The Soldiers Mock Jesus^(A)

^27 (B)Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the ^[a]Praetorium and gathered the whole ^[b]garrison around Him. ²⁸ And they ^(C)stripped Him and ^(D)put a scarlet robe on Him. ^29 (E)When they had ^[c]twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ³⁰ Then ^(F)they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. ³¹ And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, ^(G)and led Him away to be crucified.

The King on a Cross^(H)

^32 (I)Now as they came out, ^(J)they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross. ^33 (K)And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, ^34 (L)they gave Him ^[d]sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.

^35 (M)Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, ^[e]that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet:

^36 (O)Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. ³⁷ And they ^(P)put up over His head the accusation written against Him:

THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

^38 (Q)Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.

³⁹ And ^(R)those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, ^(S)“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! ^(T)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the ^[f]scribes and elders, said, ⁴² “He ^(U)saved others; Himself He cannot save. ^[g]If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe ^[h]Him. ^43 (V)He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”

^44 (W)Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.

The Tabernacle Erected and Arranged

40 Then the Lord ^(A)spoke to Moses, saying: ² “On the first day of the ^(B)first month you shall set up ^(C)the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. ^3 (D)You shall put in it the ark of the Testimony, and ^[a]partition off the ark with the veil. ^4 (E)You shall bring in the table and ^(F)arrange the things that are to be set in order on it; ^(G)and you shall bring in the lampstand and ^[b]light its lamps. ^5 (H)You shall also set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the Testimony, and put up the screen for the door of the tabernacle. ⁶ Then you shall set the ^(I)altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. ⁷ And ^(J)you shall set the laver between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar, and put water in it. ⁸ You shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen at the court gate.

⁹ “And you shall take the anointing oil, and ^(K)anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it; and you shall hallow it and all its utensils, and it shall be holy. ¹⁰ You shall ^(L)anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar. ^(M)The altar shall be most holy. ¹¹ And you shall anoint the laver and its base, and consecrate it.

^12 (N)“Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of meeting and wash them with water. ¹³ You shall put the holy ^(O)garments on Aaron, ^(P)and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest. ¹⁴ And you shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics. ¹⁵ You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to Me as priests; for their anointing shall surely be ^(Q)an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”

¹⁶ Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

¹⁷ And it came to pass in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, that the ^(R)tabernacle was ^[c]raised up. ¹⁸ So Moses raised up the tabernacle, fastened its sockets, set up its boards, put in its bars, and raised up its pillars. ¹⁹ And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ²⁰ He took ^(S)the Testimony and put it into the ark, inserted the poles through the rings of the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark. ²¹ And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, ^(T)hung up the veil of the covering, and partitioned off the ark of the Testimony, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

^22 (U)He put the table in the tabernacle of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil; ^23 (V)and he set the bread in order upon it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ^24 (W)He put the lampstand in the tabernacle of meeting, across from the table, on the south side of the tabernacle; ²⁵ and ^(X)he lit the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ^26 (Y)He put the gold altar in the tabernacle of meeting in front of the veil; ^27 (Z)and he burned sweet incense on it, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ^28 (AA)He hung up the screen at the door of the tabernacle. ^29 (AB)And he put the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and ^(AC)offered upon it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ^30 (AD)He set the laver between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar, and put water there for washing; ³¹ and Moses, Aaron, and his sons would ^(AE)wash their hands and their feet with water from it. ³² Whenever they went into the tabernacle of meeting, and when they came near the altar, they washed, ^(AF)as the Lord had commanded Moses. ^33 (AG)And he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the screen of the court gate. So Moses ^(AH)finished the work.

The Cloud and the Glory^(AI)

^34 (AJ)Then the ^(AK)cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the ^(AL)glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. ³⁵ And Moses ^(AM)was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. ^36 (AN)Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would ^[d]go onward in all their journeys. ³⁷ But ^(AO)if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up. ³⁸ For ^(AP)the cloud of the Lord was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
