The Passover Celebrated
9 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, (A)in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 “Let the people of Israel keep the Passover at its appointed time. 3 (B)On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall keep it at its appointed time; according to all its statutes and all its rules you shall keep it.” 4 So Moses told the people of Israel that they should keep the Passover. 5 And they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so the people of Israel did. 6 And there were certain men who were (C)unclean through touching a dead body, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and (D)they came before Moses and Aaron on that day. 7 And those men said to him, “We are unclean through touching a dead body. Why are we kept from bringing the Lord's (E)offering at its appointed time among the people of Israel?” 8 And Moses said to them, “Wait, that (F)I may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.”
9 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If any one of you or of your descendants is unclean through touching a dead body, or is on a long journey, he shall still keep the Passover to the Lord. 11 (G)In the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight they shall keep it. (H)They shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 (I)They shall leave none of it until the morning, (J)nor break any of its bones; (K)according to all the statute for the Passover they shall keep it. 13 But if anyone who is clean and is not on a journey fails to keep the Passover, (L)that person shall be cut off from his people because he did not bring the Lord's (M)offering at its appointed time; that man shall bear his sin. 14 And if a stranger sojourns among you and would keep the Passover to the Lord, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its rule, so shall he do. (N)You shall have one statute, both for the sojourner and for the native.”

The Passover
9 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai in the first month(A) of the second year after they came out of Egypt.(B) He said, 2 “Have the Israelites celebrate the Passover(C) at the appointed time.(D) 3 Celebrate it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month,(E) in accordance with all its rules and regulations.(F)”
4 So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover,(G) 5 and they did so in the Desert of Sinai(H) at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.(I) The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.(J)
6 But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean(K) on account of a dead body.(L) So they came to Moses and Aaron(M) that same day 7 and said to Moses, “We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the Lord’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?(N)”
8 Moses answered them, “Wait until I find out what the Lord commands concerning you.”(O)
9 Then the Lord said to Moses, 10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘When any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body(P) or are away on a journey, they are still to celebrate(Q) the Lord’s Passover, 11 but they are to do it on the fourteenth day of the second month(R) at twilight. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.(S) 12 They must not leave any of it till morning(T) or break any of its bones.(U) When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations.(V) 13 But if anyone who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, they must be cut off from their people(W) for not presenting the Lord’s offering at the appointed time. They will bear the consequences of their sin.
14 “‘A foreigner(X) residing among you is also to celebrate the Lord’s Passover in accordance with its rules and regulations. You must have the same regulations for both the foreigner and the native-born.’”

The Lord's Concern for His Holy Name
16 The word of the Lord came to me: 17 (A)“Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, (B)they defiled it by their ways and their deeds. Their ways before me were (C)like the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual impurity. 18 So (D)I poured out my wrath upon them (E)for the blood that they had shed in the land, for the idols (F)with which they had defiled it. 19 (G)I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. (H)In accordance with their ways and their deeds I judged them. 20 But when they came to the nations, wherever they came, (I)they profaned my holy name, in that people said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, and yet they had to go out of his land.’ 21 But I had concern (J)for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they came.
I Will Put My Spirit Within You
22 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: (K)It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, (L)which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. 23 (M)And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. (N)And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. 24 (O)I will take you (P)from the nations and gather you from all the countries and (Q)bring you into your own land. 25 (R)I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from (S)all your uncleannesses, and (T)from all your idols (U)I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you (V)a new heart, and (W)a new spirit I will put within you. (X)And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 (Y)And I will put my Spirit within you, (Z)and cause you to walk in my statutes and (AA)be careful to obey my rules.[a] 28 (AB)You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and (AC)you shall be my people, and I will be your God. 29 And (AD)I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. And (AE)I will summon the grain and make it abundant and (AF)lay no famine upon you. 30 (AG)I will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant, (AH)that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations. 31 Then (AI)you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations. 32 (AJ)It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord God; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
33 “Thus says the Lord God: On the day that (AK)I cleanse you from all your iniquities, (AL)I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be rebuilt. 34 And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, instead of being the desolation that it was in the sight of all who passed by. 35 And they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like (AM)the garden of Eden, and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ 36 Then (AN)the nations that are left all around you shall know that I am the Lord; I have rebuilt the ruined places and (AO)replanted that which was desolate. (AP)I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it.
37 “Thus says the Lord God: This also (AQ)I will let the house of Israel ask me to do for them: (AR)to increase their people like (AS)a flock. 38 Like the flock for sacrifices,[b] (AT)like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so (AU)shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of people. (AV)Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

Israel’s Restoration Assured
16 Again the word of the Lord came to me: 17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by their conduct and their actions. Their conduct was like a woman’s monthly uncleanness(A) in my sight.(B) 18 So I poured out(C) my wrath on them because they had shed blood in the land and because they had defiled it with their idols. 19 I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered(D) through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions.(E) 20 And wherever they went among the nations they profaned(F) my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’(G) 21 I had concern for my holy name, which the people of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.(H)
22 “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name,(I) which you have profaned(J) among the nations where you have gone.(K) 23 I will show the holiness of my great name,(L) which has been profaned(M) among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,(N) declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy(O) through you before their eyes.(P)
24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.(Q) 25 I will sprinkle(R) clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse(S) you from all your impurities(T) and from all your idols.(U) 26 I will give you a new heart(V) and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone(W) and give you a heart of flesh.(X) 27 And I will put my Spirit(Y) in you and move you to follow my decrees(Z) and be careful to keep my laws.(AA) 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people,(AB) and I will be your God.(AC) 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine(AD) upon you. 30 I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine.(AE) 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices.(AF) 32 I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord. Be ashamed(AG) and disgraced for your conduct, people of Israel!(AH)
33 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day I cleanse(AI) you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins(AJ) will be rebuilt.(AK) 34 The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it. 35 They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden;(AL) the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.(AM)” 36 Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’(AN)
37 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Once again I will yield to Israel’s plea(AO) and do this for them: I will make their people as numerous as sheep,(AP) 38 as numerous as the flocks for offerings(AQ) at Jerusalem during her appointed festivals. So will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(AR)”

Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord
A Song of (A)Ascents. Of David.
124 (B)If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—
(C)let Israel now say—
2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
when people rose up against us,
3 then they would have (D)swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
4 then (E)the flood would have (F)swept us away,
the torrent would have gone (G)over us;
5 then over us would have gone
the raging waters.
6 Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!
7 We have escaped like a bird
from (H)the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!
8 (I)Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
The Lord Surrounds His People
A Song of (J)Ascents.
125 Those who (K)trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which (L)cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so (M)the Lord surrounds his people,
from this time forth and forevermore.
3 For (N)the scepter of wickedness shall not (O)rest
on (P)the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous (Q)stretch out
their hands to do wrong.
4 (R)Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
and to those who are (S)upright in their hearts!
5 But those who (T)turn aside to their (U)crooked ways
the Lord will lead away with (V)evildoers!
(W)Peace be upon Israel!

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time
31 (A)And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, (B)we are going up to Jerusalem, and (C)everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. 32 For he will be (D)delivered over to the Gentiles and will be (E)mocked and shamefully treated and (F)spit upon. 33 And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on (G)the third day he will rise.” 34 (H)But they understood none of these things. (I)This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.
Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar
35 (J)As he drew near to Jericho, (K)a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. 37 They told him, (L)“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” 38 And he cried out, “Jesus, (M)Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 And those who were in front (N)rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, 41 (O)“What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” 42 And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; (P)your faith has (Q)made you well.” 43 And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, (R)glorifying God. And (S)all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(A)
31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem,(B) and everything that is written by the prophets(C) about the Son of Man(D) will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles.(E) They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him(F) and kill him.(G) On the third day(H) he will rise again.”(I)
34 The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.(J)
A Blind Beggar Receives His Sight(K)
35 As Jesus approached Jericho,(L) a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”(M)
38 He called out, “Jesus, Son of David,(N) have mercy(O) on me!”
39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”(P)
40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord, I want to see,” he replied.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”(Q) 43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.(R)

21 (A)submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Wives and Husbands
22 (B)Wives, (C)submit to your own husbands, (D)as to the Lord. 23 For (E)the husband is the head of the wife even as (F)Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is (G)himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit (H)in everything to their husbands.
25 (I)Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and (J)gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by (K)the washing of water (L)with the word, 27 so (M)that he might present the church to himself in splendor, (N)without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[a] 28 In the same way (O)husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because (P)we are members of his body. 31 (Q)“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and (R)the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, (S)let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she (T)respects her husband.

Instructions for Christian Households(A)
21 Submit to one another(B) out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands(C) as you do to the Lord.(D) 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church,(E) his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands(F) in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives,(G) just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her(H) 26 to make her holy,(I) cleansing[a] her by the washing(J) with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself(K) as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.(L) 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives(M) as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body.(N) 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[b](O) 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife(P) as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
