16 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children 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 children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
3 And the children of Israel said unto them, “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots 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 said the Lord unto Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may put them to the proof, whether they will walk in My law, or no.
5 And it shall come to pass that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, “At evening, then ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;
7 and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord, for He heareth 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 heareth your murmurings which ye murmur 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 children of Israel, ‘Come near before the Lord, for He hath heard your murmurings.’”
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke unto the whole congregation of the children 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 children of Israel. Speak unto them, saying, ‘At evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
13 And it came to pass that at evening the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
14 And when the dew that lay had gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoarfrost on the ground.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, “What is this?” For they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them, “This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded: ‘Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons. Take ye every man for those who are in his tents.’”
17 And the children of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less.
18 And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
19 And Moses said, “Let no man leave any of it until the morning.”
20 Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left part of it until the morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was wroth with them.
21 And they gathered it every morning, every man 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 one man; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
23 And he said unto them, “This is that which the Lord hath said: ‘Tomorrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath unto the Lord. Bake that which ye will bake today, and boil what ye will boil; and that which remaineth over lay up for yourselves 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 therein.
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 there went out some of the people 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, for the Lord hath given you the Sabbath; therefore He giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. 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 the name thereof 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 the thing which the Lord commandeth: ‘Fill an omer with it to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread wherewith 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 therein, and lay it up before the Lord to be kept for your generations.”
34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children 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 a tenth part of an ephah.
19 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus, who He was, but could not for the press of the crowd, because he was short in stature.
4 And he ran ahead and 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 had gone to be the guest of a man who was a sinner.
8 And Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore to him fourfold.”
9 And Jesus said unto him, “This day is salvation come to this house, in that 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 nigh to Jerusalem and because they thought that the Kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, ‘Make use of it till I come.’
14 But his citizens hated him and sent a message after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’
15 And it came to pass that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.’
17 And he said unto him, ‘Well done, thou good servant; because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.’
18 And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.’
19 And he said likewise to him, ‘Be thou also over five cities.’
20 And another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid away in a napkin.
21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layest not down, and reapest what thou did not sow.’
22 And he said unto him, ‘Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down and reaping what I did not sow.
23 Why then gavest not thou my money unto the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with interest?’
24 And he said unto them that stood by, ‘Take from him the pound and give it to him that hath ten pounds.’
25 (And they said unto him, ‘Lord, he hath ten pounds!’)
26 ‘For I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 But those mine enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither and slay them before me.’”
28 And when Jesus had thus spoken, He went ahead, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when He had 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 opposite you, in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat. Loose him and bring him hither.
31 And if any man ask you, ‘Why do ye loose him?’ thus shall ye say unto him, ‘Because the Lord hath need of him.’”
32 And those who were sent went their way and found even as He had said unto them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, “Why loose ye the colt?”
34 And they said, “The Lord hath need of him.”
35 And they brought him to Jesus, and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 And as He went, they spread their clothes along the way.
37 And when He had come nigh, 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 cometh 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 hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.”
41 And when He had come near, He beheld the city and wept over it,
42 saying, “If thou had known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which must be for 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 around, and keep thee in on every side.
44 And they shall lay thee even with the ground and thy children within thee; and they shalt 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 who sold therein and those who bought,
46 saying unto them, “It is written, ‘My house is the house of prayer,’ but ye have made it a den of thieves.”
47 And He taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy Him;
48 and they 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 trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
4 Let us choose for us judgment; let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job hath said, ‘I am righteous, and God hath taken away my judgment.
6 Should I lie against my right? My wound is incurable, without transgression.’
7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water,
8 who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men?
9 For he hath said, ‘It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself 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 the work of a man shall He render unto him, 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 hath given Him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?
14 If He set His heart upon man, if He gather unto Himself his Spirit and his breath,
15 all flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
16 “If now thou hast understanding, hear this; hearken to the voice of my words:
17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
18 Is it fit to say to a king, ‘Thou art wicked’? And to princes, ‘Ye are ungodly’?
19 How much less to Him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor! For they all are the work of His hands.
20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away; and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21 “For His eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth all his goings.
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 right, 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 knoweth their works, and He overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others,
27 because 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 heareth the cry of the afflicted.
29 When He giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hideth His face, who then can behold Him, whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only?—
30 that the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
31 “Surely it is meet to be said unto God, ‘I have borne chastisement; I will not offend any more.
32 That which I see not, teach Thou me; if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.’
33 Should it be according to thy mind? He will recompense it, whether thou refuse or whether thou choose, and not I; therefore speak what thou knowest.
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
35 “Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end, because of his answers for wicked men.
37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin; he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.”
4 Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy we faint not,
2 but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the Word of God deceitfully; but by manifesting the truth we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to those who are lost,
4 whose unbelieving minds the god of this world hath blinded, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, 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 being delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 We, having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written: “I believed and therefore have I 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 all things are for your sakes, that, through the thanksgiving of many, the abundant grace might redound to the glory of God.
16 For this cause we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
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.
