Psalm 105
English Standard Version
Tell of All His Wondrous Works
105 (A)Oh give thanks to the Lord; (B)call upon his name;
(C)make known his deeds among the peoples!
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
(D)tell of all his wondrous works!
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
4 Seek the Lord and his (E)strength;
(F)seek his presence continually!
5 Remember the (G)wondrous works that he has done,
his miracles, and (H)the judgments he uttered,
6 O offspring of (I)Abraham, his servant,
children of Jacob, his (J)chosen ones!
7 He is the Lord our God;
his (K)judgments are in all the earth.
8 He (L)remembers his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for (M)a thousand generations,
9 (N)the covenant that he made with Abraham,
his (O)sworn promise to Isaac,
10 which he confirmed to (P)Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 saying, (Q)“To you I will give the land of Canaan
as (R)your portion for an inheritance.”
12 When they were (S)few in number,
of little account, and (T)sojourners in it,
13 wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
14 he (U)allowed no one to oppress them;
he (V)rebuked kings on their account,
15 saying, (W)“Touch not my anointed ones,
do my prophets no harm!”
16 When he (X)summoned a famine on the land
and (Y)broke all supply[a] of bread,
17 he had (Z)sent a man ahead of them,
Joseph, who was (AA)sold as a slave.
18 His (AB)feet were hurt with fetters;
his neck was put in a collar of iron;
19 until (AC)what he had said came to pass,
the word of the Lord (AD)tested him.
20 (AE)The king sent and (AF)released him;
the ruler of the peoples set him free;
21 he (AG)made him lord of his house
and ruler of all his possessions,
22 to bind[b] his princes at his pleasure
and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 Then (AH)Israel came to Egypt;
Jacob (AI)sojourned in (AJ)the land of Ham.
24 And the Lord (AK)made his people very fruitful
and made them stronger than their foes.
25 He (AL)turned their hearts to hate his people,
to (AM)deal craftily with his servants.
26 He (AN)sent Moses, his servant,
and Aaron, (AO)whom he had chosen.
27 (AP)They performed his signs among them
and miracles in (AQ)the land of Ham.
28 He (AR)sent darkness, and made the land dark;
they (AS)did not rebel[c] against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood
and (AT)caused their fish to die.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in (AU)the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came (AV)swarms of flies,
(AW)and gnats throughout their country.
32 He gave them hail for rain,
and fiery (AX)lightning bolts through their land.
33 He struck down their vines and fig trees,
and (AY)shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke, and the (AZ)locusts came,
young locusts without number,
35 which devoured all the vegetation in their land
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 He (BA)struck down all the firstborn in their land,
(BB)the firstfruits of all their strength.
37 Then he brought out Israel with (BC)silver and gold,
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38 (BD)Egypt was glad when they departed,
for (BE)dread of them had fallen upon it.
39 He (BF)spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
40 (BG)They asked, and he (BH)brought quail,
and gave them (BI)bread from heaven in abundance.
41 He opened the rock, and (BJ)water gushed out;
it flowed through (BK)the desert like a river.
42 For he (BL)remembered his holy promise,
and (BM)Abraham, his servant.
43 So he brought his people out with joy,
his (BN)chosen ones with (BO)singing.
44 And he (BP)gave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,
45 that they might (BQ)keep his statutes
and (BR)observe his laws.
(BS)Praise the Lord!

6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,(K)
his chosen(L) ones, the children of Jacob.
7 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He remembers his covenant(M) forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
9 the covenant he made with Abraham,(N)
the oath he swore to Isaac.
10 He confirmed it(O) to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:(P)
11 “To you I will give the land of Canaan(Q)
as the portion you will inherit.”(R)
12 When they were but few in number,(S)
few indeed, and strangers in it,(T)
13 they wandered from nation to nation,(U)
from one kingdom to another.
14 He allowed no one to oppress(V) them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:(W)
15 “Do not touch(X) my anointed ones;
do my prophets(Y) no harm.”
16 He called down famine(Z) on the land
and destroyed all their supplies of food;
17 and he sent a man before them—
Joseph, sold as a slave.(AA)
18 They bruised his feet with shackles,(AB)
his neck was put in irons,
19 till what he foretold(AC) came to pass,
till the word(AD) of the Lord proved him true.
20 The king sent and released him,
the ruler of peoples set him free.(AE)
21 He made him master of his household,
ruler over all he possessed,
22 to instruct his princes(AF) as he pleased
and teach his elders wisdom.(AG)
23 Then Israel entered Egypt;(AH)
Jacob resided(AI) as a foreigner in the land of Ham.(AJ)
24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;
he made them too numerous(AK) for their foes,
25 whose hearts he turned(AL) to hate his people,
to conspire(AM) against his servants.
26 He sent Moses(AN) his servant,
and Aaron,(AO) whom he had chosen.(AP)
27 They performed(AQ) his signs(AR) among them,
his wonders(AS) in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness(AT) and made the land dark—
for had they not rebelled against(AU) his words?
29 He turned their waters into blood,(AV)
causing their fish to die.(AW)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,(AX)
which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
31 He spoke,(AY) and there came swarms of flies,(AZ)
and gnats(BA) throughout their country.
32 He turned their rain into hail,(BB)
with lightning throughout their land;
33 he struck down their vines(BC) and fig trees(BD)
and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke,(BE) and the locusts came,(BF)
grasshoppers(BG) without number;(BH)
35 they ate up every green thing in their land,
ate up the produce of their soil.
36 Then he struck down all the firstborn(BI) in their land,
the firstfruits of all their manhood.
37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,(BJ)
and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel(BK) had fallen on them.
39 He spread out a cloud(BL) as a covering,
and a fire to give light at night.(BM)
40 They asked,(BN) and he brought them quail;(BO)
he fed them well with the bread of heaven.(BP)
41 He opened the rock,(BQ) and water gushed out;
it flowed like a river in the desert.
42 For he remembered his holy promise(BR)
given to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought out his people with rejoicing,(BS)
his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44 he gave them the lands of the nations,(BT)
and they fell heir to what others had toiled(BU) for—
45 that they might keep his precepts
and observe his laws.(BV)

The Soul Who Sins Shall Die
18 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “What do you[a] mean (A)by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, (B)‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge’? 3 (C)As I live, declares the Lord God, (D)this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. 4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: (E)the soul who sins shall die.

The One Who Sins Will Die
18 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel:
“‘The parents eat sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?(A)
3 “As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote this proverb(B) in Israel. 4 For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me. The one who sins(C) is the one who will die.(D)

19 “Yet you say, (A)‘Why should not the son suffer for the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done (B)what is just and right, and has been careful to observe all my statutes, (C)he shall surely live. 20 (D)The soul who sins shall die. (E)The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. (F)The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, (G)and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
21 (H)“But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does (I)what is just and right, (J)he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22 (K)None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has done he shall live. 23 (L)Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? 24 (M)But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? (N)None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for (O)the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die.
25 (P)“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear now, O house of Israel: Is my way not just? Is it not your ways that are not just? 26 (Q)When a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice, he shall die for it; for the injustice that he has done he shall die. 27 Again, (R)when a wicked person turns away from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he shall save his life. 28 Because he considered and turned away from all the transgressions that he had committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 29 Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ O house of Israel, are my ways not just? Is it not your ways that are not just?
30 “Therefore (S)I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares the Lord God. (T)Repent and turn from all your transgressions, (U)lest iniquity be your ruin.[a] 31 (V)Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and (W)make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! (X)Why will you die, O house of Israel? 32 (Y)For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; (Z)so turn, and live.”

Hebrews 7:18-28
English Standard Version
18 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside (A)because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for (B)the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, (C)a better hope is introduced, through which (D)we draw near to God.
20 And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, 21 but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him:
(E)“The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind,
‘You are a priest forever.’”
22 This makes Jesus the guarantor of (F)a better covenant.
23 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues (G)forever. 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost[a] (H)those who draw near to God (I)through him, since he always lives (J)to make intercession for them.
26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, (K)holy, innocent, unstained, (L)separated from sinners, and (M)exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, (N)first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this (O)once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men (P)in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made (Q)perfect forever.

18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless(A) 19 (for the law made nothing perfect),(B) and a better hope(C) is introduced, by which we draw near to God.(D)
20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, 21 but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him:
22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.(G)
23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.(H) 25 Therefore he is able to save(I) completely[b] those who come to God(J) through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.(K)
26 Such a high priest(L) truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,(M) exalted above the heavens.(N) 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices(O) day after day, first for his own sins,(P) and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all(Q) when he offered himself.(R) 28 For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness;(S) but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son,(T) who has been made perfect(U) forever.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 (A)And behold, a (B)lawyer stood up to (C)put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to (D)inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, (E)“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and (F)your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; (G)do this, and you will live.”
29 But he, (H)desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man (I)was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a (J)priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise (K)a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a (L)Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and (M)bound up his wounds, pouring on (N)oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two (O)denarii[a] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”

The Parable of the Good Samaritan(A)
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(B)
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a];(C) and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”(D)
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”(E)
29 But he wanted to justify himself,(F) so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.(G) 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan,(H) as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
