19 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the Wilderness of Sinai.
2 For they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the desert of Sinai and had pitched camp in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 ‘Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you unto Myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.
6 And ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.”
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord hath spoken we will do.” And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
9 And the Lord said unto Moses, “Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever.” And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses, “Go unto the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes
11 and be ready against the third day; for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount or touch the border of it. Whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death.
13 There shall not a hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live.’ When the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.”
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said unto the people, “Be ready against the third day. Come not at your wives.”
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 And Mount Sinai was altogether in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long and waxed louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20 And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mount; and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount, and Moses went up.
21 And the Lord said unto Moses, “Go down. Charge the people, lest they break through to gaze unto the Lord, and many of them perish.
22 And let the priests also, who come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them.”
23 And Moses said unto the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for Thou charged us, saying, ‘Set bounds about the mount and sanctify it.’”
24 And the Lord said unto him, “Away! Get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou and Aaron with thee; but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the Lord, lest He break forth upon them.”
25 So Moses went down unto the people and spoke unto them.
22 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.
3 Then entered Satan into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, being one of the twelve.
4 And he went his way and communed with the chief priests and captains how he might betray Him unto them.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray Him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread when the Passover lamb must be killed.
8 And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat.”
9 And they said unto Him, “Where wilt Thou have us prepare?”
10 And He said unto them, “Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 And ye shall say unto the master of the house, ‘The Master saith unto thee, “Where is the guestchamber where I shall eat the Passover with My disciples?”’
12 And he shall show you a large upper room furnished. There make ready.”
13 And they went and found as He had said unto them. And they made ready the Passover.
14 And when the hour had come, He sat down and the twelve apostles with Him.
15 And He said unto them, “With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
16 for I say unto you, I will not anymore eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
17 And He took the cup, and gave thanks and said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves;
18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God shall come.”
19 And He took bread, and gave thanks and broke it and gave it unto them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.”
20 Likewise also He took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you.
21 But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth Me is with Me on the table.
22 And truly the Son of Man goeth as it was determined; but woe unto that man by whom He is betrayed!”
23 And they began to inquire among themselves which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 And there was also a contention among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 And He said unto them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’
26 But ye shall not be so; but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27 For who is greater, he that sitteth at meat or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at meat? But I am among you as He that serveth.
28 “Ye are they that have continued with Me in My temptations.
29 And I appoint unto you a Kingdom, as My Father hath appointed unto Me,
30 that ye may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31 And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.”
33 And Peter said unto Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with Thee, both into prison and to death.”
34 And He said, “I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day before thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest Me.”
35 And He said unto them, “When I sent you without purse and pack and shoes, lacked ye anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”
36 Then said He unto them, “But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it and likewise his pack; and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.
37 For I say unto you that this that is written must yet be accomplished in Me: ‘And He was reckoned among the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.”
38 And they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” And He said unto them, “It is enough.”
39 And He came out and went, as He was wont, to the Mount of Olives; and His disciples also followed Him.
40 And when He was at the place, He said unto them, “Pray that ye enter not into temptation.”
41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down and prayed,
42 saying, “Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Thine be done.”
43 And there appeared an angel unto Him from Heaven, strengthening Him.
44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was, as it were, great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45 And when He rose up from prayer and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow.
46 And He said unto them, “Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.”
47 And while He yet spoke, behold, a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near unto Jesus to kiss Him.
48 But Jesus said unto him, “Judas, betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 When those who were about Him saw what would follow, they said unto Him, “Lord, shall we smite with the sword?”
50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answered and said, “Suffer ye thus far.” And He touched his ear and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests and captains of the temple and the elders, who had come to Him, “Have ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staves?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against Me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
54 Then they took Him and led Him, and brought Him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.
55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall and had sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him and said, “This man was also with him.”
57 And he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I know Him not.”
58 And after a little while another saw him and said, “Thou art also of them.” And Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59 And after the space of about an hour, another confidently affirmed, saying, “In truth this fellow also was with him, for he is a Galilean.”
60 And Peter said, “Man, I know not what thou sayest!” And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crowed.
61 And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, “Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice.”
62 And Peter went out and wept bitterly.
63 And the men who held Jesus mocked Him and smote Him.
64 And when they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is it that smote thee?”
65 And many other things they spoke blasphemously against Him.
66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led Him into their council, saying,
67 “Art thou the Christ? Tell us.” And He said unto them, “If I tell you, ye will not believe.
68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer Me nor let Me go.
69 Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God.”
70 Then said they all, “Art thou then the Son of God?” And He said unto them, “Ye say that I am.”
71 And they said, “What need we any further witness? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.”
37 “At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
2 Hear attentively the noise of His voice, and the sound that goeth out of His mouth.
3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and His lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, and He will not stay them when His voice is heard.
5 God thundereth marvelously with His voice; great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend!
6 For He saith to the snow, ‘Be thou on the earth’; likewise to the small rain and to the great rain of His strength.
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man, that all men may know His work.
8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind, and cold out of the north.
10 By the breath of God frost is given, and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Also by watering He wearieth the thick cloud; He scattereth His bright cloud,
12 and it is turned round about by His counsels, that they may do whatsoever He commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13 He causeth it to come—whether for correction, or for His land, or for mercy.
14 “Hearken unto this, O Job; stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of His cloud to shine?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 How thy garments are warm, when He quieteth the earth by the south wind?
18 Hast thou with Him spread out the sky, which is strong and as a molten looking glass?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto Him, for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
20 Shall it be told Him that I speak? If a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds, but the wind passeth and cleanseth them.
22 Fair weather cometh out of the north; with God is fearsome majesty.
23 Concerning the Almighty, we cannot find Him out; He is excellent in power and in judgment, and abounding in justice; He will not afflict.
24 Men do therefore fear Him; He respecteth not any that are wise of heart.”
7 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Receive us: we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
3 I speak this not to condemn you, for I have said before that ye are in our hearts, to die and live with you.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you; great is my glorying of you. I am filled with comfort; I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation.
5 For when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side: without were fightings, within were fears.
6 Nevertheless God, who comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
7 and not by his coming only, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me, so that I rejoiced the more.
8 For though I caused you sorrow with a letter, I do not now repent, though I did repent; for I perceive that the same epistle hath caused you sorrow, though it were but for a season.
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorrowful, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For ye were made sorrowful in a godly manner, that ye might receive injury from us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow is not to be repented of, but worketh repentance unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, when ye sorrowed in a godly manner: what earnest concern it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what requital! In all these things ye have proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
12 Therefore, though I wrote unto you, I did not do so for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for his sake who suffered wrong, but that our concern for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort. Yea, we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14 For if I have boasted anything to him of you, I am not ashamed, but as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found to be true.
15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
