Leviticus 23

Laws of Religious Festivals

 ²"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, '^(A)The LORD'S appointed times which you shall ^(B)proclaim as holy convocations--My appointed times are these:

 ³'^(C)For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.

 ⁴'These are the ^(D)appointed times of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them.

 ⁵'^(E)In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight is the LORD'S Passover.

 ⁶'Then on the fifteenth day of the same month there is the ^(F)Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

 ⁷'On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall ^(G)not do any laborious work.

 ⁸'But for seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.'"

 ⁹Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

 ¹⁰"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land which I am going to give to you and ^(H)reap its harvest, then you shall bring in the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.

 ¹¹'He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD for you to be accepted; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

 ¹²'Now on the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb one year old without defect for a burnt offering to the LORD.

 ¹³'Its ^(I)grain offering shall then be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering by fire to the LORD for a soothing aroma, with its drink offering, a fourth of a ^[a]hin of wine.

 ¹⁴'Until this same day, until you have brought in the offering of your God, ^(J)you shall eat neither bread nor roasted grain nor new growth. It is to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.

 ¹⁵'^(K)You shall also count for yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete sabbaths.

 ¹⁶'You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh sabbath; then you shall present a ^(L)new grain offering to the LORD.

 ¹⁷'You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of a fine flour, baked ^(M)with leaven as first fruits to the LORD.

 ¹⁸'Along with the bread you shall present seven one year old male lambs without defect, and a bull of the herd and two rams; they are to be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the LORD.

 ¹⁹'You shall also offer ^(N)one male goat for a sin offering and two male lambs one year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

 ²⁰'The priest shall then wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering with two lambs before the LORD; they are to be holy to the LORD for the priest.

 ²¹'On this same day you shall ^(O)make a proclamation as well; you are to have a holy convocation You shall do no laborious ^(P)work. It is to be a perpetual statute in all your dwelling places throughout your generations.

 ²²'^(Q)When you reap the harvest of your land, moreover, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field nor gather the gleaning of your harvest; you are to leave them for the needy and the alien. I am the LORD your God.'"

 ²³Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²⁴"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, '^(R)In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a ^(S)reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

 ²⁵'You shall ^(T)not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD.'"

The Day of Atonement

 ²⁷"On exactly ^(U)the tenth day of this seventh month is ^(V)the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to the LORD.

 ²⁸"You shall not do any work on this same day, for it is a ^(W)day of atonement, ^(X)to make atonement on your behalf before the LORD your God.

 ²⁹"If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day, ^(Y)he shall be cut off from his people.

 ³⁰"As for any person who does any work on this same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.

 ³¹"You shall do no work at all. It is to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.

 ³²"It is to be a sabbath of complete rest to you, and you shall humble your souls; on the ninth of the month at evening, from evening until evening you shall keep your sabbath."

 ³³Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

 ³⁴"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'On ^(Z)the fifteenth of this seventh month is the ^(AA)Feast of Booths for seven days to the LORD.

 ³⁵'On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall do ^(AB)no laborious work of any kind.

 ³⁶'^(AC)For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD On ^(AD)the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the LORD; it is an assembly. You shall do no laborious work.

 ³⁷'These are ^(AE)the appointed times of the LORD which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present offerings by fire to the LORD--burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, ^(AF)each day's matter on its own day--

 ³⁸besides those of the sabbaths of the LORD, and besides your gifts and besides all your votive and freewill offerings, which you give to the LORD.

 ³⁹'On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, ^(AG)when you have gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the LORD for seven days, with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day.

 ⁴⁰'Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.

 ⁴¹'You shall thus celebrate it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

 ⁴²'You shall live ^(AH)in booths for seven days; all the native-born in Israel shall live in booths,

 ⁴³so that ^(AI)your generations may know that I had the sons of Israel live in booths when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.'"

 ⁴⁴So Moses declared to the sons of Israel ^(AJ)the appointed times of the LORD.

Leviticus 24

The Lamp and the Bread of the Sanctuary

 ²"Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you ^(AK)clear oil from beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually.

 ³"Outside the veil of testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

 ⁴"He shall keep the lamps in order on the ^(AL)pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.

 ⁵"^(AM)Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.

 ⁶"You shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the ^(AN)pure gold table before the LORD.

 ⁷"You shall put pure frankincense on each row that it may be ^(AO)a memorial portion for the bread, even an offering by fire to the LORD.

 ⁸"^(AP)Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD ^(AQ)continually; it is an everlasting covenant for the sons of Israel.

 ⁹"^(AR)It shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the LORD'S offerings by fire, his portion forever."

 ¹⁰Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman's son and a man of Israel struggled with each other in the camp.

 ¹¹The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the ^(AS)Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

 ¹²They put him in custody so that ^(AT)the command of the LORD might be made clear to them.

 ¹³Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

 ¹⁴"Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him ^(AU)lay their hands on his head; then ^(AV)let all the congregation stone him.

 ¹⁵"You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, '^(AW)If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin.

 ¹⁶'Moreover, the one who ^(AX)blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The alien as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

"An Eye for an Eye"

 ¹⁸'^(AZ)The one who takes the life of an animal shall make it good, life for life.

 ¹⁹'If a man injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him:

 ^20(BA)fracture for fracture, ^(BB)eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a man, so it shall be inflicted on him.

 ²¹'Thus the one who kills an animal shall make it good, but ^(BC)the one who kills a man shall be put to death.

 ²²'There shall be ^(BD)one standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the LORD your God.'"

 ²³Then Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought the one who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him with stones. Thus the sons of Israel did, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Mark 1

Preaching of John the Baptist

 ^2(B)As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
         "^(C)BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU,
         WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY;
    ^3(D)THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS,
         'MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD,
         MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.'"

 ⁴John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness ^[a](E)preaching a baptism of repentance for the ^(F)forgiveness of sins.

 ⁵And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

 ⁶John was clothed with camel's hair and wore ^(G)a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey.

 ⁷And he was preaching, and saying, "After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.

 ⁸"I baptized you ^[b]with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

The Baptism of Jesus

 ¹⁰Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;

 ¹¹and a voice came out of the heavens: "^(J)You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."

 ^12(K)Immediately the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.

 ¹³And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by ^(L)Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.

Jesus Preaches in Galilee

 ¹⁵and saying, "^(O)The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; ^(P)repent and believe in the gospel."

 ^16(Q)As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

 ¹⁷And Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."

 ¹⁸Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

 ¹⁹Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

 ²⁰Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him.

 ^21(R)They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath ^(S)He entered the synagogue and began to teach.

 ^22(T)They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
