Exodus 26

26 And thou shalt make the tabernacle [with] ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of artistic work shalt thou make them.

The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits—one measure for all the curtains.

Five of the curtains shall be coupled one to another, and [the other] five curtains coupled one to another.

And thou shalt make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain at the end of the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make [them] in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.

Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make at the end of the curtain in the other coupling: the loops shall be opposite to one another.

And thou shalt make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, that the tabernacle may be one [whole].

And thou shalt make curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make them.

The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits—one measure for the eleven curtains.

And thou shalt couple five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the front of the tent.

10 And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.

11 And thou shalt make fifty clasps of copper, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent, that it may be one [whole].

12 And that which remaineth hanging over of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the rear of the tabernacle.

13 And the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14 And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins over [that].

15 And the boards for the tabernacle thou shalt make of acacia-wood, standing up;

16 ten cubits the length of the board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of one board.

17 One board shall have two tenons, connected one with the other: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.

19 And thou shalt make forty bases of silver under the twenty boards; two bases under one board for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.

20 And for the other side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards.

21 And their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.

22 And for the rear of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.

23 And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;

24 and they shall be joined beneath, and together shall be united at the top thereof to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

25 And there shall be eight boards, and their bases, of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.

26 And thou shalt make bars of acacia-wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward;

28 and the middle bar in the midst of the boards reaching from one end to the other.

29 And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make [of] gold their rings, the receptacles of the bars, and shalt overlay the bars with gold.

30 And thou shalt set up the tabernacle according to its fashion, as hath been shewn thee on the mountain.

31 And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; of artistic work shall it be made, with cherubim.

32 And thou shalt attach it to four pillars of acacia-wood overlaid with gold, their hooks of gold; they shall be on four bases of silver.

33 And thou shalt bring the veil under the clasps, and bring in thither, inside the veil, the ark of the testimony; and the curtain shall make a division to you between the holy [place] and the holiest of all.

34 And thou shalt put the mercy-seat on the ark of the testimony in the holiest of all.

35 And thou shalt set the table outside the veil, and the lamp-stand opposite to the table on the side of the tabernacle southward; and thou shalt put the table on the north side.

36 And thou shalt make for the entrance of the tent a curtain of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery.

37 And thou shalt make for the curtain five pillars of acacia[-wood], and overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be of gold; and thou shalt cast five bases of copper for them.

John 5

After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.

For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.]

But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

Jesus seeing this [man] lying [there], and knowing that he was [in that state] now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

The infirm [man] answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.

Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.

And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.

11 He answered them, He that made me well, *he* said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.

12 They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?

13 But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.

14 After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16 And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.

18 For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

19 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things *he* does, these things also the Son does in like manner.

20 For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

21 For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

22 for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;

23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

26 For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,

27 and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.

28 Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

29 and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.

30 I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

31 If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.

32 It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.

33 Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

34 But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that *ye* might be saved.

35 *He* was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

36 But I have the witness [that is] greater than [that] of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

37 And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,

38 and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom *he* hath sent, him ye do not believe.

39 Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me;

40 and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.

41 I do not receive glory from men,

42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone?

45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;

46 for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.

47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Proverbs 2

My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,

so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom [and] thou apply thy heart to understanding;

yea, if thou criest after discernment [and] liftest up thy voice to understanding;

if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures:

then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.

For Jehovah giveth wisdom; out of his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding.

He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; [he] is a shield to them that walk in integrity;

guarding the paths of just judgment and keeping the way of his godly ones.

Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity: every good path.

10 When wisdom entereth into thy heart and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul,

11 discretion shall keep thee, understanding shall preserve thee:

12 To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the man that speaketh froward things;

13 [from those] who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

14 who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of evil;

15 whose paths are crooked, and who are perverted in their course:

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words;

17 who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God;

18 —for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead;

19 none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:

20 —that thou mayest walk in the way of the good, and keep the paths of the righteous.

21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it;

22 but the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful shall be plucked up out of it.

Galatians 1

Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,

and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.

Grace to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father;

to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,

which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.

But if even *we* or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.

As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.

10 For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.

11 But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.

12 For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.

13 For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;

14 and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.

15 But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,

16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,

17 nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;

19 but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.

20 Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.

21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

22 But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;

23 only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:

24 and they glorified God in me.
