7 ¶ The LORD said unto Moses, See, I have constituted thee as god unto Pharaoh; and Aaron, thy brother, shall be thy prophet.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I shall command thee; and Aaron, thy brother, shall speak unto Pharaoh that he send the sons of Israel out of his land.
3 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 And Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, but I shall lay my hand upon Egypt and bring forth my hosts, and my people, the sons of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from among them.
6 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7 And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke unto Pharaoh.
8 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 If Pharaoh shall answer you, saying, Show a miracle, then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod and cast it before Pharaoh, that it shall become a dragon.
10 So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his slaves, and it became a dragon.
11 Then Pharaoh also called wise men and sorcerers; now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their fire worship.
12 For each one cast down his rod, and they became dragons; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 And Pharaoh’s heart became hard, that he hearkened not unto them as the LORD had said.
14 ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is become grievous, for he refuses to let the people go.
15 Go unto Pharaoh in the morning; behold, he goes out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink before him and take in thy hand the rod which was turned to a serpent
16 and say unto him, The LORD, the God of the Hebrews has sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; and, behold, until now thou hast not desired to hear.
17 Thus hath the LORD said, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD; behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water of the river.
19 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their rivers, upon their streams, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and lifting up the rod, he smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his slaves; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became corrupted, so that the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did the same with their enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart hardened itself, and he did not hearken unto them, as the LORD had said.
23 And Pharaoh turned and returned to his house, and even with all this he did not take this to heart.
24 And in all Egypt they dug wells round about the river for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 And seven days were fulfilled after the LORD had smitten the river.
10 ¶ After these things the Lord appointed another seventy also and sent them two by two before his face into every city and place where he himself would come.
2 Therefore he said unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go; behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse nor provision bag nor shoes, and greet no one on the way.
5 And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if indeed there is a son of peace there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatever city ye enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you
9 and heal the sick that are therein and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come near unto you.
10 But into whatever city ye enter and they receive you not, go out into the streets of the same and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city which cleaves on us we do wipe off against you; notwithstanding be ye sure of this that the kingdom of God is come near unto you.
12 But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in you, they would have repented a long while ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Therefore it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto the heavens, shalt be thrust down to Hades.
16 He that hears you hears me, and he that despises you despises me, and he that despises me despises him that sent me.
17 ¶ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding, rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in the heavens.
21 In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto babes; even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father, and no one knows who the Son is, but the Father, and who the Father is, but the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 And he turned him unto his disciples and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see,
24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see those things which ye see and did not see them and to hear those things which ye hear and did not hear them.
25 ¶ And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy strength and with all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right; do this, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment and wounded him and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And it so happened that a certain priest came down that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he came near the place and looked on him, he passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion
34 and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two denarius and gave them to the host and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go and do thou likewise.
38 ¶ Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about in much serving and came to him and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things;
42 but only one thing is necessary, and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
24 ¶ Why, seeing that times are not hidden from the Almighty, do those that know him not see his days?
2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks and feed thereof.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless; they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way; and all the poor of the earth hide themselves from them.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, rising early for a prey; the wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
6 In the field they reap their fodder, and the wicked gather the vintage that is not theirs.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the floods of the mountains and embrace the rock for want of a covering.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast and take a pledge of the poor.
10 They cause the naked to go without clothing, and they take away the sheaves from the hungry.
11 They press oil within their walls and tread their winepresses and suffer thirst.
12 Men groan from out of the city, and the souls of the dead cry out; yet God did not hinder them.
13 ¶ They are among those that rebel against the light; they have never known its ways nor abided in its paths.
14 The murderer rises with the light, kills the poor and the needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15 The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and disguises his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime; they do not know the light.
17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death; if they are known, the terrors of the shadow of death come over them.
18 ¶ They are swift upon the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; they never come by the way of the vineyards.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters; so does Sheol consume those who have sinned.
20 The Merciful One shall forget them; the worm shall feed sweetly on them; they shall never be remembered again; and iniquity shall be broken as a tree.
21 He afflicted the barren woman that did not conceive and never did good unto the widow.
22 He furthered the violent with his power; he did not lend to anyone in his life.
23 If he gave credit to some to take them over, his eyes were upon their ways.
24 They were exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all others and cut off as the tops of the heads of grain.
25 And if it is not so now, who will make me a liar or reduce my speech to nothing?
11 ¶ Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2 Now I praise you, brothers, that ye remember me in all things and retain my instructions the same as I spoke unto you.
3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is the Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonours his head.
5 But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head, for that is even the same as if she were shaven.
6 For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn; but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her head: because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it honest that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man lets his hair grow, it is dishonest?
15 But if a woman lets her hair grow, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given her for a covering.
16 With all this, if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of God.
17 ¶ Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not: that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
18 For first of all, when ye come together in the congregation, {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19 For it is expedient that there also be heresies among you, so that those who are proved may become manifest among you.
20 So that when ye come together in one place, this is not eating the Lord’s supper.
21 For in eating, each one takes his own supper first: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 What? Do ye not have houses to eat and to drink in? or do ye despise the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of God and shame those that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
23 ¶ For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread;
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, after he had eaten supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood; do this each time that ye drink, in remembrance of me.
26 For each time that ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye declare the Lord’s death until he comes.
27 Therefore whoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let each man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29 For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31 For if we would examine ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But being judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.
34 And if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home; that ye not come together unto judgment. And I will set the rest in order when I come.
