Old/New Testament
11 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3 Whatever divides the hoof and is clovenfooted and chews the cud, among the animals, that shall you eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud or of those that divide the hoof: the camel because it chews the cud but divides not the hoof; it is unclean unto you.
5 And the coney because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof: it is unclean unto you.
6 And the hare because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof: it is unclean unto you.
7 And the swine though it divides the hoof and is clovenfooted, yet it chews not the cud: it is unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcase you shall not touch: they are unclean to you.
9 ¶ These shall you eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, those shall you eat.
10 But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of any reptile in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you;
11 they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.
12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13 And these ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they shall be an abomination: the eagle, the ossifrage, the ospray,
14 the vulture, and the kite according to his species,
15 every raven according to his species,
16 the owl, the night hawk, the cuckow, and the hawk according to his species;
17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18 the swan, the pelican, the gier eagle,
19 the stork, the heron according to her species, the lapwing, and the bat.
20 ¶ Every flying insect that creeps, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying insect that goes upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with them upon the earth;
22 these of them ye may eat: the locust according to his species and the bald locust according to his species and the beetle according to his species and the grasshopper according to his species.
23 But all other flying insects, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever touches their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.
25 And whoever bears any part of their carcase shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
26 The carcasses of every animal which divides the hoof and is not clovenfooted, nor chews the cud, are unclean unto you; everyone that touches them shall be unclean.
27 And of all the animals that go on all four, any that walk upon their paws are unclean unto you; whoever touches their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.
28 And he that bears their carcase shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean unto you.
29 These also shall be unclean unto you among the animals that creep upon the earth: the weasel and the mouse and the frog according to his species
30 and the ferret and the lizard and the snail and the slug and the mole.
31 These are unclean to you among all the animals; whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
32 And everything upon which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever instrument with which work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; and thus it shall be cleansed.
33 And every earthen vessel into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break the vessel.
34 All food which may be eaten upon which shall come water from any such vessel shall be unclean; and any drink that may be drunk shall be unclean in every such vessel.
35 And everything upon which any part of their carcase falls shall be unclean: the oven or the chimney shall be broken down, for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you.
36 Nevertheless a fountain or cistern where water is collected shall be clean; but that which touches their carcase shall be unclean.
37 And if any part of their carcase falls upon any sown seed which is sown, it shall be clean.
38 But if any water is put upon the seed and any part of their carcase falls thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39 And if any animal of which ye may eat dies, he that touches the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the evening;
40 and he that eats of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; likewise he that bears the carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
41 And every reptile that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Whatever goes upon the belly and whatever goes upon four or more feet among all reptiles that creep upon the earth, ye shall not eat; for it is abomination.
43 ¶ Ye shall not defile your souls with any reptile that creeps, neither shall ye contaminate yourselves with them, that ye should be unclean with them.
44 For I am the LORD your God; ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; neither shall ye defile your souls with any reptile that moves upon the earth.
45 For I am the LORD that causes you to come up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 This is the law of the animals and of the fowls and of every living creature that moves in the waters and of every animal that creeps upon the earth:
47 to make a difference between the unclean and the clean and between the animals that may be eaten and the animals that may not be eaten.
12 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, If a woman has conceived seed and gives birth to a man child, then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her menses shall she be unclean.
3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying thirty-three days; she shall touch no holy thing, nor come to the sanctuary until the days of her purifying are fulfilled.
5 But if she gives birth to a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, according to her separation, and she shall be purifying herself for sixty-six days from her blood.
6 ¶ And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove as sin, unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, unto the priest,
7 who shall offer it before the LORD and reconcile her, and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that has given birth to a male or a female.
8 And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons: the one for the burnt offering and the other as sin; and the priest shall reconcile her, and she shall be clean.
26 ¶ And it came to pass when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Then the princes of the priests and the scribes and the elders of the people assembled together in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 and took counsel that they might take Jesus by guile and kill him.
5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6 ¶ Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 a woman came unto him having an alabaster box of very precious ointment and poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
8 But when his disciples saw it, they became indignant, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.
10 But Jesus, understanding this, said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she has wrought a good work upon me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
12 For in that she has poured this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare for my burial.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman has done, be told for a memorial of her.
14 ¶ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the princes of the priests
15 and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 ¶ Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 And he said, Go into the city to a certain man and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them, and they made ready the passover.
20 Now when the evening was come, he sat down at the table with the twelve.
21 And as they ate, he said, Verily I say unto you that one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
23 And he answered and said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born.
25 Then Judas, who was betraying him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
