Numbers
5, 6
Num
5:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:2 "Command the children of Israel that they put out of the
camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is
unclean by the dead.
Num
5:3 Both you shall put male and female outside of the camp; that
they not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell."
Num
5:4 The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the
camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Num
5:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:6 "Speak to the children of Israel: When a man or woman
commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh,
and that soul is guilty;
Num
5:7 then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall
make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part
of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
Num
5:8 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made
for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh
shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, by which
atonement shall be made for him.
Num
5:9 Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
Num
5:10 Every man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives
the priest, it shall be his."
Num
5:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:12 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: If any
man's wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him,
Num
5:13 and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the
eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there
is no witness against her, and she isn't taken in the act;
Num
5:14 and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of
his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes on
him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she isn't defiled:
Num
5:15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall
bring her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley
meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it
is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing
iniquity to memory.
Num
5:16 The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh;
Num
5:17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and
of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall
take, and put it into the water.
Num
5:18 The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair
of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial
in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest
shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
Num
5:19 The priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman,
'If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside to
uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of
bitterness that brings a curse.
Num
5:20 But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if
you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your
husband:'
Num
5:21 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of
cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, 'Yahweh make you a
curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to
fall away, and your body to swell;
Num
5:22 and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels,
and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.' The woman shall
say, 'Amen, Amen.'
Num
5:23 "The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he
shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.
Num
5:24 He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that
causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter
into her and become bitter.
Num
5:25 The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the
woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and
bring it to the altar.
Num
5:26 The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its
memorial, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the
woman drink the water.
Num
5:27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if
she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband,
that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become
bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away: and
the woman will be a curse among her people.
Num
5:28 If the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be
free, and shall conceive seed.
Num
5:29 "This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her
husband, goes astray, and is defiled;
Num
5:30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is
jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and
the priest shall execute on her all this law.
Num
5:31 The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear
her iniquity."
Num
6:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
6:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: When
either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite,
to separate himself to Yahweh,
Num
6:3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall
drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, neither
shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
Num
6:4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made
of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.
Num
6:5 "All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor
come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates
himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the
hair of his head grow long.
Num
6:6 "All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall
not go near a dead body.
Num
6:7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his
mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because
his separation to God is on his head.
Num
6:8 All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh.
Num
6:9 "If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles
the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day
of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.
Num
6:10 On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young
pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Num
6:11 The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other
for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned
by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy that same day.
Num
6:12 He shall separate to Yahweh the days of his separation, and
shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the
former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
Num
6:13 "This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his
separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent
of Meeting,
Num
6:14 and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb a year
old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old
without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for
peace offerings,
Num
6:15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed
with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal
offering, and their drink offerings.
Num
6:16 The priest shall present them before Yahweh, and shall offer
his sin offering, and his burnt offering.
Num
6:17 He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to
Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer
also its meal offering, and its drink offering.
Num
6:18 The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door
of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his
separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of
peace offerings.
Num
6:19 The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one
unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and
shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the
head of his separation;
Num
6:20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before
Yahweh. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is
waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may
drink wine.
Num
6:21 "This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his
offering to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able
to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the
law of his separation."
Num
6:22 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
6:23 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you
shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them,
Num
6:24 'Yahweh bless you, and keep you.
Num
6:25 Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.
Num
6:26 Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.'
Num
6:27 "So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; and
I will bless them."

7, 8
Num
7:1 It happened on the day that Moses had finished setting up the
tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its
furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and
sanctified them;
Num
7:2 that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses,
offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who
were over those who were numbered:
Num
7:3 and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered
wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and
for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle.
Num
7:4 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
7:5 "Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the
service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the
Levites, to every man according to his service."
Num
7:6 Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the
Levites.
Num
7:7 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon,
according to their service:

7:8 and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari,
according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of
Aaron the priest.

7:9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of
the sanctuary belonged to them; they carried it on their shoulders.

7:10 The princes gave offerings for the dedication of the altar in
the day that it was anointed, even the princes gave their offerings
before the altar.

Num
7:89 When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh,
he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was
on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he
spoke to him.
Num
8:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
8:2 "Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps,
the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.' "
Num
8:3 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the
lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Num
8:4 This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold.
From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the
pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
Num
8:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
8:6 "Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them.
Num
8:7 You shall do this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water
of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor,
and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
Num
8:8 Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine
flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin
offering.
Num
8:9 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You
shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Num
8:10 You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of
Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
Num
8:11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave
offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be
theirs to do the service of Yahweh.
Num
8:12 The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,
and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a
burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.
Num
8:13 You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons,
and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.
Num
8:14 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of
Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
Num
8:15 "After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of
the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a
wave offering.
Num
8:16 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of
Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all
the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
Num
8:17 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine,
both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
Num
8:18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the
children of Israel.
Num
8:19 I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons
from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children
of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the
children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of
Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary."
Num
8:20 Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of
Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded
Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
Num
8:21 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their
clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before Yahweh;
and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
Num
8:22 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent
of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded
Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
Num
8:23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
8:24 "This is that which belongs to the Levites: from
twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the
service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;
Num
8:25 and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the
work, and shall serve no more,
Num
8:26 but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting,
to perform the duty, and shall do no service. You shall do thus to
the Levites concerning their duties."
Numbers
9, 10
Num
9:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first
month of the second year after they had come out of the land of
Egypt, saying,
Num
9:2 "Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in
its appointed season.
Num
9:3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep
it in its appointed season--according to all its statutes, and
according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it."
Num
9:4 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the
Passover.
Num
9:5 They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day
of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to
all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
Num
9:6 There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead
body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day,
and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
Num
9:7 Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead
body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the
offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children of
Israel?"
Num
9:8 Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh
will command concerning you."
Num
9:9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
9:10 "Say to the children of Israel, 'If any man of you or of
your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a
journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh.
Num
9:11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they
shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter
herbs.
Num
9:12 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone
of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep
it.
Num
9:13 But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to
keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Because he didn't offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed
season, that man shall bear his sin.
Num
9:14 If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the
Passover to Yahweh; according to the statute of the Passover, and
according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one
statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the
land.' "
Num
9:15 On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered
the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was
over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
Num
9:16 So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance
of fire by night.
Num
9:17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after
that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the
cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
Num
9:18 At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled,
and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud
remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
Num
9:19 When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Israel kept Yahweh's command, and didn't travel.
Num
9:20 Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then
according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and
according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled.
Num
9:21 Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when
the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and
by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.
Num
9:22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud
stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel
remained encamped, and didn't travel; but when it was taken up, they
traveled.
Num
9:23 At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the
commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept Yahweh's command, at
the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
Num
10:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
10:2 "Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of
beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation,
and for the journeying of the camps.
Num
10:3 When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather
themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Num
10:4 If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the
thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.
Num
10:5 When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side
shall go forward.
Num
10:6 When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on
the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their
journeys.
Num
10:7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall
blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.
Num
10:8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This
shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.
Num
10:9 When you go to war in your land against the adversary who
oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then
you will be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you will be saved
from your enemies.
Num
10:10 "Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set
feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the
trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your
peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your
God. I am Yahweh your God."
Num
10:11 It happened in the second year, in the second month, on the
twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the
tabernacle of the testimony.
Num
10:12 The children of Israel went forward according to their
journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the
wilderness of Paran.
Num
10:13 They first went forward according to the commandment of Yahweh
by Moses.
Num
10:14 First, the standard of the camp of the children of Judah went
forward according to their armies. Nahshon the son of Amminadab was
over his army.
Num
10:15 Nethanel the son of Zuar was over the army of the tribe of the
children of Issachar.
Num
10:16 Eliab the son of Helon was over the army of the tribe of the
children of Zebulun.
Num
10:17 The tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the
sons of Merari, who bore the tabernacle, went forward.
Num
10:18 The standard of the camp of Reuben went forward according to
their armies. Elizur the son of Shedeur was over his army.
Num
10:19 Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai was over the army of the
tribe of the children of Simeon.
Num
10:20 Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the army of the tribe of
the children of Gad.
Num
10:21 The Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary. The others
set up the tabernacle before they arrived.
Num
10:22 The standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set
forward according to their armies. Elishama the son of Ammihud was
over his army.
Num
10:23 Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur was over the army of the tribe of
the children of Manasseh.
Num
10:24 Abidan the son of Gideoni was over the army of the tribe of
the children of Benjamin.
Num
10:25 The standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the
rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their armies.
Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai was over his army.
Num
10:26 Pagiel the son of Ochran was over the army of the tribe of the
children of Asher.
Num
10:27 Ahira the son of Enan was over the army of the tribe of the
children of Naphtali.
Num
10:28 Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according to
their armies; and they went forward.
Num
10:29 Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses'
father-in-law, "We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh
said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you
well; for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel."
Num
10:30 He said to him, "I will not go; but I will depart to my
own land, and to my relatives."
Num
10:31 He said, "Don't leave us, please; because you know how we
are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.
Num
10:32 It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that
whatever good Yahweh does to us, we will do the same to you."
Num
10:33 They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey.
The ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them three days'
journey, to seek out a resting place for them.
Num
10:34 The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set
forward from the camp.
Num
10:35 It happened, when the ark went forward, that Moses said, "Rise
up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate you
flee before you!"
Num
10:36 When it rested, he said, "Return, Yahweh, to the ten
thousands of the thousands of Israel."
Apr. 6, 7
Luke 5
Luk 5:1
Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on him and heard the
word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
Luk 5:2
He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out
of them, and were washing their nets.
Luk 5:3
He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to
put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes
from the boat.
Luk 5:4
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into
the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."
Luk 5:5
Simon answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took
nothing; but at your word I will let down the net."
Luk 5:6
When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and
their net was breaking.
Luk 5:7
They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should
come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they
began to sink.
Luk 5:8
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,
"Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."
Luk 5:9
For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish
which they had caught;
Luk 5:10
and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners
with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid. From now on
you will be catching people alive."
Luk 5:11
When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and
followed him.
Luk 5:12
It happened, while he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a
man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and
begged him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me
clean."
Luk 5:13
He stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to.
Be made clean." Immediately the leprosy left him.
Luk 5:14
He commanded him to tell no one, "But go your way, and show
yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to
what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
Luk 5:15
But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes
came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
Luk 5:16
But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.
Luk 5:17
It happened on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there
were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out
of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the
Lord was with him to heal them.
Luk 5:18
Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to
bring him in to lay before Jesus.
Luk 5:19
Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went
up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his cot
into the midst before Jesus.
Luk 5:20
Seeing their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven
you."
Luk 5:21
The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is
this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"
Luk 5:22
But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, "Why are
you reasoning so in your hearts?
Luk 5:23
Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you;' or to say,
'Arise and walk?'
Luk 5:24
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to
forgive sins" (he said to the paralyzed man), "I tell you,
arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house."
Luk 5:25
Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was
laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
Luk 5:26
Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled
with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today."
Luk 5:27
After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi
sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "Follow me!"
Luk 5:28
He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
Luk 5:29
Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd
of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
Luk 5:30
Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples,
saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and
sinners?"
Luk 5:31
Jesus answered them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a
physician, but those who are sick do.
Luk 5:32
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Luk 5:33
They said to him, "Why do John's disciples often fast and pray,
likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and
drink?"
Luk 5:34
He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom
fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
Luk 5:35
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from
them. Then they will fast in those days."
Luk 5:36
He also told a parable to them. "No one puts a piece from a new
garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the
piece from the new will not match the old.
Luk 5:37
No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will
burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be
destroyed.
Luk 5:38
But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are
preserved.
Luk 5:39
No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says,
'The old is better.' "
Luke 6
Luk 6:1
Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he was
going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of
grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
Luk 6:2
But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that
which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?"
Luk 6:3
Jesus, answering them, said, "Haven't you read what David did
when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
Luk 6:4
how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the show
bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful
to eat except for the priests alone?"
Luk 6:5
He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."
Luk 6:6
It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the
synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was
withered.
Luk 6:7
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would
heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
Luk 6:8
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the
withered hand, "Rise up, and stand in the middle." He arose
and stood.
Luk 6:9
Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you something: Is it lawful
on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to
kill?"
Luk 6:10
He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out
your hand." He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the
other.
Luk 6:11
But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about
what they might do to Jesus.
Luk 6:12
It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray,
and he continued all night in prayer to God.
Luk 6:13
When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose
twelve, whom he also named apostles:
Luk 6:14
Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John;
Philip; Bartholomew;
Luk 6:15
Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called
the Zealot;
Luk 6:16
Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a
traitor.
Luk 6:17
He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of
his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and
Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him
and to be healed of their diseases;
Luk 6:18
as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were
being healed.
Luk 6:19
All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out from him
and healed them all.
Luk 6:20
He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, "Blessed are
you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.
Luk 6:21
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are
you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Luk 6:22
Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude
and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's
sake.
Luk 6:23
Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is
great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the
prophets.
Luk 6:24
"But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your
consolation.
Luk 6:25
Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you
who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Luk 6:26
Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing
to the false prophets.
Luk 6:27
"But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those
who hate you,
Luk 6:28
bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
Luk 6:29
To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from
him who takes away your cloak, don't withhold your coat also.
Luk 6:30
Give to everyone who asks you, and don't ask him who takes away your
goods to give them back again.
Luk 6:31
"As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.
Luk 6:32
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even
sinners love those who love them.
Luk 6:33
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to
you? For even sinners do the same.
Luk 6:34
If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is
that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
Luk 6:35
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back;
and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most
High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
Luk 6:36
Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
Luk 6:37
Don't judge, and you won't be judged. Don't condemn, and you won't be
condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.
Luk 6:38
"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down,
shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the
same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."
Luk 6:39
He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the blind?
Won't they both fall into a pit?
Luk 6:40
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully
trained will be like his teacher.
Luk 6:41
Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye, but
don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?
Luk 6:42
Or how can you tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck
of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself don't see the beam
that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from
your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of
chaff that is in your brother's eye.
Luk 6:43
For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a
rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.
Luk 6:44
For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don't gather figs
from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
Luk 6:45
The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that
which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart
brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart,
his mouth speaks.
Luk 6:46
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things which
I say?
Luk 6:47
Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will
show you who he is like.
Luk 6:48
He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a
foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against
that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the
rock.
Luk 6:49
But he who hears, and doesn't do, is like a man who built a house on
the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and
immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
