1 ¶ And the LORD called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tabernacle of the testimony, saying,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When any of you offers an offering unto the LORD of animals, of cattle, even of the cows, or of the sheep ye shall make your offering.
3 ¶ If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the LORD.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, and he shall accept it to reconcile him.
5 Then he shall kill the bullock before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall offer the blood and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.
7 And the sons of Aaron, the priest, shall put fire upon the altar and lay the wood in order upon the fire.
8 Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which shall be upon the altar;
9 but he shall wash its intestines and its legs in water, and the priest shall incense it all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering on fire, of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.
10 ¶ And if his offering is of the sheep, namely of the lambs or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice, he shall offer a male without blemish.
11 And he must kill it on the side of the altar, to the Aquilon before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar.
12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which shall be upon the altar;
13 and he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water; and the priest shall offer it all and incense it upon the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering on fire, of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD is to be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons.
15 And the priest shall offer it upon the altar and wring off its head and incense it on the altar; and its blood shall be wrung out upon the side of the altar:
16 And he shall pluck away its crop and its feathers and cast them beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes with the burnt fat.
17 And he shall cleave it by its wings but shall not divide it in two; and the priest shall incense it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering on fire of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.
20 ¶ The first of the sabbaths, Mary Magdalene came early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre and saw the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
4 So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the sepulchre.
5 And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet he did not go in.
6 Then came Simon Peter following him and went into the sepulchre and saw the linen clothes lying
7 and the napkin, that had been placed over his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
8 Then that other disciple, who came first to the sepulchre, went in also and he saw and believed.
9 For as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own.
11 ¶ But Mary stood outside near the sepulchre weeping, and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre
12 and saw two angels in white sitting, the one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been placed.
13 And they said unto her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She said unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there and did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus said unto her, Woman, why dost thou weep? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, said unto him, Lord, if thou didst carry him off, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus said unto her, Mary! Turning herself around, she said unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came giving the news to the disciples, That I have seen the Lord, and he spoke these things unto me.
19 ¶ Then the same day at evening, being the first of the sabbaths, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
21 Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be unto you; as my Father has sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit;
23 unto those whose sins ye release, they shall be released; and unto those whose sins ye retain, they shall be retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples, therefore, said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Unless I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 ¶ And again eight days later, his disciples were within and Thomas with them; then Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then he said to Thomas, Reach here thy finger and behold my hands and reach here thy hand and thrust it into my side and be not unbelieving, but faithful.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are those that have not seen and yet have believed.
30 And Jesus truly did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;
31 but these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.

14 ¶ To release the waters (to speak rashly) is the beginning of contention; therefore, leave off strife before it gets started.
15 ¶ He that justifies the wicked and he that condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

24 ¶ Wisdom appears upon the countenance of him that has understanding, but the eyes of a fool manifest his folly unto the ends of the earth.

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, exercise yourselves in these things.

10 ¶ But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me has flourished again, in which ye were also concerned, but ye lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want, for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content.
12 I know both how to be humbled, and I know how to have an abundance; in everything and by all things I am instructed, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
14 Notwithstanding ye have done well, that ye did communicate with my tribulation.
15 Now ye Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel when I departed from Macedonia, no congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a gift, but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
18 But I have all and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20 ¶ Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.
22 All the saints greet you, chiefly those that are of the Caesar’s household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
