Exodus 35:30-36:7
English Standard Version
Construction of the Tabernacle
30 (A)Then Moses said to the people of Israel, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with (B)skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, 32 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, 33 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. 34 And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. 35 He has (C)filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer.
36 “Bezalel and Oholiab and (D)every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”
2 And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the Lord had put skill, everyone (E)whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work. 3 And they received from Moses all the (F)contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him (G)freewill offerings every morning, 4 so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing, 5 and said to Moses, (H)“The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do.” 6 So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let no man or woman do anything more for the (I)contribution for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing, 7 for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.

Bezalel and Oholiab(A)
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills(B)— 32 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 33 to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. 34 And he has given both him and Oholiab(C) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach(D) others. 35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work(E) as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers. 36 1 So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person(F) to whom the Lord has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary(G) are to do the work just as the Lord has commanded.”
2 Then Moses summoned Bezalel(H) and Oholiab(I) and every skilled person to whom the Lord had given ability and who was willing(J) to come and do the work. 3 They received from Moses all the offerings(K) the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning. 4 So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing 5 and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough(L) for doing the work the Lord commanded to be done.”
6 Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more, 7 because what they already had was more(M) than enough to do all the work.

1 Kings 6:23-38
English Standard Version
23 (A)In the inner sanctuary (B)he made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high. 24 Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the length of the other wing of the cherub; it was ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. 25 The other cherub also measured ten cubits; both cherubim had the same measure and the same form. 26 The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was that of the other cherub. 27 He put the cherubim in the innermost part of the house. (C)And the wings of the cherubim were spread out so that a wing of one touched the one wall, and a wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; their other wings touched each other in the middle of the house. 28 And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Around all the walls of the house he carved engraved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms. 30 The floor of the house he overlaid with gold in the inner and outer rooms.
31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors of olivewood; the lintel and the doorposts were five-sided.[a] 32 He covered the two doors of olivewood with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. He overlaid them with gold and spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
33 So also he made for the entrance to the nave doorposts of olivewood, in the form of a square, 34 and two doors of cypress wood. (D)The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding. 35 On them he carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied on the carved work. 36 (E)He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and one course of cedar beams.
37 (F)In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid, in the month of Ziv. 38 And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its parts, and according to all its specifications. He was seven years in building it.

23 For the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim(A) out of olive wood, each ten cubits high. 24 One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits—ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip. 25 The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape. 26 The height of each cherub was ten cubits. 27 He placed the cherubim(B) inside the innermost room of the temple, with their wings spread out. The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. 28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 On the walls(C) all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim,(D) palm trees and open flowers. 30 He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.
31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary. 32 And on the two olive-wood doors(E) he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold. 33 In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one fourth of the width of the hall. 34 He also made two doors out of juniper wood, each having two leaves that turned in sockets. 35 He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.
36 And he built the inner courtyard(F) of three courses(G) of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams.
37 The foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv. 38 In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details(H) according to its specifications.(I) He had spent seven years building it.

English Standard Version
Jeremiah 46:13-28
English Standard Version
13 The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of (A)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to strike the land of Egypt:
14 “Declare in Egypt, and proclaim in (B)Migdol;
proclaim in (C)Memphis and (D)Tahpanhes;
say, (E)‘Stand ready and be prepared,
for (F)the sword shall devour around you.’
15 Why are your mighty ones face down?
They do not stand[a]
because the Lord thrust them down.
16 He made many stumble, (G)and they fell,
and they said one to another,
‘Arise, and let us go back to our own people
and to the land of our birth,
(H)because of the sword of the oppressor.’
17 Call the name of (I)Pharaoh, king of Egypt,
‘Noisy one who lets the hour go by.’
18 (J)“As I live, declares the King,
(K)whose name is the Lord of hosts,
like (L)Tabor among the mountains
and like (M)Carmel by the sea, shall one come.
19 (N)Prepare yourselves baggage for exile,
O (O)inhabitants of Egypt!
For (P)Memphis shall become a waste,
a ruin, (Q)without inhabitant.
20 “A beautiful (R)heifer is Egypt,
but a biting fly (S)from the north has come upon her.
21 Even her hired soldiers in her midst
are like (T)fattened calves;
yes, they have turned and fled together;
they did not stand,
for the day of their calamity has come upon them,
(U)the time of their punishment.
22 “She makes (V)a sound like a serpent gliding away;
for her enemies march in force
and come against her with axes
(W)like those who fell trees.
23 (X)They shall cut down her forest,
declares the Lord,
though it is impenetrable,
because (Y)they are more numerous than locusts;
they are without number.
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame;
she shall be delivered into the hand of (Z)a people from the north.”
25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said: “Behold, I am bringing punishment upon (AA)Amon of (AB)Thebes, and Pharaoh and Egypt (AC)and her gods and her kings, upon Pharaoh and those who trust in him. 26 (AD)I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their life, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. (AE)Afterward Egypt shall be inhabited (AF)as in the days of old, declares the Lord.
27 (AG)“But fear not, O Jacob my servant,
nor be dismayed, O Israel,
for behold, I will save you from far away,
and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,
and none shall make him afraid.
28 (AH)Fear not, O Jacob my servant,
declares the Lord,
for I am with you.
I will make a full end of all the nations
to which I have driven you,
but of you I will not make a full end.
(AI)I will discipline you in just measure,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.”

13 This is the message the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon(A) to attack Egypt:(B)
14 “Announce this in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol;
proclaim it also in Memphis(C) and Tahpanhes:(D)
‘Take your positions and get ready,
for the sword devours(E) those around you.’
15 Why will your warriors be laid low?
They cannot stand, for the Lord will push them down.(F)
16 They will stumble(G) repeatedly;
they will fall(H) over each other.
They will say, ‘Get up, let us go back
to our own people(I) and our native lands,
away from the sword of the oppressor.’(J)
17 There they will exclaim,
‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is only a loud noise;(K)
he has missed his opportunity.(L)’
18 “As surely as I live,” declares the King,(M)
whose name is the Lord Almighty,
“one will come who is like Tabor(N) among the mountains,
like Carmel(O) by the sea.
19 Pack your belongings for exile,(P)
you who live in Egypt,
for Memphis(Q) will be laid waste(R)
and lie in ruins without inhabitant.
20 “Egypt is a beautiful heifer,
but a gadfly is coming
against her from the north.(S)
21 The mercenaries(T) in her ranks
are like fattened calves.(U)
They too will turn and flee(V) together,
they will not stand their ground,
for the day(W) of disaster is coming upon them,
the time(X) for them to be punished.
22 Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent
as the enemy advances in force;
they will come against her with axes,
like men who cut down trees.(Y)
23 They will chop down her forest,”
declares the Lord,
“dense though it be.
They are more numerous than locusts,(Z)
they cannot be counted.
24 Daughter Egypt will be put to shame,
given into the hands of the people of the north.(AA)”
25 The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “I am about to bring punishment on Amon god of Thebes,(AB) on Pharaoh,(AC) on Egypt and her gods(AD) and her kings, and on those who rely(AE) on Pharaoh. 26 I will give them into the hands(AF) of those who want to kill them—Nebuchadnezzar king(AG) of Babylon and his officers. Later, however, Egypt will be inhabited(AH) as in times past,” declares the Lord.
27 “Do not be afraid,(AI) Jacob(AJ) my servant;(AK)
do not be dismayed, Israel.
I will surely save you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile.(AL)
Jacob will again have peace and security,
and no one will make him afraid.
28 Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant,
for I am with you,”(AM) declares the Lord.
“Though I completely destroy(AN) all the nations
among which I scatter you,
I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you but only in due measure;
I will not let you go entirely unpunished.”

Psalm 69:10-23
English Standard Version
10 When I wept and humbled[a] my soul with fasting,
it became my reproach.
11 When I made (A)sackcloth my clothing,
I became (B)a byword to them.
12 I am the talk of those who (C)sit in the gate,
and the drunkards make (D)songs about me.
13 But as for me, my (E)prayer is to you, O Lord.
At (F)an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
14 Deliver me
from sinking in (G)the mire;
(H)let me be delivered from my enemies
and from (I)the deep waters.
15 Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swallow me up,
or (J)the pit close (K)its mouth over me.
16 Answer me, O Lord, for your (L)steadfast love is good;
according to your abundant (M)mercy, (N)turn to me.
17 (O)Hide not your face from your servant,
(P)for I am in distress; (Q)make haste to answer me.
18 Draw near to my soul, redeem me;
ransom me because of my enemies!
19 You know my (R)reproach,
and my shame and my dishonor;
my foes are all known to you.
20 (S)Reproaches have broken my heart,
so that I am in (T)despair.
I (U)looked for (V)pity, but there was none,
and for (W)comforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me (X)poison for food,
and for my thirst they gave me (Y)sour wine to drink.
22 (Z)Let their own (AA)table before them become a snare;
(AB)and when they are at peace, let it become a trap.[b]
23 (AC)Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,
(AD)and make their loins tremble continually.

Jesus Before the Council
53 (A)And (B)they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. 54 (C)And (D)Peter had followed him at a distance, (E)right into (F)the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with (G)the guards and (H)warming himself at the fire. 55 Now the chief priests and the whole council[a] were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none. 56 (I)For many bore false witness against him, but their testimony (J)did not agree. 57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, 58 (K)“We heard him say, (L)‘I will destroy this temple (M)that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, (N)not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even about this their testimony did not agree. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?”[b] 61 But (O)he remained silent and made no answer. (P)Again the high priest asked him, “Are you (Q)the Christ, the Son of (R)the Blessed?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and (S)you will see the Son of Man (T)seated at the right hand of Power, and (U)coming with the clouds of heaven.” 63 And the high priest (V)tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need? 64 You have heard (W)his blasphemy. What is your decision?” And they (X)all condemned him as (Y)deserving death. 65 (Z)And some began (AA)to spit on him and (AB)to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards received him (AC)with blows.

53 They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. 54 Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest.(C) There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.(D)
55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(E) were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another,(F) not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree.
60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.(G)
Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”(H)
62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”(I)
63 The high priest tore his clothes.(J) “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”
They all condemned him as worthy of death.(K) 65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.(L)

Paul's Plan to Visit Rome
22 This is the reason why (A)I have so often been hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and (B)since I have longed for many years to come to you, 24 I hope to see you in passing as I go (C)to Spain, and (D)to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 At present, however, (E)I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. 26 For (F)Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. 27 For they were pleased to do it, and indeed (G)they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings. 28 When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected,[a] I will leave (H)for Spain by way of you. 29 I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing[b] of Christ.
30 I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by (I)the love of the Spirit, (J)to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 (K)that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that (L)my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, 32 so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and (M)be refreshed in your company. 33 May (N)the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome
23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,(B) 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain.(C) I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist(D) me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem(E) in the service(F) of the Lord’s people(G) there. 26 For Macedonia(H) and Achaia(I) were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.(J) 27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.(K) 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain(L) and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you,(M) I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
30 I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit,(N) to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.(O) 31 Pray that I may be kept safe(P) from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution(Q) I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people(R) there, 32 so that I may come to you(S) with joy, by God’s will,(T) and in your company be refreshed.(U) 33 The God of peace(V) be with you all. Amen.
