16 Afterward, all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from Elim, and came to the wilderness of Sin, (which is between Elim and Sinai) on the fifteenth day of the second month, after their departure from the land of Egypt.
2 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses, and against Aaron, in the wilderness.
3 For the children of Israel said to them, “Oh, that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate bread, our bellies full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole company with famine.”
4 Then, the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will cause bread to rain from Heaven to you. And the people shall go out and gather that which is sufficient for each day, so that I may test them (whether they will walk in My law or not).
5 “But, on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they shall bring home; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”
6 Then, Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, you shall know that the LORD brought you out of the land of Egypt.
7 “And in the morning, you shall see the Glory of the LORD. For He has heard your complaints against the LORD. And what are we, that you have murmured against us?”
8 Again, Moses said, “At evening, the LORD shall give you meat to eat, and in the morning your fill of bread. For the LORD has heard your murmurings which you murmur against Him. For what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.”
9 And Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the Congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Draw near before the LORD. For He has heard your murmurings.’”
10 Now, as Aaron spoke to the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness. And behold, the Glory of the LORD appeared in a cloud.
11 (For the LORD had spoken to Moses, saying,
12 “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Therefore, tell them and say, ‘At evening you shall eat meat; and in the morning you shall be filled with bread.’ And you shall know that I am the LORD your God).
13 And so, at evening, the quails came and covered the camp. And in the morning, the dew lay all around the camp.
14 And when the dew that had fallen had lifted, behold, a small round flakey thing was upon the face of the wilderness, small as the frost upon the earth.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.
16 “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: Every man gather from it according to his need (an omer per man, according to the number of your people). Every man shall take for those who are in his tent.”
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 And when they measured it with an omer, he who had gathered much, had nothing left over. And he who had gathered little, had no lack. So, every man gathered according to his eating.
19 Then Moses said to them, “Let no man save it until morning.”
20 Nevertheless, they did not obey Moses. But some of them saved it until morning. And it was full of worms and stank. Therefore, Moses was angry with them.
21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating. For when the heat of the Sun came, it melted.
22 And on the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread (two omers per man). Then, all the rulers of the Congregation came and told Moses.
23 And he answered them, “This is that which the LORD has said, ‘Tomorrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake that which you will bake today, and boil that which you will boil; and lay up all that remains, to be kept for yourself until morning.’”
24 And they laid it up until the morning, as Moses instructed. And it did not stink, nor was there any worm in it.
25 Then Moses said, “Eat that today. For today is the Sabbath to the LORD. Today, you shall not find it in the field.
26 “Six days you shall gather it; but the seventh day is the Sabbath. On it, there shall be none.”
27 Nevertheless, some of the people went out to gather on the seventh day; and they found none.
28 And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My Commandments, and My Laws?
29 “Behold, how the LORD has given you the Sabbath. Therefore, on the sixth day, He gives you bread for two days. Therefore, every man should remain 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 of it “manna”. And it was like white coriander seed. And the taste of it was like wafers with honey.
32 And Moses said, “This is that which the LORD had commanded, ‘Fill an omer of it to keep for your posterity; so that they may see the bread with which I have fed you in wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
33 Moses also said to Aaron, “Take a pot and put an omer-full of manna in it; and set it before the LORD, to be kept for your posterity.”
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 for forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 (An omer is one tenth of an ephah).
19 Now when Jesus entered and passed through Jericho,
2 behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief receiver of the tribute. And he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus (who He was) and could not because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
4 Therefore he ran ahead and climbed up into a wild fig tree, so that he might see Him. For He would be coming that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus! Come down at once! For today I must stay at your house!”
6 Then he quickly came down and received Him joyfully.
7 And when they all saw it, they murmured, saying that He had gone to lodge with a sinful man.
8 But Zacchaeus, standing, said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have taken from anyone by false accusation, I restore it to him fourfold.”
9 Then Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house! Because he has also become the son of Abraham!
10 “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save those who have been lost.”
11 And while they heard these things, He continued and spoke a parable (because He was near Jerusalem, and also because they thought that the Kingdom of God would shortly appear).
12 Therefore, He said, “A certain nobleman went into a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself and then to return.
13 “And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business until I come.’
14 “Now, his citizens hated him, and sent ambassadors after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man reign over us!’
15 “And it happened that when he had returned (and had received his kingdom) he commanded the servants to whom he had given his money be called to him, so that he might know what each had gained.
16 “Then the first came, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has increased to ten minas.’
17 “And he said to him, ‘Well, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little thing, take authority over ten cities!’
18 “And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has increased to five minas.’
19 “And to this one he said, ‘And you rule over five cities!’
20 “So the other came, and said, ‘Lord, behold your mina, which I have put away in a handkerchief.
21 ‘For I feared you because you are an exacting man. You take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.’
22 “Then he said to him, ‘From your own mouth will I judge you, O evil servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow.
23 ‘Why, then, did you not give my money to the bank, so that I might have required it with interest when I came?’
24 “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to him who has ten minas!’
25 “And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas.’
26 ‘For I say to you that to all those who have, it shall be given. And from the one who has not, even that he has shall be taken from him.
27 ‘Moreover, bring my enemies here who do not wish to have me reign over them and kill them before me!’”
28 And when He had said this, He went on ahead, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 And it happened that when He had come near Bethphage and Bethany (next to the mountain called the “Mount of Olives”), He sent two of his disciples,
30 saying, “Go to the town before you, in which (as soon as you have entered) you shall find a colt, tied, whereupon no man ever sat. Untie it and bring it.
31 “And if anyone asks you why you have untied it, you shall say this to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’”
32 So those who were sent went their way and found it as he had said to them.
33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?!”
34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.”
35 So they brought it to Jesus. And they cast their garments on the colt and sat Jesus upon it.
36 And as He went, they spread their clothes along the way.
37 And when He had now come near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great works that they had seen,
38 saying, “Blessed is the King Who comes in the Name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven! And Glory in the highest places!”
39 Then some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Master, rebuke Your disciples.”
40 But He answered, and said to them, “I tell you that if these should be silent, the stones would cry.”
41 And when He had come near, He looked at the city and wept for it,
42 saying, “O, if you had known (even at the least, and on this your day) those things which belong to your peace! But now are they hidden from your eyes.
43 “For the days shall come upon you that your enemies will cast a rampart around you, and surround you, and trap you on every side,
44 “And shall make you even with the ground (and your children who are in you). And they shall not leave a stone upon a stone within you. Because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
45 He also went into the Temple and began to cast out those inside who sold and bought,
46 saying to them, “It is written! ‘My house is the house of prayer!’ But you have made it a den of thieves!”
47 And He taught daily in the Temple. And the chief priests and the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy Him.
48 But they could not find what they might do to Him. For all the people hung upon Him when they heard Him.
34 Moreover Elihu answered and said,
2 “Hear my words, you wise men. And listen to me, you who have knowledge.
3 “For the ear tests the words, as the mouth tastes food.
4 “Let us seek judgment among us. And let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 “For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, and God has taken away my judgment.
6 Should I lie regarding my right? My wound of the arrow is grievous, though without my sin.
7 “What man is like Job, who drinks scornfulness like water,
8 “who goes in the company of those who work iniquity, and walks with wicked men?
9 “For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should walk with God.’
10 “Therefore, listen to me, you men of wisdom. Far be it from God to do wickedness, or that there is iniquity in the Almighty.
11 “For He will render to man according to his work, and cause everyone to find it according to his way.
12 “And certainly God will not do wickedly. Nor will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 “Whom has He appointed over the Earth besides Himself? Or who has made the whole world?
14 “If He sets His Heart upon it, and gathers to Himself His Spirit and His breath,
15 “all flesh shall perish together, and man shall return to dust.
16 “And if you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
17 “Shall he who hates judgment, govern? And will you judge Him wicked Who is most just?
18 “Will you say to a king, ‘You are wicked,’ or to princes, ‘You are ungodly?’
19 “How much less to Him Who does not accept the persons of princes or regard the rich more than the poor? For they are all the work of His Hands.
20 “They shall die suddenly. And the people shall be troubled at midnight. And they shall pass forth and take away the mighty without power.
21 “For His Eyes are upon the ways of man, and He sees all his goings.
22 “There is no darkness or shadow of death, in which the workers of iniquity might be hidden.
23 “For He will not lay on man so much that he would enter into judgment with God.
24 “He shall break the mighty without seeking and shall set up others in their place.
25 “Therefore, He shall declare their works. He shall turn the night, and they shall be destroyed.
26 “He strikes them as wicked men, in the places of the seers,
27 “because they have turned back from Him, and would not consider all His ways,
28 “so that they have caused the voice of the poor to come to Him. And He has heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 “And when He gives quietness, who can make trouble? And when He hides His Face, who can behold Him, whether upon nations or upon a single man,
30 “so that the hypocrite does not reign and ensnare the people.
31 “Surely it is like God to say, ‘I have pardoned, I will not destroy.’
32 “So, if I do not see, teach me. If I have done wickedly, I will do no more.
33 “Yet, will He perform the thing through you simply because you have reproved it? You must choose, and not me. Therefore, say what you know.
34 “Let men of understanding tell me. And let a wise man listen to me.
35 “Job has not spoken of knowledge, nor were his words according to wisdom.
36 “I desire that Job may be tested to the utmost, because his answers are for wicked men!
37 “For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
4 Therefore, seeing that we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not faint.
2 But we have cast from us the cloaks of shame, and do not walk in craftiness, nor handle the Word of God deceitfully. But in declaration of the truth, we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 If the Gospel is then hidden, it is hidden to those who are lost,
4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving; that the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, which is the image of God, should not shine unto them.
5 For we do not preach 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, has 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 so that the excellency of that power might be of God, and not of us.
8 We are afflicted on every side, yet we are not in distress. We are in doubt, but yet we do not despair;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but we do not perish.
10 Everywhere we carry about in our body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our bodies.
11 For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then, death works in us, and life in you.
13 And because we have the same spirit of faith, as it is written, “I believed, and therefore I have spoken”, we also believe, and therefore speak,
14 knowing that He Who has raised up the Lord Jesus, shall also raise us up by Jesus, and shall set us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, so that that superabundant grace by the thanksgiving of many, may increase to the praise of God.
16 Therefore, we do not faint. But though our outward man perishes, yet the inward man is renewed daily.
17 For our light affliction, which is only for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
18 While we look, not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary. But the things which are not seen are eternal.
