross
over there.” 5 Then Moses, the servant of the LORD, died there in the land
of Moab, at the LORD’s command. 6 He was buried in a valley in the land
of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this
day. 7 Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his sight
was unimpaired and his vigor had not abated. 8 The Israelites wept for
Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the period of mourning for
Moses was ended.
9
Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had
laid his hands on him; and the Israelites obeyed him, doing as the LORD
had commanded Moses.
10
Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the
LORD knew face to face. 11 He was unequaled for all the signs and
wonders that the LORD sent him to perform in the land of Egypt, against
Pharaoh and all his servants and his entire land, 12 and for all the mighty
deeds and all the terrifying displays of power that Moses performed in the
sight of all Israel.
New Testament Reading
1 Thessalonians 2:1-8 Pew Bible NT Pg.203
You yourselves know, brothers and sisters, that our coming to you was not
in vain, 2 but though we had already suffered and been shamefully
mistreated at Philippi, as you know, we had courage in our God to declare
to you the gospel of God in spite of great opposition. 3 For our appeal does
not spring from deceit or impure motives or trickery, 4 but just as we have
been approved by God to be entrusted with the message of the gospel, even
so we speak, not to please mortals, but to please God who tests our hearts.
5
As you know and as God is our witness, we never came with words of
flattery or with a pretext for greed; 6 nor did we seek praise from mortals,
whether from you or from others, 7 though we might have made demands
as apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, like a nurse tenderly
caring for her own children. 8 So deeply do we care for you that we are
determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own
selves, because you have become very dear to us.
Gospel Reading
Matthew 22:34-46
Pew Bible NT Pg.25
34
When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they
gathered together, 35 and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test
him. 36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said
to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all
your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first
commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets.”
41
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them this
question: 42 “What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?” They
said to him, “The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that
David by the Spirit calls him Lord, saying,
44
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet”’?
45
If David thus calls him Lord, how can he be his son?” 46 No one was able
to give him an answer, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any
more questions.
