Old/New Testament
29 ¶ And this is what thou shalt do unto them to sanctify them that they shall be my priests: Take one young bullock and two perfect rams
2 and unleavened bread and unleavened cakes tempered with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, which thou shalt make of wheat flour.
3 And thou shalt put them into a basket and offer them in the basket with the bullock and the two rams.
4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony and shalt wash them with water.
5 And thou shalt take the garments and clothe Aaron with the coat and the robe of the ephod and the ephod and the pectoral and gird him with the special girdle of the ephod;
6 and thou shalt put the mitre upon his head and put the crown of holiness upon the mitre.
7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil and pour it upon his head and anoint him.
8 And thou shalt bring his sons and put coats upon them.
9 And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and bind the tiaras on them; and the priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute; and thou shalt fill the hands Aaron and his sons.
10 And thou shalt cause the bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the testimony, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.
11 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD by the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger and pour all the remaining blood beside the bottom of the altar.
13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covers the intestines and the caul that is above the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is upon them and burn them upon the altar.
14 But the flesh of the bullock and his skin and his dung shalt thou burn with fire outside the camp; it is sin.
15 Thou shalt likewise take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces and wash his intestines and his legs and put them upon his pieces and upon his head.
18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering on fire unto the LORD.
19 And thou shalt take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
20 Then shalt thou kill the ram and take of his blood and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and upon the tip of the right ears of his sons and upon the thumb of their right hands and upon the great toe of their right feet and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
21 And thou shalt take of the blood that shall be upon the altar and of the anointing oil and sprinkle it upon Aaron and upon his garments and upon his sons and upon their garments, and he shall be sanctified, and his garments and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.
22 Then thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the tail and the fat that covers the intestines and the caul above the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is upon them and the right shoulder, for it is a ram of consecrations,
23 Also one large loaf of bread and one cake of oiled bread and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD;
24 and thou shalt put all this in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons and shalt lift them up and wave them before the LORD.
25 Then thou shalt take them from their hands and burn them upon the altar upon the burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD. It is an offering on fire unto the LORD.
26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of the consecrations, which is of Aaron and wave it for a waved offering before the LORD; and it shall be thy part.
27 And thou shalt set apart the breast of the waved offering and the shoulder of the sanctification, that which was waved and that which was sanctified of the ram of the consecrations of Aaron and of his sons;
28 and it shall be for Aaron and for his sons by a perpetual statute of the sons of Israel, for it is something set apart, and it shall be set apart of the sons of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings; it shall be something of theirs set apart unto the LORD.
29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed with them and to be consecrated with them.
30 And for seven days the priest of his sons, who in his stead shall come into the tabernacle of the testimony, shall put them on to serve in the sanctuary.
31 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecrations and cook his flesh in the holy place.
32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket by the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
33 And they shall eat those things with which they were reconciled, to fill their hands to be sanctified; but a stranger shall not eat thereof because they are holiness.
34 And if any of the flesh of the consecrations or of the bread remains unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, because it is holiness.
35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron and to his sons, according to all the things which I have commanded thee; for seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
36 And thou shalt sacrifice a bullock every day for reconciliation of sin; and thou shalt remove the sin from the altar, and thou shalt anoint it to sanctify it.
37 For seven days thou shalt reconcile the altar and sanctify it; and it shall be a most holy altar; whatever touches the altar shall be made holy.
38 ¶ Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs of the first year every day continually.
39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shalt offer at evening.
40 Moreover a tenth ephah of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil and the fourth part of a hin of wine with each lamb.
41 And thou shalt offer the other lamb at evening, doing according to the present of the morning and according to its drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering on fire unto the LORD.
42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your ages at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the LORD, where I will concert with you, to speak there unto you.
43 And there I will testify of myself unto the sons of Israel, and the place shall be sanctified with my glory.
44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar; I will likewise sanctify both Aaron and his sons that they may be my priests.
45 And I will dwell among the sons of Israel and shall be their God.
46 And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them; I am the LORD your God.
30 ¶ In the same manner thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon; of cedar wood shalt thou make it.
2 Its length shall be a cubit and its width a cubit; it shall be square and its height two cubits; its horns shall be of the same.
3 And thou shalt cover it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou shalt make unto it a moulding of gold round about.
4 And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under its moulding by its two corners on both sides for places for the staves to bear it with.
5 And thou shalt make the staves of cedar wood and cover them with gold.
6 And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the seat of reconciliation that is over the testimony, where I will testify unto thee of myself.
7 And Aaron shall burn sweet incense thereon every morning; when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it.
8 And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it continually before the LORD throughout your ages.
9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon nor burnt sacrifice nor present; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
10 And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once a year with the blood of the reconciliation for sin; once a year shall he make reconciliation upon it throughout your ages; it shall be most holy unto the LORD.
11 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
12 When thou takest the number of the sons of Israel after the sum of them, each one shall give a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou dost number them, that there be no mortality in them because of numbering them.
13 This shall be given by every one that passes among those that are numbered: half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs); a half shekel shall be the offering to the LORD.
14 Anyone that passes among those that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give the offering unto the LORD.
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give the offering unto the LORD to make reconciliation for your souls.
16 And thou shalt take the reconciliation money of the sons of Israel and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the testimony, and it shall be a memorial unto the sons of Israel before the LORD to reconcile your souls.
17 ¶ And the LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,
18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and its base also of brass, to wash with; and thou shalt place it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, and thou shalt put water in it.
19 And from it Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.
20 When they go into the tabernacle of the testimony, they shall wash with water that they not die, or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn the offering unto the LORD that must be consumed by fire,
21 they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. And he and his seed shall have it as a perpetual statute throughout their generations.
22 ¶ The LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,
23 Thou must take unto thee of the principal spices: of excellent myrrh five hundred shekels and of aromatic cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of aromatic calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
24 and of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive one hin;
25 and thou shalt make of it the oil of the holy anointing, a superior ointment, after the art of the apothecary, which shall be the oil of the holy anointing.
26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony with it and the ark of the testimony
27 and the table and all its vessels and the lampstand and its vessels and the altar of incense
28 and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels and the laver and its base.
29 Thus thou shalt consecrate them, and they shall be most holy; whatever touches them shall be sanctified.
30 And thou shalt also anoint Aaron and his sons and sanctify them that they may be my priests.
31 And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, This shall be my oil of the holy anointing throughout your ages.
32 It shall not be poured upon man’s flesh; neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it; it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
33 Whoever compounds any like it and puts any of it upon a stranger shall be cut off from his people.
34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee aromas, stacte and onycha and aromatic galbanum and pure frankincense, of each in equal weight.
35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy;
36 and thou shalt beat some of it very small and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the testimony, where I will testify unto thee of myself. It shall be most holy unto you.
37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves another according to the composition thereof: it shall be holiness unto thee for the LORD.
38 Whoever shall make another like unto that to smell it shall be cut off from his people.
23 ¶ And when he was come into the temple, the princes of the priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a word, which if ye tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John, where was it from? from heaven or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men, we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 ¶ But what do you think? A certain man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will not, but afterward he repented and went.
30 And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I will go, Lord, and went not.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go ahead of you into the kingdom of God.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not, but the publicans and the harlots believed him, and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward that ye might believe him.
33 ¶ Hear another parable: There was a certain husband of a house who planted a vineyard and hedged it round about and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and let it out to husbandmen and went into a far country,
34 and when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his slaves and beat one and killed another and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other slaves more than the first, and they did unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us take his inheritance.
39 And they took hold of him and cast him out of the vineyard and slew him.
40 Therefore, when the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him, He will destroy those wicked men without mercy and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus said unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a people bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 And as the princes of the priests and Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude because they held him as a prophet.
