Leviticus 25

   
 ²"Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them: `When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.

   
 ³Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard and gather in the fruit thereof,

   
 ⁴but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD; thou shalt neither sow thy field nor prune thy vineyard.

   
 ⁵That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed; for it is a year of rest unto the land.

   
 ⁶And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you: for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger who sojourneth with thee;

   
 ⁷and for thy cattle and for the beasts that are in thy land shall all the increase thereof be meat.

   
 ⁸"`And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

   
 ⁹Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

   
 ¹⁰And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. It shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

   
 ¹¹A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.

   
 ¹²For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

   
 ¹³"`In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

   
 ¹⁴And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor or buyest aught of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not oppress one another.

   
 ¹⁵According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy from thy neighbor, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee.

   
 ¹⁶According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.

   
 ¹⁷Ye shall not therefore oppress one another, but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am the LORD your God.

   
 ¹⁸"`Therefore ye shall do My statutes, and keep My judgments and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

   
 ¹⁹And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill and dwell therein in safety.

   
 ²⁰And if ye shall say, "What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase."

   
 ²¹Then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

   
 ²²And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

   
 ²³The land shall not be sold for ever, for the land is Mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with Me.

   
 ²⁴And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

   
 ²⁵"`If thy brother waxeth poor and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

   
 ²⁶And if the man have none to redeem it, and he himself is able to redeem it,

   
 ²⁷then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it, that he may return unto his possession.

   
 ²⁸But if he is not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the Year of Jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

   
 ²⁹"`And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

   
 ³⁰And if it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the jubilee.

   
 ³¹But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country; they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.

   
 ³²Notwithstanding, the cities of the Levites and the houses of the cities of their possession may the Levites redeem at any time.

   
 ³³And if a man purchase from the Levites, then the house that was sold and the city of his possession shall go out in the Year of Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

   
 ³⁴But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.

   
 ³⁵"`And if thy brother be waxed poor and hath fallen into ruin with thee, then thou shalt relieve him, yea, though he be a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with thee.

   
 ³⁶Take thou no interest from him or increase; but fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.

   
 ³⁷Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

   
 ³⁸I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

   
 ³⁹"`And if thy brother who dwelleth by thee be waxed poor and is sold unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bond servant;

   
 ⁴⁰but as a hired servant and as a sojourner he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the Year of Jubilee.

   
 ⁴¹And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

   
 ⁴²For they are My servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen.

   
 ⁴³Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy God.

   
 ⁴⁴Both thy bondmen and thy bondmaids, whom thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen who are round about you. From them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

   
 ⁴⁵Moreover of the children of the strangers who sojourn among you, from them shall ye buy and from their families who are with you, whom they begot in your land; and they shall be your possession.

   
 ⁴⁶And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession. They shall be your bondmen for ever. But over your brethren, the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor.

   
 ⁴⁷"`And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother who dwelleth by him wax poor and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family,

   
 ⁴⁸after he is sold he may be redeemed again. One of his brethren may redeem him:

   
 ⁴⁹either his uncle or his uncle's son may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself.

   
 ⁵⁰And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the Year of Jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him.

   
 ⁵¹If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

   
 ⁵²And if there remain but few years unto the Year of Jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

   
 ⁵³And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him, and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight.

   
 ⁵⁴And if he is not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the Year of Jubilee, both he and his children with him.

   
 ⁵⁵For unto Me the children of Israel are servants. They are My servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

 ²³And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

   
 ²⁴saying, "Let us alone. What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? Hast Thou come to destroy us? I know Thee and who Thou art -- the Holy One of God!"

   
 ²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Hold thy peace, and come out of him!"

   
 ²⁶And when the unclean spirit had torn him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.

   
 ²⁷And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."

   
 ²⁸And immediately His fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

   
 ²⁹And forthwith when they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

   
 ³⁰But Simon's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and at once they told Him of her.

   
 ³¹And He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

   
 ³²And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought unto Him all who were diseased and those who were possessed with devils.

   
 ³³And all the city was gathered together at the door.

   
 ³⁴And He healed many who were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and He suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew Him.

   
 ³⁵And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

   
 ³⁶And Simon and those who were with Him followed after Him.

   
 ³⁷And when they had found Him, they said unto Him, "All men seek for Thee."

   
 ³⁸And He said unto them, "Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for therefore came I forth."

   
 ³⁹And He preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

   
 ⁴⁰And there came a leper to Him, beseeching Him and kneeling down to Him and saying unto Him, "If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean."

   
 ⁴¹And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth His hand and touched him, and said unto him, "I will; be thou clean."

   
 ⁴²And as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

   
 ⁴³And He strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away,

   
 ⁴⁴saying unto him, "See that thou say nothing to any man; but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony unto them."

   
 ⁴⁵But he went out and began to proclaim it much and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, and was outside in desert places. And they came to Him from every quarter.
