Exodus
9
Exo
9:1 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him,
'This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my
people go, that they may serve me.
Exo
9:2 For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
Exo
9:3 behold, the hand of Yahweh is on your livestock which are in the
field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds,
and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
Exo
9:4 Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel
and the livestock of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that
belongs to the children of Israel." ' "
Exo
9:5 Yahweh appointed a set time, saying, "Tomorrow Yahweh shall
do this thing in the land."
Exo
9:6 Yahweh did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of
Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one
died.
Exo
9:7 Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the
livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was
stubborn, and he didn't let the people go.
Exo
9:8 Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, "Take to you handfuls of
ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the
sight of Pharaoh.
Exo
9:9 It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall
be a boil breaking forth with boils on man and on animal, throughout
all the land of Egypt."
Exo
9:10 They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and
Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became a boil breaking
forth with boils on man and on animal.
Exo
9:11 The magicians couldn't stand before Moses because of the boils;
for the boils were on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians.
Exo
9:12 Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn't listen to
them, as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.
Exo
9:13 Yahweh said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and
stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, 'This is what Yahweh, the God of
the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exo
9:14 For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart,
against your officials, and against your people; that you may know
that there is none like me in all the earth.
Exo
9:15 For now I would have put forth my hand, and struck you and your
people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the
earth;
Exo
9:16 but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my
power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth;
Exo
9:17 as you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won't
let them go.
Exo
9:18 Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very
grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was
founded even until now.
Exo
9:19 Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that
you have in the field be brought into shelter. Every man and animal
that is found in the field, and isn't brought home, the hail shall
come down on them, and they shall die." ' "
Exo
9:20 Those who feared the word of Yahweh among the servants of
Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
Exo
9:21 Whoever didn't regard the word of Yahweh left his servants and
his livestock in the field.
Exo
9:22 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch forth your hand toward the
sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on
animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of
Egypt."
Exo
9:23 Moses stretched forth his rod toward the heavens, and Yahweh
sent thunder, hail, and lightning flashed down to the earth. Yahweh
rained hail on the land of Egypt.
Exo
9:24 So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the
hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a
nation.
Exo
9:25 The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was
in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of
the field, and broke every tree of the field.
Exo
9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were,
there was no hail.
Exo
9:27 Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them,
"I have sinned this time. Yahweh is righteous, and I and my
people are wicked.
Exo
9:28 Pray to Yahweh; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings
and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."
Exo
9:29 Moses said to him, "As soon as I have gone out of the
city, I will spread abroad my hands to Yahweh. The thunders shall
cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you may know that
the earth is Yahweh's.
Exo
9:30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you don't yet
fear Yahweh God."
Exo
9:31 The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the
ear, and the flax was in bloom.
Exo
9:32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not
grown up.
Exo
9:33 Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his
hands to Yahweh; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was
not poured on the earth.
Exo
9:34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders
were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his
servants.
Exo
9:35 The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn't let the
children of Israel go, just as Yahweh had spoken through Moses.

Exodus
10
Exo
10:1 Yahweh said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, for I have
hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show
these my signs in the midst of them,
Exo
10:2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your
son's son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I
have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh."
Exo
10:3 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, "This
is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: 'How long will you
refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may
serve me.
Exo
10:4 Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I
will bring locusts into your country,
Exo
10:5 and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one
won't be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that
which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat
every tree which grows for you out of the field.
Exo
10:6 Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your
servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither your
fathers nor your fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they
were on the earth to this day.' " He turned, and went out from
Pharaoh.
Exo
10:7 Pharaoh's servants said to him, "How long will this man be
a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh, their God.
Don't you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?"
Exo
10:8 Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to
them, "Go, serve Yahweh your God; but who are those who will
go?"
Exo
10:9 Moses said, "We will go with our young and with our old;
with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our
herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to Yahweh."
Exo
10:10 He said to them, "Yahweh be with you if I will let you go
with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.
Exo
10:11 Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve Yahweh; for that is
what you desire!" They were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Exo
10:12 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the
land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of
Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has
left."
Exo
10:13 Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and
Yahweh brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all the
night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Exo
10:14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in
all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there
were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
Exo
10:15 For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the
land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the
fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing
green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of
Egypt.
Exo
10:16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said,
"I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.
Exo
10:17 Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Yahweh
your God, that he may also take away from me this death."
Exo
10:18 He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh.
Exo
10:19 Yahweh turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the
locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one
locust in all the borders of Egypt.
Exo
10:20 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he didn't let the
children of Israel go.
Exo
10:21 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the
sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness
which may be felt."
Exo
10:22 Moses stretched forth his hand toward the sky, and there was a
thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
Exo
10:23 They didn't see one another, neither did anyone rise from his
place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in
their dwellings.
Exo
10:24 Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, "Go, serve Yahweh.
Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones
also go with you."
Exo
10:25 Moses said, "You must also give into our hand sacrifices
and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God.
Exo
10:26 Our livestock also shall go with us. There shall not a hoof be
left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh our God; and we
don't know with what we must serve Yahweh, until we come there."
Exo
10:27 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he wouldn't let them
go.
Exo
10:28 Pharaoh said to him, "Get away from me! Be careful to see
my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!"
Exo
10:29 Moses said, "You have spoken well. I will see your face
again no more."

Mark 2
Mar 2:1 When he entered
again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the
house.
Mar 2:2 Immediately
many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even
around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
Mar 2:3 Four people
came, carrying a paralytic to him.
Mar 2:4 When they could
not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he
was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the
paralytic was lying on.
Mar 2:5 Jesus, seeing
their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven
you."
Mar 2:6 But there were
some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Mar 2:7 "Why does
this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God
alone?"
Mar 2:8 Immediately
Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within
themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in
your hearts?
Mar 2:9 Which is
easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say,
'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'
Mar 2:10 But that you
may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"
-he said to the paralytic-
Mar 2:11 "I tell
you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."
Mar 2:12 He arose, and
immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so
that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never
saw anything like this!"
Mar 2:13 He went out
again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught
them.
Mar 2:14 As he passed
by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and
he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.
Mar 2:15 It happened,
that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax
collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for
there were many, and they followed him.
Mar 2:16 The scribes
and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners
and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he
eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"
Mar 2:17 When Jesus
heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need
for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Mar 2:18 John's
disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked
him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees
fast, but your disciples don't fast?"
Mar 2:19 Jesus said to
them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them?
As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can't fast.
Mar 2:20 But the days
will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then
will they fast in that day.
Mar 2:21 No one sews a
piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks
and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
Mar 2:22 No one puts
new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the
skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but
they put new wine into fresh wineskins."
Mar 2:23 It happened
that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and
his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
Mar 2:24 The Pharisees
said to him, "Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on
the Sabbath day?"
Mar 2:25 He said to
them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and
was hungry-he, and those who were with him?
Mar 2:26 How he entered
into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show
bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave
also to those who were with him?"
Mar 2:27 He said to
them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
Mar 2:28 Therefore the
Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."
