Leviticus 11

    ²Say to the Israelites: These are the animals ^[a]which you may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.^(A)

    ³Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, any of these animals you may eat.

    ⁴Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud or divide the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.

    ⁵And the coney or rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.

    ⁶And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.

    ⁷And the swine, because it divides the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you.

    ⁸Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.

    ⁹These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, these you may eat;

    ¹⁰But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all the creeping things in the waters, and of all the living creatures which are in the waters, they are [to be considered] an abomination and abhorrence to you.^(B)

    ¹¹They shall continue to be an abomination to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, but you shall detest their carcasses.

    ¹²Everything in the waters that has not fins or scales shall be abhorrent and detestable to you.

    ¹³These you shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, for they are detestable: the eagle, the ossifrage, the ospray,

    ¹⁴The kite, the whole species of falcon,

    ¹⁵Every kind of raven,

    ¹⁶The ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, every species of hawk,

    ¹⁷The owl, the cormorant, the ibis,

    ¹⁸The swan, the pelican, the vulture,

    ¹⁹The stork, all kinds of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

    ²⁰All winged insects that go upon all fours are to be an abomination to you;

    ²¹Yet of all winged insects that go upon all fours you may eat those which have legs above their feet with which to leap on the ground.

    ²²Of these you may eat: the whole species of locust, of bald locust, of cricket, and of grasshopper.^(C)

    ²³But all other winged insects which have four feet shall be detestable to you.

    ²⁴And by [contact with] these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening,

    ²⁵And whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

    ²⁶Every beast which parts the hoof but is not cloven-footed or does not chew the cud is unclean to you; everyone who touches them shall be unclean.

    ²⁷And all that go on their paws, among all kinds of four-footed beasts, are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening,

    ²⁸And he who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.

    ²⁹These also are unclean to you among the creeping things [that multiply greatly] and creep upon the ground: the weasel, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,

    ³⁰The gecko, the land crocodile, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.

    ³¹These are unclean to you among all that creep; whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.

    ³²And upon whatever they may fall when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it is an article of wood or clothing or skin (bottle) or sack, any vessel in which work is done; it must be put in water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.

    ³³And every earthen vessel into which any of these [creeping things] falls, whatever may be in it shall be unclean, and you shall break the vessel.

    ³⁴Of all the food [in one of these unclean vessels] which may be eaten, that on which such water comes shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk from every such vessel shall be unclean.

    ³⁵And everything upon which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether an oven, or pan with a lid, or hearth for pots, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.

    ³⁶Yet a spring or a cistern or reservoir of water shall be clean; but whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean.

    ³⁷If a part of their carcass falls on seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean;

    ³⁸But if any water be put on the seed and any part of their carcass falls on it, it shall be unclean to you.

    ³⁹If any animal of which you may eat dies [unslaughtered], he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

    ⁴⁰And he who eats of its carcass [ignorantly] shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

    ⁴¹And everything that creeps on the ground and [multiplies in] swarms shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

    ⁴²Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has more [than four] feet among all things that creep on the ground and swarm you shall not eat; for they are detestable.

    ⁴³You shall not make yourselves loathsome and abominable [by eating] any swarming thing that [multiplies by] swarms, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.

    ⁴⁴For I am the Lord your God; so consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am holy; neither defile yourselves with any manner of thing that multiplies in large numbers or swarms.^(D)

    ⁴⁵For I am the Lord Who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; therefore you shall be holy, for I am holy.^(E)

    ⁴⁶This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and creeps on the earth and multiplies in large numbers,

    ⁴⁷To make a difference (a distinction) between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.

Leviticus 12

    ²Say to the Israelites, If a woman conceives and bears a male child, she shall be unclean seven days, unclean as during her monthly discomfort.

    ³And on the eighth day the child shall be circumcised.

    ⁴Then she shall remain [separated] thirty-three days to be purified [from her loss] of blood; she shall touch no hallowed thing nor come into the [court of the] sanctuary until the days of her purifying are over.

    ⁵But if the child she bears is a girl, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her periodic impurity, and she shall remain separated sixty-six days to be purified [from her loss] of blood.

    ⁶When the days of her purifying are completed, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb a year old for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering to the door of the Tent of Meeting to the priest;

    ⁷And he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who has borne a male or a female child.

    ⁸If she is unable to bring a lamb [for lack of means] then she shall bring two turtledoves or young pigeons, one for a burnt offering, the other for a sin offering; the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.^(F)

Matthew 26

    ²You know that the Passover is in two days--and the Son of Man will be delivered up ^[a]treacherously to be crucified.

    ³Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the [^[b]open] court of the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

    ⁴And consulted together in order to arrest Jesus by stratagem secretly and put Him to death.

    ⁵But they said, It must not be during the Feast, for fear that there will be a riot among the people.

    ⁶Now when Jesus came back to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper,

    ⁷A woman came up to Him with an alabaster flask of very precious perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at table.

    ⁸And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, For what purpose is all this waste?

    ⁹For this perfume might have been sold for a large sum and the money given to the poor.

    ¹⁰But Jesus, fully aware of this, said to them, Why do you bother the woman? She has done a noble (praiseworthy and beautiful) thing to Me.

    ¹¹For you always have the poor among you, but you will not always have Me.^(A)

    ¹²In pouring this perfume on My body she has done something to prepare Me for My burial.

    ¹³Truly I tell you, wherever this good news (the Gospel) is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told also, in memory of her.

    ¹⁴Then one of the Twelve [apostles], who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

    ¹⁵And said, What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you? And they weighed out for and paid to him thirty pieces of silver [about twenty-one dollars and sixty cents].^(B)

    ¹⁶And from that moment he sought a fitting opportunity to betray Him.

    ¹⁷Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread [Passover week], the disciples came to Jesus and said to Him, Where do You wish us to prepare for You to eat the Passover supper?

    ¹⁸He said, Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, The Master says: My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.

    ¹⁹And accordingly the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they made ready the Passover supper.^(C)

    ²⁰When it was evening, He was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.

    ²¹And as they were eating, He said, Solemnly I say to you, one of you will betray Me!

    ²²They were exceedingly pained and distressed and deeply hurt and sorrowful and began to say to Him one after another, ^[c]Surely it cannot be I, Lord, can it?

    ²³He replied, He who has [just] dipped his hand in the same dish with Me will betray Me!

    ²⁴The Son of Man is going just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better (more profitable and wholesome) for that man if he had never been born!^(D)

    ²⁵Judas, the betrayer, said, ^[d]Surely it is not I, is it, Master? He said to him, You have stated [the fact].
