Deuteronomy 30

    ²And shall return to the Lord your God and obey His voice according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your [mind and] heart and with all your being,

    ³Then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion upon you and will gather you again from all the nations where He has scattered you.

    ⁴Even if any of your dispersed are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there the Lord your God will gather you and from there will He bring you.

    ⁵And the Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will do you good and multiply you above your fathers.

    ⁶And the Lord your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with all your being, that you may live.

    ⁷And the Lord your God will put all these curses upon your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecute you.

    ⁸And you shall return and obey the voice of the Lord and do all His commandments which I command you today.

    ⁹And the Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, of your cattle, of your land, for good; for the Lord will again delight in prospering you, as He took delight in your fathers,

    ¹⁰If you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with all your being.

    ¹¹For this commandment which I command you this day is not too difficult for you, nor is it far off.

    ¹²It is not [a secret laid up] in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it to us, that we may hear and do it?

    ¹³Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear and do it?

    ¹⁴But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your mind and in your heart, so that you can do it.

    ¹⁵See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil.

    ¹⁶[If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which] I command you today, to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land into which you go to possess.

    ¹⁷But if your [mind and] heart turn away and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them,

    ¹⁸I declare to you today that you shall surely perish, and you shall not live long in the land which you pass over the Jordan to enter and possess.

    ¹⁹I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live

    ²⁰And may love the Lord your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Deuteronomy 31

    ²And he said to them, I am 120 years old this day; I can no more go out and come in. And the Lord has said to me, You shall not go over this Jordan.

    ³The Lord your God will Himself go over before you, and He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. And Joshua shall go over before you, as the Lord has said.

    ⁴And the Lord will do to them as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when He destroyed them.

    ⁵And the Lord will give them over to you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.

    ⁶Be strong, courageous, and firm; fear not nor be in terror before them, for it is the Lord your God Who goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you.

    ⁷And Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong, courageous, and firm, for you shall go with this people into the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to possess it.

    ⁸It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march] with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit--depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm].

    ⁹And Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.

    ¹⁰And Moses commanded them, At the end of every seven years, at the set time of the year of release [of debtors from their debts], at the Feast of Booths,

    ¹¹When all Israel comes to appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses [for His sanctuary], you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

    ¹²Assemble the people--men, women, and children, and the stranger and the sojourner within your towns--that they may hear and learn [reverently] to fear the Lord your God and be watchful to do all the words of this law,

    ¹³And that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn [reverently] to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land which you go over the Jordan to possess.

    ¹⁴And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, your days are nearing when you must die. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, that I may give him his charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the Tent of Meeting.

    ¹⁵And the Lord appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent.

    ¹⁶And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and play the harlot after the strange gods of the land where they go to be among them; and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.

    ¹⁷Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them. And they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?

    ¹⁸And I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they have done in turning to other gods.

    ¹⁹And now write this song for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the Israelites.

    ²⁰For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves and become fat, then they will turn to other gods and serve them, and despise and scorn Me and break My covenant.

    ²¹And when many evils and troubles have befallen them, this [sacred] song will confront them as a witness, for it will never be forgotten from the mouths of their descendants. For I know their strong desire and the purposes which they are forming even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore to give them.

    ²²Moses wrote this song the same day and taught it to the Israelites.^(A)

    ²³And [the Lord] charged Joshua son of Nun, Be strong and courageous and firm, for you shall bring the Israelites into the land which I swore to give them, and I will be with you.

    ²⁴And when Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book to the very end,

    ²⁵He commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord,

    ²⁶Take this Book of the Law and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.

    ²⁷For I know your rebellion and stubbornness; behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more after my death!

    ²⁸Gather to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to witness against them.

    ²⁹For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days because you will do what is evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.

    ³⁰And Moses spoke in the hearing of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song until they were ended:

Mark 15

    ²And Pilate inquired of Him, Are You the King of the Jews? And He replied, It is as you say.

    ³And the chief priests kept accusing Him of many things.

    ⁴And Pilate again asked Him, Have ^[b]You no answer to make? See how many charges they are bringing against You!

    ⁵But Jesus made no further answer at all, so that Pilate wondered and marveled.^(B)

    ⁶Now at the Feast he [was accustomed to] set free for them any one prisoner whom they requested.

    ⁷And among the rioters in the prison who had committed murder in the insurrection there was a man named Barabbas.

    ⁸And the throng came up and began asking Pilate to do as he usually did for them.

    ⁹And he replied to them, Do you wish me to set free for you the King of the Jews?

    ¹⁰For he was aware that it was [^[c]because they were prompted] by envy that the chief priests had delivered Him up.

    ¹¹But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to get him to release for them Barabbas instead.

    ¹²And again Pilate said to them, Then what shall I do with the Man Whom you call the King of the Jews?

    ¹³And they shouted back again, Crucify Him!

    ¹⁴But Pilate said to them, Why? What has He done that is evil? But they shouted with all their might all the more, Crucify Him [^[d]at once]!

    ¹⁵So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, set Barabbas free for them; and after having Jesus whipped, he handed [Him] over to be crucified.^(C)

    ¹⁶Then the soldiers led Him away to the courtyard inside the palace, that is, the Praetorium, and they called the entire detachment of soldiers together.

    ¹⁷And they dressed Him in [a] purple [robe], and, weaving together a crown of thorns, they placed it on Him.

    ¹⁸And they began to salute Him, Hail (greetings, good health to You, long life to You), King of the Jews!

    ¹⁹And they struck His head with a staff made of a [bamboo-like] reed and spat on Him and kept bowing their knees in homage to Him.^(D)

    ²⁰And when they had [finished] making sport of Him, they took the purple [robe] off of Him and put His own clothes on Him. And they led Him out [of the city] to crucify Him.

    ²¹And they forced a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was coming in from the field (country), to carry His cross.

    ²²And they led Him to Golgotha [in Latin: Calvary], meaning The Place of a Skull.

    ²³And they [attempted to] give Him wine mingled with myrrh, but He would not take it.

    ²⁴And they crucified Him; and they divided His garments and distributed them among themselves, throwing lots for them to decide who should take what.^(E)

    ²⁵And it was the third hour (about nine o'clock in the morning) when they crucified Him.^(F)
