27 ¶ Thou shalt also make an altar of cedar wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare, and its height shall be three cubits.
2 And thou shalt make the horns of it upon its four corners; its horns shall be of the same, and thou shalt cover it with brass.
3 And thou shalt make its pans to receive the ashes with its burnt fat, and its shovels and its basins and its fleshhooks and its firepans; all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass.
4 And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof.
5 And thou shalt put it under the circumference of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.
6 Thou shalt also make staves for the altar, staves of cedar wood, and cover them with brass.
7 And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it.
8 Hollow with boards shalt thou make it; as it was showed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
9 ¶ In the same manner thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle; to the side of the Negev to the south there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of one hundred cubits long for each side;
10 and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the capitals of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.
11 And likewise for the side of the Aquilon in length there shall be hangings of one hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars with their twenty sockets of brass, the capitals of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
12 And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.
13 And the breadth of the court on the side of the rising sun to the east shall be fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And on the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 And at the gate of the court there shall be a hanging of twenty cubits of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework; and their pillars shall be four and their sockets four.
17 All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their capitals shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass.
18 The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits and the breadth fifty on the one side and fifty on the other and the height five cubits, its hangings of fine twined linen and their sockets of brass.
19 All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof and all the stakes thereof and all the stakes of the court, shall be of brass.
20 ¶ And thou shalt command the sons of Israel that they bring thee olive oil, clear, crushed, for the light, to cause the lamps to burn always.
21 In the tabernacle of the testimony outside the veil, which shall be before the ark of the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order them from evening to morning before the LORD; it shall be a perpetual statute of the sons of Israel for their generations.
6 ¶ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him because they saw his signs which he did on the sick.
3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
4 And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
5 Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and saw a great company come unto him; he said unto Philip, From where shall we buy bread that these may eat?
6 But he said this to prove him, for he knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred denarius of bread is not sufficient for them, that each one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said unto him,
9 There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves and two small fishes, but what are they among so many?
10 Then Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples and the disciples to those that were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they desired.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over from those that had eaten.
14 Then those men, as they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth the prophet that was to come into the world.
15 ¶ Jesus therefore knowing that they would come and take him by force to make him king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16 And when evening was come, his disciples went down unto the sea
17 and entered into a ship and were crossing the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea and drawing nigh unto the ship, and they were afraid.
20 But he said unto them, I AM; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship, and immediately the ship was at the land where they went.
22 ¶ The day following when the multitude which was on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except the one in which his disciples had entered and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone
23 (but other boats came from Tiberias near unto the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks);
24 when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also entered into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when didst thou come here?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye have seen the signs, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled.
27 Labour not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you, for him has God the Father sealed.
28 ¶ Then they said unto him, What shall we do that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe in him whom he has sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert, as it is written, He gave them of the bread from the heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from the heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from the heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he who descended from heaven and gives life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, always give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I AM the bread of life; he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes in me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That even though ye have seen me, ye do not believe.
37 All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and he that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from the heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father’s will who has sent me, that of all whom he has given me I should lose nothing but should raise it up again in the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured of him because he said, I AM the bread which descended from the heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he says, I descended from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who has sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard from the Father and has learned comes unto me.
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes in me has eternal life.
48 I AM the bread of life.
49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness and are dead.
50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
51 I AM the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, they shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How is he able to give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye shall have no life in you.
54 Whosoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eats me, he shall also live by me.
58 This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate manna and are dead; he that eats of this bread shall live eternally.
59 He said these things in the synagogue as he taught in Capernaum.
60 ¶ Many therefore of his disciples when they had heard this said, This is a hard word; who can hear it?
61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said unto them, Does this offend you?
62 What if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 The Spirit is he that gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken unto you, they are Spirit and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore I said unto you that no one can come unto me unless it is given unto them of my Father.
66 After this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
67 Then Jesus said unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and know that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon, for it was he that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
3 ¶ My son, forget not my law, but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For they shall add length of days and long life and peace unto thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck; write them upon the tablet of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find grace and good favour in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 ¶ Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil.
8 It shall be medicine to thy navel and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For the LORD chastens whom he loves and delights in, even as a father to his son.
13 ¶ Blessed is the man that has found wisdom and who brings to light intelligence,
14 for the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver and the fruits thereof more than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than precious stones, and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those that lay hold upon her, and blessed is every one that retains her.
19 The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth; by intelligence has he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the heavens drop down the dew.
21 ¶ My son, do not let them depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 so shall they be life unto thy soul and grace to thy neck.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 Thou shall not be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked when it comes.
26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27 ¶ Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Do not say unto thy neighbour, Go and come again and tomorrow I will give when thou hast it by thee.
29 Do not devise evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwells securely by thee.
30 Do not sue a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor and choose none of his ways.
32 For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD; but his secret is with the righteous.
33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked, but he shall bless the habitation of the just.
34 Surely he scorns the scorners; but he gives grace unto the humble.
35 The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
2 ¶ Then fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas and took Titus with me also.
2 But I went up by revelation and communicated unto them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who seemed to be of repute, to not run, or have run, in vain.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised,
4 And that in spite of the false brethren, who entered secretly to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus that they might bring us into bondage;
5 Unto whom we did not submit even for one hour that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.
6 But of these who seemed to be of repute, (whatever they were, it makes no matter to me: God does not accept the appearance of men), for those who seemed to be of repute in conference added nothing to me;
7 But to the contrary, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter
8 (for he that showed himself forth in Peter for apostleship of the circumcision, the same also showed himself forth in me toward the Gentiles);
9 and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision.
10 Only they asked that we should remember the poor; the same which I was also diligent to do.
11 ¶ But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face because he was to be blamed.
12 For before certain ones came from James, he ate with the Gentiles, but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him, insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, dost live after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of our sin? No, in no wise.
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a rebel.
19 For through the law I am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 I do not reject the grace of God, for if righteousness comes by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
