Numbers
25, 26
Num
25:1 Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to play the
prostitute with the daughters of Moab:
Num
25:2 for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and
the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
Num
25:3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of Yahweh was
kindled against Israel.
Num
25:4 Yahweh said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and
hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of
Yahweh may turn away from Israel.
Num
25:5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, Everyone kill his men who
have joined themselves to Baal Peor.
Num
25:6 Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his
brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of
all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were
weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Num
25:7 When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a
spear in his hand;
Num
25:8 and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and
thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through
her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
Num
25:9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
Num
25:10 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
25:11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has
turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was
jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I didn't consume the
children of Israel in my jealousy.
Num
25:12 Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace:
Num
25:13 and it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the
covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his
God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
Num
25:14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was
slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince
of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.

25:15 The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the
daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in
Midian.
Num
25:16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
25:17 Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
Num
25:18 for they harassed you with their wiles, with which they have
deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the
daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the
day of the plague in the matter of Peor.
Num
26:1 It happened after the plague, that Yahweh spoke to Moses and to
Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

26:2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel,
from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' houses, all who
are able to go forth to war in Israel.
Num
26:3 Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of

Luke 10
Luk 10:1
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and
sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he
was about to come.
Luk 10:2
Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the
laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he
may send out laborers into his harvest.
Luk 10:3
Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
Luk 10:4
Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
Luk 10:5
Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'
Luk 10:6
If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not,
it will return to you.
Luk 10:7
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give,
for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don't go from house to house.
Luk 10:8
Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things
that are set before you.
Luk 10:9
Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has
come near to you.'
Luk 10:10
But into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go out
into its streets and say,
Luk 10:11
'Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against
you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to
you.'
Luk 10:12
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for
that city.
Luk 10:13
"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty
works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they
would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Luk 10:14
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than
for you.
Luk 10:15
You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to
Hades.
Luk 10:16
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects
me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
Luk 10:17
The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons
are subject to us in your name!"
Luk 10:18
He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from
heaven.
Luk 10:19
Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
Luk 10:20
Nevertheless, don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to
you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
Luk 10:21
In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I
thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden
these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to
little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your
sight."
Luk 10:22
Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been
delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the
Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the
Son desires to reveal him."
Luk 10:23
Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the
eyes which see the things that you see,
Luk 10:24
for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things
which you see, and didn't see them, and to hear the things which you
hear, and didn't hear them."
Luk 10:25
Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
Luk 10:26
He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read
it?"
Luk 10:27
He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your
mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
Luk 10:28
He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you
will live."
Luk 10:29
But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my
neighbor?"
Luk 10:30
Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat
him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
Luk 10:31
By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him,
he passed by on the other side.
Luk 10:32
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw
him, passed by on the other side.
Luk 10:33
But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he
saw him, he was moved with compassion,
Luk 10:34
came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set
him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of
him.
Luk 10:35
On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave
them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you
spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.'
Luk 10:36
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him
who fell among the robbers?"
Luk 10:37
He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to
him, "Go and do likewise."
Luk 10:38
It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain
village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her
house.
Luk 10:39
She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard
his word.
Luk 10:40
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him,
and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister left me to serve
alone? Ask her therefore to help me."
Luk 10:41
Jesus answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and
troubled about many things,
Luk 10:42
but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will
not be taken away from her."
