Exodus 25

    ²Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring firstfruits to me: of every man that offereth of his own accord, you shall take them.

    ³And these are the things you must take: gold, and silver, and brass,

    ⁴Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats' hair,

    ⁵And rams' skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:

    ⁶Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling incense:

    ⁷Onyx stones, and precious stones to adorn the ephod and the rational.

    ⁸And they shall make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in the midst of them:

    ⁹According to all the likeness of the tabernacle which I will shew thee, and of all the vessels for the service thereof: and thus you shall make it:

    ¹⁰Frame an ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half: the breadth, a cubit and a half: the height, likewise, a cubit and a half.

    ¹¹And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold within and without: and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:

    ¹²And four golden rings, which thou shall put at the four corners of the ark: let two rings be on the one side, and two on the other.

    ¹³Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.

    ¹⁴And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them.

    ¹⁵And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any time be drawn out of them.

    ¹⁶And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.

    ¹⁷Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit and a half.

    ¹⁸Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle.

    ¹⁹Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.

    ²⁰Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings, and covering the oracle, and let them look one towards the other, their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith the ark is to be covered.

    ²¹In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.

    ²²Thence will I give orders, and will speak to thee over the propitiatory, and from the midst of the two cherubims, which shall be upon the ark of the testimony, all things which I will command the children of Israel by thee.

    ²³Thou shalt make a table also of setim wood, of two cubits in length, and a cubit in breadth, and a cubit and half in height.

    ²⁴And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold: and thou shalt make to it a golden ledge round about.

    ²⁵And to the ledge itself a polished crown, four inches high: and over the same another little golden crown.

    ²⁶Thou shalt prepare also four golden rings, and shalt put them in the four corners of the same table over each foot.

    ²⁷Under the crown shall the golden rings be, that the bars may be put through them, and the table may be carried.

    ²⁸The bars also themselves thou shalt make of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold to bear up the table.

    ²⁹Thou shalt prepare also dishes, and bowls, censers, and cups, wherein the libations are to be offered of the purest gold.

    ³⁰And thou shalt set upon the table loaves of proposition in my sight always.

    ³²Six branches shall come out of the sides, three out of the one side, and three out of the other.

    ³³Three cups as it were nuts to every branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily; and three cups, likewise of the fashion of nuts in the other branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily. Such shall be the work of the six branches, that are to come out from the shaft:

    ³⁴And in the candlestick itself shall be four cups in the manner of a nut, and at every one, bowls and lilies.

    ³⁵Bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six coming forth out of one shaft.

    ³⁶And both the bowls and the branches shall be of the same beaten work of the purest gold.

    ³⁷Thou shalt make also seven lamps, and shalt set them upon the candlestick, to give light over against.

    ³⁸The snuffers also and where the snuffings shall be put out, shall be made of the purest gold.

¹⁷And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:

    ¹⁸Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.

    ¹⁹And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.

    ²⁰Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.

    ²¹Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.

    ²²And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.

    ²³He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.

    ²⁴And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

    ²⁵But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon them.

    ²⁶It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:

    ²⁷And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.

    ²⁸Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.

    ³¹And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.

    ³²And Jesus stood, and called them, and said: What will ye that I do to you?

    ³³They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened.
