37And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
²These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
³Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
⁴And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
¹²And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
¹³And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
¹⁴And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
¹⁵And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
¹⁶And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
¹⁷And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
¹⁸And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
¹⁹And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
²⁰Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
²¹And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
²²And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
²³And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
²⁴And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
²⁵And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
²⁶And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
²⁷Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
²⁸Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.

Psalm 105

¹O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
²Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
³Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
⁴Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
⁵Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
⁶O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
¹⁶Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
¹⁷He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
¹⁸Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
¹⁹Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.
²⁰The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
²¹He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
²²To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
⁴⁵That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.

⁵For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
⁶But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
⁷Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
⁸But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
¹¹For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
¹²For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
¹³For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
¹⁴How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
¹⁵And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

²²And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
²³And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
²⁴But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
²⁵And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
²⁶And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
²⁷But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
²⁸And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
²⁹And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
³⁰But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
³¹And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
³²And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
³³Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
