25 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel that they bring me an offering; of every man that gives it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
3 And this shall be the offering which ye shall take of them: gold and silver and brass
4 and blue and purple and scarlet and fine linen and goats’ hair
5 and rams’ skins dyed red and badgers’ skins and cedar wood,
6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,
7 onyx stones and stones to be set in the ephod and in the pectoral.
8 And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
9 According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its vessels, even so shall ye make it.
10 ¶ And they shall make an ark of cedar wood; two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
11 And thou shalt cover it with pure gold; within and without shalt thou cover it and shalt make upon it a moulding of gold round about.
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it and put them in the four corners thereof, and two rings shall be in the one side of it and two rings in the other side of it.
13 And thou shalt make staves of cedar wood and overlay them with gold.
14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.
16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
17 And thou shalt make a seat of reconciliation of pure gold; two cubits and a half shall be its length and a cubit and a half its breadth.
18 And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the seat of reconciliation.
19 And make one cherub on the one end and the other cherub on the other end: even of the seat of reconciliation shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
20 And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the seat of reconciliation with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the seat of reconciliation shall the faces of the cherubim be.
21 And thou shalt put the seat of reconciliation above upon the ark, and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will speak with thee from above the seat of reconciliation, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the sons of Israel.
23 ¶ Thou shalt likewise make a table of cedar wood; two cubits shall be its length and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
24 And thou shalt cover it with pure gold and make a moulding of gold round about it.
25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden moulding to its border round about.
26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
28 And thou shalt make the staves of cedar wood and cover them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof and spoons thereof and covers thereof and bowls thereof to cover the bread; of pure gold shalt thou make them.
30 And thou shalt set the showbread upon the table before me always.
31 ¶ And thou shalt make a lampstand of pure gold; of beaten work shall the lampstand be made; its base and its branches, its bowls, its knops, and its flowers shall be of the same.
32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it, three branches of the lampstand out of the one side and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side,
33 three bowls made like unto almonds with a knop and a flower in one branch, and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch with a knop and a flower; thus in the six branches that come out of the lampstand.
34 And in the lampstand shall be four bowls made like unto almonds with their knops and their flowers.
35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and another knop under two branches of the same, and another knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the lampstand.
36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same; all of it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37 And thou shalt make its seven lamps; and they shall light its lamps, that they may give light over against it.
38 And its tongs, and its snuffdishes, shall be of pure gold.
39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was showed thee in the mount.
4 ¶ When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John
2 (though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
3 he left Judaea and departed again into Galilee.
4 ¶ And it was necessary that he go through Samaria.
5 Then he came to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus, therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well; and it was about the sixth hour.
7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water; Jesus said unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy food.)
9 Then said the Samaritan woman unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman said unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; from where then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof himself, and his sons and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again,
14 but whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.
15 The woman said unto him, Lord, give me this water, that I not thirst, neither come here to draw.
16 Jesus said unto her, Go, call thy husband and come here.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband;
18 for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said with truth.
19 The woman said unto him, Lord, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.
21 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem shall ye worship the Father.
22 Ye worship what ye know not; we worship what we know, for saving health is of the Jews.
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman said unto him, I know that the Messiah is to come, who is called the Christ; when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.
26 Jesus said unto her, I AM that speak unto thee.
27 ¶ And upon this came his disciples and marvelled that he talked with that woman; yet no one said, What askest thou? or, What talkest thou with her?
28 The woman then left her waterpot and went into the city and said to those men,
29 Come, see a man who told me all that I have done; is perchance this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city and came unto him.
31 In the meanwhile his disciples entreated him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have a food to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has anyone brought him anything to eat?
34 Jesus said unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.
35 Do ye not say, There are yet four months and then comes harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto eternal life, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One sows and another reaps.
38 I have sent you to reap that upon which ye bestowed no labour; others laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him by the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all that I have done.
40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they asked him to abide with them; and he abode there two days.
41 And many more believed by his own word
42 and said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speech; for we have heard him ourselves and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 ¶ Now after two days he departed from that place and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had also gone to the feast.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
48 Then Jesus said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman said unto him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
50 Jesus said unto him, Go; thy son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke unto him, and he went.
51 And as he was now going down, his slaves met him and told him, saying, Thy son lives.
52 Then he enquired of them the hour when he began to get better. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son lives; and he believed, and his whole house.
54 This again is the second sign that Jesus did when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
1 ¶ The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel;
2 to know wisdom and chastening; to understand prudent words;
3 to receive the chastening of prudence, justice, judgment, and equity;
4 to give prudence to the simple, and to the young men knowledge and council.
5 If the wise will hear them, doctrine shall increase, and the man of understanding shall acquire wise counsel:
6 To understand a parable and the interpretation; the words of the wise and their enigmas.
7 ¶ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and chastening.
8 My son, hearken unto the chastening of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9 For they shall be an increase of grace unto thy head and protection about thy neck.
10 ¶ My son, if sinners entice thee, do not consent.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without cause.
12 Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol and whole as those that go down into the pit;
13 We shall find all kinds of riches, we shall fill our houses with spoil.
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 My son, do not walk in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet shall run to evil and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay in wait for their own blood; they ambush their own souls.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain which takes away the life of those who possess it.
20 ¶ Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the entrance to the gates of the city she utters her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and the fools hate knowledge?
23 Return at my reproof; behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one responded;
25 for because ye have disregarded all my counsel and rejected my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes upon you;
27 when what you have feared comes as destruction, and your calamity comes as a whirlwind; when tribulation and anguish come upon you.
28 Then they shall call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They rejected my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own counsel.
32 For the rest of the ignorant shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whosoever hearkens unto me shall dwell safely and shall rest from the fear of evil.
13 ¶ This third time I am coming unto you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2 I told you before and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now, I write to those who until now have sinned and to all others that, if I come again, I will not spare,
3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who unto you is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. By which we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God in you.
5 Examine yourselves whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Do ye not know your own selves if Jesus Christ is in you? Unless ye are reprobates.
6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7 ¶ Now I pray to God that ye do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is good, though we be as reprobates.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9 By which we are glad that we are weak and ye are strong, and even so we pray for your perfection.
10 Therefore I write these things being absent lest being present I should treat you with more severity, according to the power which the Lord has given me for edification, and not for destruction.
11 ¶ For the rest, brethren, that ye may have joy, be perfected, have consolation, be of one mind, having peace; and the God of peace and charity shall be with you.
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
13 All the saints salute you.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the charity of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
