Exo
28:1 "Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to

on his heart before Yahweh continually.
Exo
28:31 "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
Exo
28:32 It shall have a hole for the head in its midst: it shall have
a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a
coat of mail, that it not be torn.
Exo
28:33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple,
and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between and around
them:
Exo
28:34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a
pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.

sash; on the front of the sash it shall be.

him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them,
that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

nakedness; from the waist even to the thighs they shall reach:
Exo
28:43 They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to
the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister
in the holy place; that they don't bear iniquity, and die: it shall
be a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.
Exo
29:1 "This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them
holy, to minister to me in the priest's office: take one young bull
and two rams without blemish,
Exo
29:2 unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and
unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine
wheat flour.
Exo
29:3 You shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the
basket, with the bull and the two rams.
Exo
29:4 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of
Meeting, and shall wash them with water.

29:5 You shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the coat, the
robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and dress him with
the skillfully woven band of the ephod;

and anoint him.

29:11 You shall kill the bull before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent
of Meeting.
Exo
29:12 You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the
horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the
blood at the base of the altar.
Exo
29:13 You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover
of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn
them on the altar.
Exo
29:14 But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you
shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.
Exo
29:15 "You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons
shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
Exo
29:16 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and
sprinkle it around on the altar.
Exo
29:17 You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards,
and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.
Exo
29:18 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt
offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire
to Yahweh.
Exo
29:19 "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons
shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
Exo
29:20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and
put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the
right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on
the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the
altar.
Exo
29:21 You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the
anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on
his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be
made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments
with him.
Exo
29:22 Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the
fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys,
the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of
consecration),
Exo
29:23 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer
out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.
Exo
29:24 You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his sons'
hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.
Exo
29:25 You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the
altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it
is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
Exo
29:26 "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of
consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it
shall be your portion.
Exo
29:27 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the
thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up,
of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of
that which is for his sons:
Exo
29:28 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion
forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering: and
it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the
sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to
Yahweh.
Exo
29:29 "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after
him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.
Exo
29:30 Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them
on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy
place.
Exo
29:31 "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its
flesh in a holy place.
Exo
29:32 Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the
bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Exo
29:33 They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to
consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it,
because they are holy.
Exo
29:34 If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread,
remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire:
it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
Exo
29:35 "You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to
all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.
Exo
29:36 Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for
atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement
for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
Exo
29:37 Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and
sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the
altar shall be holy.
Exo
29:38 "Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two
lambs a year old day by day continually.
Exo
29:39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other
lamb you shall offer at evening:
Exo
29:40 and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour
mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth
part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
Exo
29:41 The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it
according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its
drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to
Yahweh.
Exo
29:42 It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your
generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh, where I
will meet with you, to speak there to you.
Exo
29:43 There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place
shall be sanctified by my glory.
Exo
29:44 I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar: Aaron also
and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's
office.
Exo
29:45 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their
God.
Exo
29:46 They shall know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them
forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am
Yahweh their God.

Mark 10
Mar
10:1 He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and
beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he
usually did, he was again teaching them.
Mar
10:2 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, "Is it
lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
Mar
10:3 He answered, "What did Moses command you?"
Mar
10:4 They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be
written, and to divorce her."
Mar
10:5 But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart, he
wrote you this commandment.
Mar
10:6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and
female.
Mar
10:7 For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will
join to his wife,
Mar
10:8 and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer
two, but one flesh.
Mar
10:9 What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
Mar
10:10 In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same
matter.
Mar
10:11 He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife, and marries
another, commits adultery against her.
Mar
10:12 If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another,
she commits adultery."
Mar
10:13 They were bringing to him little children, that he should
touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
Mar
10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said
to them, "Allow the little children to come to me! Don't forbid
them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Mar
10:15 Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive the
Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
Mar
10:16 He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands
on them.
Mar
10:17 As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before
him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may
inherit eternal life?"
Mar
10:18 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is
good except one-God.
Mar
10:19 You know the commandments: 'Do not murder,' 'Do not commit
adultery,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Do not
defraud,' 'Honor your father and mother.' "
Mar
10:20 He said to him, "Teacher, I have observed all these
things from my youth."
Mar
10:21 Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, "One
thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and
you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the
cross."
Mar
10:22 But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful,
for he was one who had great possessions.
Mar
10:23 Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How
difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom
of God!"
Mar
10:24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered
again, "Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches
to enter into the Kingdom of God!
Mar
10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for
a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."
Mar
10:26 They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then
who can be saved?"
Mar
10:27 Jesus, looking at them, said, "With men it is impossible,
but not with God, for all things are possible with God."
Mar
10:28 Peter began to tell him, "Behold, we have left all, and
have followed you."
Mar
10:29 Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, there is no one
who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or
wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good
News,
Mar
10:30 but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time,
houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with
persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.
Mar
10:31 But many who are first will be last; and the last first."
Mar
10:32 They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was
going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed
were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the
things that were going to happen to him.
Mar
10:33 "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man
will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will
condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.
Mar
10:34 They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On
the third day he will rise again."
Mar
10:35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying,
"Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask."
Mar
10:36 He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Mar
10:37 They said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at
your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory."
Mar
10:38 But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are
asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
Mar
10:39 They said to him, "We are able." Jesus said to them,
"You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
Mar
10:40 but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to
give, but for whom it has been prepared."
Mar
10:41 When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards
James and John.
Mar
10:42 Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that
they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them,
and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Mar
10:43 But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become
great among you shall be your servant.
Mar
10:44 Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be
bondservant of all.
Mar
10:45 For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve,
and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Mar
10:46 They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his
disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a
blind beggar, was sitting by the road.
Mar
10:47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry
out, and say, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"
Mar
10:48 Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out
much more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"
Mar
10:49 Jesus stood still, and said, "Call him." They called
the blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up! Get up. He is calling
you!"
Mar
10:50 He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
Mar
10:51 Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?"
The blind man said to him, "Rhabboni, that I may see again."
Mar
10:52 Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has made you
well." Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in
the way.
Mark 11
Mar
11:1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at
the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
Mar
11:2 and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is
opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young
donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.
Mar
11:3 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord
needs him;' and immediately he will send him back here."
Mar
11:4 They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door
outside in the open street, and they untied him.
Mar
11:5 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you
doing, untying the young donkey?"
Mar
11:6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
Mar
11:7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their
garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
Mar
11:8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting
down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.
Mar
11:9 Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out,
"Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Mar
11:10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in
the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
Mar
11:11 Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked
around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany
with the twelve.
Mar
11:12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was
hungry.
Mar
11:13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if
perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found
nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
Mar
11:14 Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you
again!" and his disciples heard it.
Mar
11:15 They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and
began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple,
and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of
those who sold the doves.
Mar
11:16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the
temple.
Mar
11:17 He taught, saying to them, "Isn't it written, 'My house
will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you have
made it a den of robbers!"
Mar
11:18 The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how
they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the
multitude was astonished at his teaching.
Mar
11:19 When evening came, he went out of the city.
Mar
11:20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree
withered away from the roots.
Mar
11:21 Peter, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig
tree which you cursed has withered away."
Mar
11:22 Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
Mar
11:23 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain,
'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and doesn't doubt in his heart,
but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever
he says.
Mar
11:24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask
for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
Mar
11:25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything
against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also
forgive you your transgressions.
Mar
11:26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven
forgive your transgressions."
Mar
11:27 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the
temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to
him,
Mar
11:28 and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you
do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?"
Mar
11:29 Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer
me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mar
11:30 The baptism of John-was it from heaven, or from men? Answer
me."
Mar
11:31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say,
'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
Mar
11:32 If we should say, 'From men' "-they feared the people,
for all held John to really be a prophet.
Mar
11:33 They answered Jesus, "We don't know." Jesus said to
them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these
things."
