39 ¶ And of the blue and purple and scarlet, they made the clothing of the ministry, to minister in the sanctuary, and in the same manner they made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
2 He also made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 And they beat the gold into thin plates and cut it into wires to work it in the blue and in the purple and in the scarlet and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
4 They made the shoulder pieces for it to couple it together; by the two edges was it coupled together.
5 And the special girdle of his ephod, that was over it, was of the same, according to the work thereof: of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen as the LORD had commanded Moses.
6 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in settings of gold, graven, as seals are graven, with the names of the sons of Israel.
7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod that they should be stones for a memorial to the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
8 He also made the pectoral of cunning work, like the work of the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 It was square; they made the pectoral double; a span was the length thereof and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10 And they set in it four orders of stones. The order was a ruby, an emerald, and a chrysolite: this was the first order.
11 The second order, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 The third order, a topaz, a turquoise, and an amethyst.
13 And the fourth order, a tarshish (or beryl), an onyx, and a jasper; they were set and inclosed in their settings of gold.
14 The stones were in agreement with the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, in agreement with their names, like the engravings of a seal, each one in agreement with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
15 They also made the small chains upon the pectoral of wreathen work of pure gold.
16 In the same manner they made two settings of gold and two gold rings and put the two rings in the two ends of the pectoral.
17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in those two rings on the ends of the pectoral.
18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two settings, which they put on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front part of it.
19 And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the pectoral upon the border of it, which was on the lower side of the ephod.
20 And they made two other golden rings and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath toward the front part of it, in the front of its coupling, above the special girdle of the ephod.
21 And they bound the pectoral by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue lace, that it might be above the special girdle of the ephod and that the pectoral might not be loosed from the ephod, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue,
23 with its collar in the midst of the robe, as the collar of a habergeon, with a band round about the collar that it should not rend.
24 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen.
25 They also made the bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in, as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 And they made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron and for his sons,
28 likewise the mitre of fine linen and the decorations of the tiaras of fine linen and the linen underwear of fine twined linen,
29 also the girdle of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet of needlework, as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 And they made the open flower, the crown of holiness, of pure gold and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a seal, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD.
31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue to fasten it over the mitre, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
32 ¶ Thus was all the work of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony finished, and the sons of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so did they.
33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tabernacle and all its furniture, its hooks, its boards, its bars and its pillars and its sockets,
34 and the covering of rams’ skins dyed red and the covering of badgers’ skins and the veil of the curtain,
35 the ark of the testimony and its staves, and the seat of reconciliation,
36 the table and all its vessels, and the showbread,
37 the pure lampstand with its lamps, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all its vessels and the oil for light,
38 the golden altar and the anointing oil and the aromatic incense and the hanging for the tabernacle door.
39 The brasen altar with its grate of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, and the laver and its base.
40 The hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, its cords and its stakes, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tabernacle of the testimony,
41 the clothing of service for ministry in the sanctuary, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and his sons’ garments, to minister in the priesthood.
42 According to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel made all the work.
43 And Moses looked upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it; and Moses blessed them.
18 ¶ When Jesus had spoken these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.
2 And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus gathered there often with his disciples.
3 Judas then, taking a company of soldiers and ministers of the high priests and of the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said unto them, I AM. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
6 And when he said unto them, I AM, they went backward and fell to the ground.
7 Then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I AM; if, therefore, ye seek me, let these go away,
9 that the word might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of those whom thou gavest me I have lost none.
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the high priest’s slave and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus.
11 Then Jesus said unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath; the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Then the company of soldiers and the tribune and the ministers of the Jews took Jesus and bound him
13 ¶ and led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest of that year and he sent him bound unto Caiaphas, the high priest.
14 Now Caiaphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple; that disciple was known unto the high priest and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then that other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spoke unto her that kept the door and brought in Peter.
17 Then the damsel that kept the door said unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He said, I am not.
18 And the slaves and servants stood there, who had made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves; and Peter stood with them and warmed himself.
19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews gather; and I have said nothing in secret.
21 Why dost thou ask me? Ask those who heard me what I have said unto them; behold, they know what I said.
22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the servants who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil, but if well, why dost thou smite me?
24 Thus Annas sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it and said, I am not.
26 One of the slaves of the high priest, kinsman of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peter then denied again, and immediately the cock crew.
28 ¶ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment, and it was early; and they themselves did not go into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the passover.
29 Pilate then went out unto them and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
31 Then Pilate said unto them, Take him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death;
32 that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again and called Jesus and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it unto thee of me?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me; what hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; now, therefore, my kingdom is not from here.
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I AM king. To this end I was born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
38 Pilate said unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them, I find no fault at all in him.
39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

8 ¶ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 ¶ The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD, but he loves him that follows after righteousness.
10 ¶ Chastening is grievous unto him that forsakes the way, but he that hates reproof shall die.
11 ¶ Sheol and hell are before the LORD; how much more then the hearts of men?

14 ¶ The heart of him that has understanding seeks wisdom, but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15 ¶ All the days of the poor are difficult, but he that is of a good heart has a continual feast.

2 ¶ Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same charity, unanimous, minding the one thing.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in humility let each esteem others better than themselves,
4 with each one not looking to their own things, but also to the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God,
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, made in the likeness of men,
8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. {Gr. stauros – stake}
9 Therefore, God also has highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth,
11 and that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is Lord in the glory of God the Father.
12 ¶ Therefore, my beloved, as ye have always hearkened, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own saving health with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 ¶ Do all things without murmurings and doubts,
15 that ye may be blameless and innocent, children of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world,
16 holding fast the word of life, that I may glory in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
17 And even if I am poured out as an offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause ye also have joy and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort when I know your state.
20 For I have no one likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But ye know the proof of him, that as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.
23 Therefore, I hope to send him presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and companion in labour and fellowsoldier, but your messenger and he that ministered to my needs.
26 For he longed after you all and was full of heaviness, because ye had heard that he had been sick
27 For indeed he was sick near unto death, but God had mercy on him and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 I sent him, therefore, the more carefully, that when ye see him again, ye may rejoice and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness and esteem such
30 because for the work of the Christ he was near unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
