OLD TESTAMENT: Exodus 34: 29 - 35 (ECUSA)
Exod 34:29 (NRSV) Moses came down from Mount
Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of
the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone
because he had been talking with God. 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw
Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him.
31 But Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation
returned to him, and Moses spoke with them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites
came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with
him on Mount Sinai. 33 When Moses had finished speaking
with them, he put a veil on his face; 34 but whenever Moses went in before the
LORD to speak with him, he would take the veil off, until he came out; and when
he came out, and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35 the
Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of his face was shining;
and Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with
him.
Daniel 7: 9 - 10, 13 -
14 (C of E, Canada, Roman Catholic)
Dani 7:9 (NRSV) As I watched,
thrones were set in place,
and an Ancient One took his throne,
his clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames,
and its wheels were burning fire.
10 A stream of fire issued
and flowed out from his presence.
A thousand thousands served him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood attending him.
The court sat in judgment,
and the books were opened.
13 As I watched in the night visions,
I saw one like a human being
coming with the clouds of heaven.
And he came to the Ancient One
and was presented before him.
14 To him was given dominion
and glory and kingship,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that shall not pass away,
and his kingship is one
that shall never be destroyed.
PSALM 99: (1 - 4) 5 -
9 (ECUSA, Canada)
99 Dominus regnavit (ECUSA
BCP)
1 The Lord is King;
let the people tremble; *
he is enthroned upon the cherubim;
let the earth shake.
2 The Lord is great in Zion; *
he is high above all peoples.
3 Let them confess his Name, which is great and
awesome; *
he is the Holy One.
4 "O mighty King, lover of justice,
you have established equity; *
you have executed justice and righteousness
in Jacob."
5 Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God
and fall down before his footstool; *
he is the Holy One.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests,
and Samuel among those who call upon his Name, *
they called upon the Lord, and he answered
them.
7 He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; *
they kept his testimonies and the decree
that he gave them.
8 "O Lord our God, you answered them indeed;
*
you were a God who forgave them,
yet punished them for their evil
deeds."
9 Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God
and worship him upon his holy hill; *
for the Lord our God is the Holy One.
Psalm 97 (C of E)
Psalm 97: 1 - 2, 5 - 6,
9 (Roman Catholic)
Psal 97:1 (NRSV) The LORD is king! Let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!
2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his
throne.
3 Fire goes before him,
and consumes his adversaries on every side.
4 His lightnings light up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness;
and all the peoples behold his glory.
7 All worshipers of images are put to shame,
those who make their boast in worthless idols;
all gods bow down before him.
8 Zion hears
and is glad,
and the towns of Judah
rejoice,
because of your judgments, O God.
9 For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
10 The LORD loves those who hate evil;
he guards the lives of his faithful;
he rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light dawns for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous,
and give thanks to his holy name!
NEW TESTAMENT: 2 Peter 1: 13 - 21 (ECUSA)
2 Peter
1: 16 - 19 (Roman Catholic, Canada C of E)
2Pet 1:13 (NRSV) I think it right, as long as I am in this
body, to refresh your memory, 14 since I know that my death will come soon, as
indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15 And I will make every
effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these
things.
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we
made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had
been eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received honor and glory from God
the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying,
"This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased." 18 We
ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy
mountain.
19 So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed.
You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place,
until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 First of all
you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's
own interpretation, 21 because no prophecy ever came by human will, but men and
women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
GOSPEL: Luke 9: 28 - 36 (all)
Luke 9:28 (NRSV) Now about eight days after these sayings
Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to
pray. 29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his
clothes became dazzling white. 30 Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah,
talking to him. 31 They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure,
which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they
had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 33
Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good
for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and
one for Elijah"-not knowing what he said. 34 While he was saying this, a
cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the
cloud. 35 Then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my Son, my Chosen;
listen to him!" 36 When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And
they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen.
