FIRST READING

Deuteronomy 34:1-7

Verse 1. Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which faces Jericho. And the LORD showed him the whole land — from Gilead as far as Dan, Verse 2. all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, Verse 3. the Negev, and the region from the Valley of Jericho (the City of Palms) all the way to Zoar. Verse 4. And the LORD said to him, “This is the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.” Verse 5. So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said. Verse 6. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows the location of his grave. Verse 7. Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not diminished.

PSALM

Psalm 47

Verse 1. For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout unto God with a voice of triumph.

Verse 5. God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of the horn.
Verse 6. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!
Verse 7. For God is King of all the earth; sing to Him a psalm of praise.
Verse 8. God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.
Verse 9. The nobles of the nations have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.

SECOND READING

John 16:4-11

Verse 4. But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. Verse 5. Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ Verse 6. Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things. Verse 7. But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. Verse 8. And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: Verse 9. in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me; Verse 10. in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me; Verse 11. and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.
