25 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, so that they receive an offering for Me. You shall take the offering for Me from every man whose heart gives it freely.
3 “And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold and silver, and copper,
4 “and blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen and goat’s hair,
5 “and ram’s skins (colored red), and the skins of badgers, and shittim wood,
6 “oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for the perfume of sweet savor,
7 “onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.
8 “Also they shall make Me a Sanctuary, so that I may dwell among them.
9 “Exactly according to all that I show you, shall you make the form of the Tabernacle, and the fashion of all its instruments.
10 “They shall also make an Ark of shittim wood, two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high.
11 “And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside shall you overlay it, and shall make a gold border all around it.
12 “And you shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them in its four corners. That is, two rings shall be on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
13 “And you shall make poles of shittim wood and cover them with gold.
14 “Then you shall put the poles in the rings, on the sides of the Ark, and carry the Ark with them.
15 “The poles shall be in the rings of the Ark. They shall not be taken away from it.
16 “So, you shall put the Testimony (which I shall give you) in the Ark.
17 “Also, you shall make a Mercy Seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half broad.
18 “And you shall make two Cherubims of gold; of work beaten out with a hammer you shall make them, at the two ends of the Mercy Seat.
19 “And you shall make one Cherub at one end, and the other Cherub at the other end. From one piece you shall make the Cherubims with the Mercy Seat, on its two ends.
20 “And the Cherubims shall stretch their wings on high, covering the Mercy Seat with their wings and their faces toward one another. Toward the Mercy Seat shall the faces of the Cherubims be.
21 “And you shall put the Mercy Seat on top of the Ark. And in the Ark you shall put the Testimony which I will give you.
22 “And there I will declare Myself to you. And from above the Mercy Seat, between the two Cherubims which are upon the Ark of the Testimony, I will tell you all things which I will give you in Commandment to the children of Israel.
23 “You shall also make a Table of shittim wood, two cubits long, one cubit broad, and a cubit and a half high.
24 “And you shall cover it with pure gold and make a border of gold all around it.
25 “You shall also make a rim for it all around, the width of a handbreadth. And you shall make a golden border all around the rim of it.
26 “After, you shall make four rings of gold for it, and shall put the rings on the four corners which are on its four feet.
27 “The rings shall be close to the border, as places for poles, to carry the Table.
28 “And you shall make the poles of shittim wood, and shall overlay them with gold, so that the Table may be carried with them.
29 “You shall also make dishes for it, and cups for it, and coverings for it, and goblets, with which it shall be covered. Of fine gold you shall make them.
30 “And you shall set Showbread upon the Table before Me continually.
31 “Also, you shall make a Lampstand of pure gold. Of work beaten out with a hammer shall the Lampstand be made. Its shaft and its branches, its bowls, its knobs and its flowers shall be of the same.
32 “Also, six branches shall come out of the sides of it—three branches of the Lampstand out of one side of it, and three branches of the Lampstand out of the other side of it.
33 “Three bowls are to be like almonds, one knob and one flower in one branch. And three bowls are to be like almonds in the other branch, one knob and one flower. So it is throughout the six branches that come out of the Lampstand.
34 “And in the shaft of the Lampstand shall be four bowls like almonds, with its knobs and its flowers.
35 “And there shall be a knob under its first pair of branches, and a knob under its second pair of branches, and a knob under its third pair of branches, according to the six branches coming out of the Lampstand.
36 “Their knobs and their branches shall be one piece. All this shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37 “And you shall make the seven Lamps for it. And you shall put on the Lamps for it, so as to give light toward that which is before it.
38 “Also, its snuffers and snuff dishes shall be of pure gold.
39 “You shall make it from a talent of fine gold, with all these instruments.
40 “See, therefore, that you make them after the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.”
4 Now, when the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),
3 He left Judea and departed again into Galilee.
4 And it was necessary for Him to go through Samaria.
5 Then He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the place that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.
6 And Jacob’s Well was there. Jesus then, wearied by the journey, sat upon the Well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me drink.”
8 For His disciples had gone into the city to buy food.
9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask me for drink, who is a woman of Samaria? For the Jews do not associate with the Samaritans.”
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and Who it is Who says to you, ‘Give me drink’, you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you water of life.”
11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the Well is deep. From where then have You the water of life?
12 Are You greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the Well; and he himself drank thereof, and his sons, and his cattle?”
13 Jesus answered, and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water, shall thirst again.
14 “But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst. But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.”
15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me of that water, that I may never thirst, nor come here to draw again.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.”
17 The woman answered, and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband.’
18 For you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. That you said truly.”
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I see that You are a Prophet.
20 “Our fathers worshiped on this mountain. And You say that Jerusalem is the place wherein it is necessary to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me. The hour comes when you shall neither on this mountain, nor at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 “You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know. For salvation is from the Jews.
23 “But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. For the Father requires even such to worship Him.
24 “God is a Spirit. And those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth.”
25 The woman said to Him, “I know well that Messiah shall come, Who is called Christ. When He has come, He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I am He, Who speaks to you.”
27 And upon this came His disciples, and marveled that He talked with a woman. Yet no one said to Him, “What do You seek?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
28 The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and said to the men,
29 “Come! See a Man who has told me all things that ever I did! Can this be the Christ?”
30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.
31 Meanwhile, the disciples urged Him, saying, “Master, eat.”
32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you know not of.”
33 Then the disciples said between themselves, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is that I may do the will of Him who sent Me and finish His work.
35 “Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes harvest?’ Behold, I say to you lift up your eyes and look at the fields. For they are white toward harvest already.
36 “And the one who reaps, receives reward, and gathers fruit to life eternal; that both the one who sows and the one who reaps might rejoice together.
37 “For herein is the true saying: that one sows and another reaps.
38 “I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored. Other men labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
39 Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the saying of the woman who testified, “He has told me all things that ever I did.”
40 Then, when the Samaritans came to Him, they urged Him to stay with them. And He stayed there two days.
41 And many more believed because of His word.
42 And they said to the woman, “Now we believe; not because of your saying, but because we have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
43 So, two days later He departed from there and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus Himself had testified that a Prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Then when He had come into Galilee, the Galileans who had seen all the things He did at Jerusalem, at the feast, received Him. For they also went to the feast.
46 And Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where He had made wine from water. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him, and urged Him to go down and heal his son. For he was about to die.
48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 The ruler said to Him, “Sir, go down before my son dies.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” And the man believed the Word that Jesus had spoken to him and went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, “Your son lives!”
52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he began to feel better. And they said to him, “Yesterday, the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
53 Then the father knew that it was the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” And he believed, and all his household.
54 This, again, is the second miracle Jesus did after He had come out of Judea into Galilee.
1 The Proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, King of Israel:
2 to know wisdom and instruction; to understand the words of knowledge;
3 to receive instruction; to do wisely by justice and judgment and equity;
4 to give sharpness of wit to the simple, and knowledge and discretion to the child.
5 And a wise man shall hear and increase in learning. And a man of understanding shall attain to wise counsels;
6 to understand a parable and the interpretation, the words of the wise and their dark sayings.
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear your father’s instruction, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
9 For they shall be a comely ornament for your head, and as chains for your neck.
10 My son, if the wicked entice you, do not consent.
11 If they say, “Come with us. We will lay in wait for blood, and lie secretly for the innocent, without a cause.
12 “We will swallow them up alive like a grave, even whole, as those who go down into the pit.
13 “We shall find all precious riches. And fill our houses with spoil:
14 “Cast in your lot among us. And we will all have one purse.”
15 My son, do not walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path.
16 For their feet run to evil and hurry to shed blood.
17 Certainly, as without cause, the net is spread before the eyes of all who have wing.
18 So they lay in wait for blood and lie secretly for their lives.
19 Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. He would take away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom cries outside. She utters her voice in the streets.
21 She calls in the high street, among the praise in the enterings of the gates, and utters her words in the city, saying,
22 “O you foolish! How long will you love foolishness, and the scornful take their pleasure in scorning, and the fools hate knowledge?
23 “Turn at my correction! Lo, I will pour out my mind to you, and make you understand my words!
24 “Because I have called, and you refused. I have stretched out my hand, and none would regard.
25 “But you have despised all my counsel. And would have none of my correction.
26 “I will also laugh at your destruction, and mock when your fear comes,
27 “when your fear comes like sudden desolation. And your destruction shall come like a whirlwind when affliction and anguish shall come upon you.
28 “Then shall they call upon me. But I will not answer. They shall seek me early, but they shall not find me.
29 “Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD.
30 “They would have none of my counsel; but despised all my correction.
31 “Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way; and be filled with their own devices.
32 “For ease slays the foolish, and the prosperity of fools destroys them.
33 But he who obeys me, shall dwell safely, and be quiet from fear of evil.
13 This is the third time that I come to you. In the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word stand.
2 I told you before, and tell you now beforehand, as though I had been present a second time. So I write now - being absent from those who until now have sinned, and to all others - that if I come again, I will not spare anyone;
3 since you seek proof of Christ speaking in me, Who is not weak toward you, but is mighty in you.
4 For though He was crucified through His weakness, yet He lives through the power of God. And we, no doubt, are weak in Him. But we shall live with Him, through the power of God, toward you.
5 Test yourselves, whether you are in the faith. Examine yourselves. Do you not know yourselves how that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are disqualified?
6 But I trust that you shall know that we are not disqualified.
7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we should seem approved, but that you should do that which is honest, though we may be disqualified.
8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but for the truth.
9 For we are glad when we are weak, and you are strong. For this also we pray: even your perfecting.
10 Therefore, I write these things while being absent (so that when I am present, I should not use sharpness) according to the power which the Lord has given me to edification, and not to destruction.
11 Finally brothers, farewell. Be perfect. Be of good comfort. Be of one mind. Live in peace. And the God of love and peace shall be with you.
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the Saints salute you.
13 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ - and the love of God - and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.
(the second Epistle to the Corinthians written from Philippi - a city in Macedonia - and sent by Titus and Lucas)
