Leviticus 14

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought unto the priest,

 ³and the priest shall go out of the camp; and when the priest looketh, and behold, the sore of leprosy is healed in the leper,

 ⁴then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two clean living birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

 ⁵And the priest shall command that one bird be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:

 ⁶as to the living bird -- he shall take it, and the cedar-wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water;

 ⁷and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.

 ⁸And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his garments, and shave all his hair, and bathe in water, and he shall be clean; and afterwards shall he come into the camp, and shall abide outside his tent seven days.

 ⁹And it shall come to pass on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair shall he shave, and he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe his flesh in water, and he is clean.

 ¹⁰And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one yearling ewe-lamb without blemish, and three tenth parts of fine flour mingled with oil, for an oblation, and one log of oil.

 ¹¹And the priest that cleanseth [him] shall present the man that is to be cleansed and those things before Jehovah, at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

 ¹²And the priest shall take one he-lamb, and present it for a trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them as a wave-offering before Jehovah.

 ¹³And he shall slaughter the he-lamb at the place where the sin-offering and the burnt-offering are slaughtered, in a holy place; for as the sin-offering, so the trespass-offering is the priest's: it is most holy.

 ¹⁴And the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

 ¹⁵And the priest shall take of the log of oil, and pour it into his, the priest's, left hand;

 ¹⁶and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah.

 ¹⁷And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass-offering.

 ¹⁸And the remainder of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah.

 ¹⁹And the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterwards shall he slaughter the burnt-offering.

 ²⁰And the priest shall offer the burnt-offering and the oblation upon the altar; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

 ²¹But if he be poor, and his hand be not able to get it, then he shall take one lamb for a trespass-offering, for a wave-offering, to make atonement for him; and one tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for an oblation; and a log of oil,

 ²²and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, as his hand may be able to get: the one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering.

 ²³And he shall bring them on the eighth day of his cleansing unto the priest, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah.

 ²⁴And the priest shall take the he-lamb of the trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave-offering before Jehovah.

 ²⁵And he shall slaughter the he-lamb of the trespass-offering; and the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

 ²⁶And the priest shall pour of the oil into [his], the priest's, left hand,

 ²⁷and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Jehovah.

 ²⁸And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass-offering.

 ²⁹And the remainder of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Jehovah.

 ³⁰And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, of what his hand was able to get;

 ³¹of what his hand was able to get shall the one be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering, with the oblation; and the priest shall make atonement for him that is to be cleansed before Jehovah.

 ³²This is the law for him in whom is the sore of leprosy, whose hand cannot get what is [regularly prescribed] in his cleansing.

 ³³And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

 ³⁴When ye come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a leprous plague in a house of the land of your possession,

 ³⁵then he whose house it is shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me like a plague in the house;

 ³⁶and the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to see the house.

 ³⁷And when he looketh on the plague, and behold, the plague is in the walls of the house, greenish or reddish hollows, and their look is deeper than the surface of the wall,

 ³⁸then the priest shall go out of the house to the entrance of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

 ³⁹And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and when he looketh, and behold, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house,

 ⁴⁰then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them out of the city, in an unclean place.

 ⁴¹And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar that they have scraped off, out of the city in an unclean place.

 ⁴²And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and they shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

 ⁴³And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered,

 ⁴⁴then the priest shall come, and when he looketh, and behold, the plague hath spread in the house, it is a corroding leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

 ⁴⁵And they shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house, and shall carry them forth out of the city to an unclean place.

 ⁴⁶And he that goeth into the house as long as it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

 ⁴⁷And he that sleepeth in the house shall wash his garments, and he that eateth in the house shall wash his garments.

 ⁴⁸But if the priest shall come in and look, and behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house hath been plastered, the priest shall pronounce the house clean; for the plague is healed.

 ⁴⁹And he shall take, to purge the house from the defilement, two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

 ⁵⁰and he shall kill one bird in an earthen vessel over running water;

 ⁵¹and he shall take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times;

 ⁵²and he shall purge the house from the defilement with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

 ⁵³and he shall let the living bird loose out of the city into the open field; and he shall make atonement for the house, and it is clean.

 ⁵⁴This is the law for every sore of leprosy, and for the scall,

 ⁵⁵and for the leprosy of garments, and of houses,

 ⁵⁶and for the rising, and for the scab, and for the bright spot,

 ⁵⁷to teach when there is uncleanness, and when it is purified: this is the law of leprosy.

 ⁵¹And behold, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smiting the bondman of the high priest took off his ear.

 ⁵²Then saith Jesus to him, Return thy sword to its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword.

 ⁵³Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?

 ⁵⁴How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?

 ⁵⁵In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily [with you] teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.

 ⁵⁶But all this is come to pass that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.

 ⁵⁷Now they that had seized Jesus led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

 ⁵⁸And Peter followed him at a distance, even to the palace of the high priest, and entering in sat with the officers to see the end.

 ⁵⁹And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

 ⁶⁰And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward

 ⁶¹and said, *He* said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days build it.

 ⁶²And the high priest standing up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?

 ⁶³But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if *thou* art the Christ the Son of God.

 ⁶⁴Jesus says to him, *Thou* hast said. Moreover, I say to you, From henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

 ⁶⁵Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy.

 ⁶⁶What think ye? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death.

 ⁶⁷Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and some struck him with the palms of their hand,

 ⁶⁸saying, Prophesy to us, Christ, Who is it who struck thee?

 ⁶⁹But Peter sat without in the palace-court; and a maid came to him, saying, And *thou* wast with Jesus the Galilaean.

 ⁷⁰But he denied before all, saying, I do not know what thou sayest.

 ⁷¹And when he had gone out into the entrance, another [maid] saw him, and says to those there, This [man] also was with Jesus the Nazaraean.

 ⁷²And again he denied with an oath: I do not know the man.

 ⁷³And after a little, those who stood [there], coming to [him], said to Peter, Truly *thou* too art of them, for also thy speech makes thee manifest.

 ⁷⁴Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately [the] cock crew.

 ⁷⁵And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said [to him], Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went forth without, and wept bitterly.
