Book of Common Prayer

¹¹ And every priest is ready daily ministering, and repeatedly offers one manner of offering that can never take away sins. ¹² But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down forever on the right hand of God, ¹³ and from henceforth waits till his enemies be made his footstool. ¹⁴ For with one offering, he has made perfect forever those who are sanctified.

¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us of this, namely when he foretold: ¹⁶ This is the testament that I will make unto them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and in their mind I will write them, ¹⁷ and their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.

¹⁸ Now where there is remission of these things, there is no more offering for sin.

¹⁹ Seeing, brethren, that by the means of the blood of Jesus we may be bold to enter into that holy place, ²⁰ by the new and living way that he has prepared for us through the veil (that is to say, by his flesh), ²¹ and seeing also that we have a high priest who is ruler over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart, in full faith, sprinkled in our hearts from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water. ²³ And let us keep the profession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And let us consider one another, to encourage to love and to good works. ²⁵ And let us not forsake the fellowship that we have among ourselves, as the manner of some is, but let us exhort one another, and that so much the more because you see that the day draws near.

Jesus feeds 5,000 men, goes away in order that they should not make him king, and reproves the fleshly hearers of his word. The carnal are offended at him.

6 After these things, Jesus went his way over the sea of Galilee, near to a city called Tiberias. ² And a great number of people followed him, because they had seen the miracles he did on people who were diseased. ³ And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. ⁴ And Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. ⁵ Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and saw a great crowd coming to him, and said to Philip, Where will we buy bread so that these people can eat? ⁶ This he said to prove him, for he himself knew what he would do.

⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, so that everyone has a little. ⁸ Then one of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, ⁹ There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fishes, but what is that among so many? ¹⁰ And Jesus said, Make the people sit down.

There was much grass in the place. And the men sat down, in number about 5,000. ¹¹ And Jesus took the bread and gave thanks, and gave to the disciples, and his disciples to them that were seated. And likewise of the fishes, as much as they desired.

¹² When they had eaten enough, he said to his disciples, Gather up the leftover food that remains, so that nothing is lost. ¹³ And they gathered it together, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over from those who had eaten. ¹⁴ Then the people, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth the prophet that was to come into the world.

¹⁵ When Jesus perceived that they wanted to come and take him up to make him king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
