16 ¶ And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
2 And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness;
3 and the sons of Israel said unto them, It would have been better if we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots and when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
4 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the word for every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
5 And it shall come to pass that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in, which shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6 Then Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, At evening ye shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
7 And in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for he has heard your murmurings against the LORD; and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8 And Moses said, This shall be when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat and in the morning bread to the full; for the LORD has heard your murmurings which ye have murmured against him; and what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
9 And Moses spoke unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before the LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.
10 And it came to pass as Aaron spoke unto the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
11 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and tomorrow ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
13 ¶ And it came to pass, that in the evening quail came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew descended round about the host.
14 And when the dew ceased to descend, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
15 And when the sons of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna (What is it?): for they did not know what it was. Then Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.
16 This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for each one, according to the number of your persons; take ye each one for those who are in his tent.
17 And the sons of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less.
18 And when they did measure it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered each one according to his eating.
19 And Moses said, Let no one leave of it until the morning.
20 Notwithstanding they did not hearken unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms and stank; and Moses was angry with them.
21 And they gathered it early in the morning, each one according to his eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22 ¶ And it came to pass that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the princes of the congregation came and told Moses.
23 And he said unto them, This is what the LORD has said, Tomorrow is the holy sabbath of rest unto the LORD; bake that which ye will bake today and cook what ye will cook; and that which remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24 And they laid it up until the morning as Moses bade; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
25 And Moses said, Eat that today; for today is a sabbath unto the LORD; today ye shall not find it in the field.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
27 And it came to pass that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.
28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 See that the LORD has given you the sabbath; therefore, he gives you the bread of two days on the sixth day; abide ye every man in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32 ¶ And Moses said, This is what the LORD has commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your descendants, that they may see the bread with which I have fed you in the wilderness when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot and put an omer full of manna in it and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your descendants.
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 Thus the sons of Israel ate manna forty years until they came to a land inhabited; they ate manna until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
19 ¶ And Jesus, having entered, was passing through Jericho;
2 and, behold, a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see who Jesus was and could not for the crowd because he was small of stature.
4 And running ahead, he climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste and came down and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day saving health is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 ¶ And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable because he was near to Jerusalem and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And having called ten of his slaves, he delivered them ten minas and said unto them, Trade until I come.
14 But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 And it came to pass that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these slaves to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much each one had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy mina has gained ten minas.
17 And he said unto him, Well done, thou good slave; because thou hast been faithful in a very little, thou shalt have authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a napkin,
21 for I feared thee because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou didst not lay down and dost reap that which thou didst not sow.
22 Then he said unto him, Out of thine own mouth I will judge thee, thou wicked slave. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow;
23 why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
24 And he said unto those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give it to him that has the ten minas.
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he has ten minas.)
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one who has shall be given; and from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken away from him.
27 Moreover, those enemies of mine, who were unwilling that I should reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.
28 ¶ And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 saying, Go ye into the village over against you, in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, upon whom no one has ever sat; loose him, and bring him here.
31 And if anyone asks you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord has need of him.
32 And those that were sent went and found even as he had said unto them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 And they said, The Lord has need of him.
35 And they brought him to Jesus, and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus upon it.
36 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
37 And when he was come near, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,
38 saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that if these should be silent, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 ¶ And when he was come near, he beheld the city and wept over it,
42 saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and constrain thee on every side
44 and shall cast thee down to the ground and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 And he went into the temple and began to cast out those selling and buying therein,
46 saying unto them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the princes of the priests and the scribes and the principals of the people sought to kill him
48 and could not find what they might do, for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
34 ¶ Furthermore, Elihu answered and said,
2 Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
3 For the ear tries words, as the mouth tastes food.
4 Let us choose our judgment; let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job has said, I am righteous; and God has taken away my right.
6 In my judgment he was a liar, my arrow wound is grievous without my having committed a transgression.
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up the scorn like water?
8 Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men.
9 For he said, It shall profit a man nothing that he should conform his will with God.
10 ¶ Therefore, hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 For he shall pay man according to his work and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 Who visited the earth for him? And who set the whole world in order?
14 If he were to set his heart upon man and gather unto himself his spirit and his breath,
15 all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again unto dust.
16 ¶ If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
17 Shall even he that hates judgment govern? And wilt thou condemn the Mighty One that is righteous?
18 Is it fit to say to the king, Thou art of Belial and to the princes, Ye are ungodly?
19 How much less to him who is not a respecter of the persons of princes, nor respects the rich more than the poor; for they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment they shall die, and the peoples shall be troubled at midnight and shall pass away; and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his steps.
22 There is no darkness nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 For he will not lay upon man more than that which is just; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number and set others in their stead.
25 Therefore, he shall cause their works to be notorious, when he shall overturn them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 He shall strike them as wicked men in the open sight of others
27 because thus they turned back from him and would not consider any of his ways
28 so that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he hears the cry of the afflicted.
29 When he gives rest, who then can make trouble? If he hides his face, who then can behold him? This applies to a nation and the same to a man,
30 that the hypocrite not reign, lest the people be ensnared.
31 ¶ For it is of God to say, I have forgiven, I will no longer destroy.
32 Teach me that which I do not see; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more.
33 Will he perchance finish his work by thee; whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose, or by me? Speak what thou knowest.
34 The men of understanding will say as I say, and the wise man will hearken unto me.
35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without prudence.
36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end, that there may be answers against wicked men.
37 For he added rebellion unto his sin, he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.
4 ¶ Therefore seeing we have this ministry, according to the mercy we have received, we fault not,
2 but remove from ourselves every hidden shameful thing, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God, but in the manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel is hid, it is hid to those that are lost,
4 In whom the god of this age has blinded the understanding of those who do not believe, that the light of the gospel of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine in them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your slaves for Jesus’ sake.
6 For the God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts to bring forth the light of the knowledge of the clarity of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels that the excellency of the virtue may be of God, and not of us.
8 ¶ We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are unsure of our lives, but not in despair;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same Spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed and, therefore, I have spoken; we also believe and, therefore, speak;
14 knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise us up also by Jesus and shall present us with you.
15 For we suffer all these things for your sakes that the grace abounding through many may in the thanksgiving redound to the glory of God.
16 Therefore we fault not; but though our outward man is wearing out, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our tribulation, which is momentary and light, prepares an exceeding and eternal weight of glory unto us;
18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
