1 If the Lord himself had not been on our side, ♦︎
now may Israel say;
2 If the Lord had not been on our side, ♦︎
when enemies rose up against us;
3 Then would they have swallowed us alive ♦︎
when their anger burned against us;
4 Then would the waters have overwhelmed us
and the torrent gone over our soul; ♦︎
over our soul would have swept the raging waters.
5 But blessed be the Lord ♦︎
who has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.
6 Our soul has escaped
as a bird from the snare of the fowler; ♦︎
the snare is broken and we are delivered.
7 Our help is in the name of the Lord, ♦︎
who has made heaven and earth.

15 Realizing that their father was dead, Josephs brothers said, What if Joseph still bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for all the wrong that we did to him? 16So they approached* Joseph, saying, Your father gave this instruction before he died, 17Say to Joseph: I beg you, forgive the crime of your brothers and the wrong they did in harming you. Now therefore please forgive the crime of the servants of the God of your father. Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18Then his brothers also wept,* fell down before him, and said, We are here as your slaves. 19But Joseph said to them, Do not be afraid! Am I in the place of God? 20Even though you intended to do harm to me, God intended it for good, in order to preserve a numerous people, as he is doing today. 21So have no fear; I myself will provide for you and your little ones. In this way he reassured them, speaking kindly to them.
22 So Joseph remained in Egypt, he and his fathers household; and Joseph lived for one hundred and ten years. 23Joseph saw Ephraims children of the third generation; the children of Machir son of Manasseh were also born on Josephs knees.
24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, I am about to die; but God will surely come to you, and bring you up out of this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 25So Joseph made the Israelites swear, saying, When God comes to you, you shall carry up my bones from here. 26And Joseph died, being one hundred and ten years old; he was embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt.

5 When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread.
6Jesus said to them, Watch out, and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7They said to one another, It is because we have brought no bread.
8And becoming aware of it, Jesus said, You of little faith, why are you talking about having no bread?
9Do you still not perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?
10Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?
11How could you fail to perceive that I was not speaking about bread? Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!
12Then they understood that he had not told them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
