Psalm 106:16-23

New International Version

¹⁶In the camp they grew envious^(A) of Moses
    and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord.
¹⁷The earth opened^(B) up and swallowed Dathan;^(C)
    it buried the company of Abiram.^(D)
¹⁸Fire blazed^(E) among their followers;
    a flame consumed the wicked.
¹⁹At Horeb they made a calf^(F)
    and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
²⁰They exchanged their glorious God^(G)
    for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
²¹They forgot the God^(H) who saved them,
    who had done great things^(I) in Egypt,
²²miracles in the land of Ham^(J)
    and awesome deeds^(K) by the Red Sea.
²³So he said he would destroy^(L) them—
    had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach^(M) before him
    to keep his wrath from destroying them.

Whose Son Is the Messiah?^(A)

⁴¹Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?^(B) ⁴²David himself declares in the Book of Psalms:

“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
⁴³until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”’^[a]^(C)

⁴⁴David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”

Warning Against the Teachers of the Law

⁴⁵While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, ⁴⁶“Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.^(D) ⁴⁷They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle

9 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.^(A) ²A tabernacle^(B) was set up. In its first room were the lampstand^(C) and the table^(D) with its consecrated bread;^(E) this was called the Holy Place.^(F) ³Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,^(G) ⁴which had the golden altar of incense^(H) and the gold-covered ark of the covenant.^(I) This ark contained the gold jar of manna,^(J) Aaron’s staff that had budded,^(K) and the stone tablets of the covenant.^(L) ⁵Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory,^(M) overshadowing the atonement cover.^(N) But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.

⁶When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly^(O) into the outer room to carry on their ministry. ⁷But only the high priest entered^(P) the inner room,^(Q) and that only once a year,^(R) and never without blood,^(S) which he offered for himself^(T) and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.^(U) ⁸The Holy Spirit was showing^(V) by this that the way^(W) into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. ⁹This is an illustration^(X) for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered^(Y) were not able to clear the conscience^(Z) of the worshiper. ¹⁰They are only a matter of food^(AA) and drink^(AB) and various ceremonial washings^(AC)—external regulations^(AD) applying until the time of the new order.
