Exodus
12
Exo
12:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Exo
12:2 "This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It
shall be the first month of the year to you.
Exo
12:3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth
day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb,
according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;
Exo
12:4 and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his
neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of
the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your
count for the lamb.
Exo
12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You
shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
Exo
12:6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same
month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall
kill it at evening.
Exo
12:7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two
doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat
it.
Exo
12:8 They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and
unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
Exo
12:9 Don't eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted
with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
Exo
12:10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that
which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
Exo
12:11 This is how you shall eat it: with your waist girded, your
shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it
in haste: it is Yahweh's Passover.
Exo
12:12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and
will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and
animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am
Yahweh.
Exo
12:13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you
are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall
no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
Exo
12:14 This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it
a feast to Yahweh: throughout your generations you shall keep it a
feast by an ordinance forever.
Exo
12:15 " 'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the
first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever
eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that
soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Exo
12:16 In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and
in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be
done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be
done by you.
Exo
12:17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this
same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt:
therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by
an ordinance forever.
Exo
12:18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at
evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day
of the month at evening.
Exo
12:19 Seven days shall there be no yeast found in your houses, for
whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from
the congregation of Israel, whether he be a foreigner, or one who is
born in the land.
Exo
12:20 You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you
shall eat unleavened bread.' "
Exo
12:21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to
them, "Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and
kill the Passover.
Exo
12:22 You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that
is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the
blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door
of his house until the morning.
Exo
12:23 For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when
he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, Yahweh
will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in
to your houses to strike you.
Exo
12:24 You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to
your sons forever.
Exo
12:25 It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh
will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this
service.
Exo
12:26 It will happen, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean
by this service?'
Exo
12:27 that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of Yahweh's Passover,
who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when
he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.' " The people
bowed their heads and worshiped.
Exo
12:28 The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had
commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
Exo
12:29 It happened at midnight, that Yahweh struck all the firstborn
in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his
throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and
all the firstborn of livestock.
Exo
12:30 Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and
all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was
not a house where there was not one dead.
Exo
12:31 He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, "Rise
up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of
Israel; and go, serve Yahweh, as you have said!
Exo
12:32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be
gone; and bless me also!"
Exo
12:33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of
the land in haste, for they said, "We are all dead men."
Exo
12:34 The people took their dough before it was leavened, their
kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
Exo
12:35 The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and
they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
clothing.
Exo
12:36 Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so
that they let them have what they asked. They despoiled the
Egyptians.
Exo
12:37 The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about
six hundred thousand on foot who were men, besides children.
Exo
12:38 A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds,
and even very much livestock.
Exo
12:39 They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought
forth out of Egypt; for it wasn't leavened, because they were thrust
out of Egypt, and couldn't wait, neither had they prepared for
themselves any food.
Exo
12:40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was
four hundred thirty years.
Exo
12:41 It happened at the end of four hundred thirty years, even the
same day it happened, that all the armies of Yahweh went out from the
land of Egypt.
Exo
12:42 It is a night to be much observed to Yahweh for bringing them
out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of Yahweh, to be much
observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
Exo
12:43 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of
the Passover. There shall no foreigner eat of it,
Exo
12:44 but every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have
circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
Exo
12:45 A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
Exo
12:46 In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth
anything of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you
break a bone of it.
Exo
12:47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
Exo
12:48 When a stranger shall live as a foreigner with you, and will
keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and
then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is
born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
Exo
12:49 One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the
stranger who lives as a foreigner among you."
Exo
12:50 All the children of Israel did so. As Yahweh commanded Moses
and Aaron, so they did.
Exo
12:51 It happened the same day, that Yahweh brought the children of
Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Mar.1, 2
Mark 3
Mar 3:1
He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who
had his hand withered.
Mar 3:2
They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that
they might accuse him.
Mar 3:3
He said to the man who had his hand withered, "Stand up."
Mar 3:4
He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or
to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent.
Mar 3:5
When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the
hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your
hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy
as the other.
Mar 3:6
The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians
against him, how they might destroy him.
Mar 3:7
Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples, and a great multitude
followed him from Galilee, from Judea,
Mar 3:8
from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from
around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things
he did, came to him.
Mar 3:9
He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him
because of the crowd, so that they wouldn't press on him.
Mar 3:10
For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on
him that they might touch him.
Mar 3:11
The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and
cried, "You are the Son of God!"
Mar 3:12
He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.
Mar 3:13
He went up into the mountain, and called to himself those whom he
wanted, and they went to him.
Mar 3:14
He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might
send them out to preach,
Mar 3:15
and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:
Mar 3:16
Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter;
Mar 3:17
James the son of Zebedee; John, the brother of James, and he surnamed
them Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder;
Mar 3:18
Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of
Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot;
Mar 3:19
and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. He came into a house.
Mar 3:20
The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as
eat bread.
Mar 3:21
When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said,
"He is insane."
Mar 3:22
The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has
Beelzebul," and, "By the prince of the demons he casts out
the demons."
Mar 3:23
He summoned them, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan
cast out Satan?
Mar 3:24
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
Mar 3:25
If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
Mar 3:26
If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can't
stand, but has an end.
Mar 3:27
But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder,
unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his
house.
Mar 3:28
Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man will be
forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme;
Mar 3:29
but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has
forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"
Mar 3:30
-because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."
Mar 3:31
His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to
him, calling him.
Mar 3:32
A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, "Behold,
your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are outside looking for
you."
Mar 3:33
He answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"
Mar 3:34
Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, "Behold, my
mother and my brothers!
Mar 3:35
For whoever does the will of God, the same is my brother, and my
sister, and mother."
