Old/New Testament
15 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When you have entered into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you
3 and will make an offering on fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to offer a vow or of your free will or to make in your solemn feasts an acceptable savour unto the LORD, of the cows, or of the sheep,
4 then he that offers his offering unto the LORD shall bring a present of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil;
5 and of wine for a drink offering shalt thou offer the fourth part of a hin in addition to the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb.
6 And for each ram, thou shalt prepare as a present two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil;
7 and of wine for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin, for an acceptable savour unto the LORD.
8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to offer a vow or a sacrifice of peace unto the LORD,
9 thou shalt offer with the bullock a present of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half of a hin of oil;
10 and of wine for a drink offering thou shalt offer half of a hin, for an offering on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the LORD.
11 Thus shall it be done for each bullock or for each ram or for each lamb, the same for sheep as for goats.
12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to each one according to their number.
13 All that are natural born shall do these things after this manner, to offer an offering on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the LORD.
14 And when a stranger sojourns with you or whoever is among you, for your ages, if they will offer an offering on fire of an acceptable savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
15 One statute shall be both for you of the congregation and also for the stranger that sojourns with you, a perpetual statute, for your ages; as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
16 One same law and the same right shall be for you and for the stranger that sojourns with you.
17 The LORD also spoke unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When ye have come into the land where I bring you,
19 then it shall be that when ye begin to eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an offering unto the LORD.
20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an offering; as the offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye offer it.
21 Of the firstfruits of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an offering in your generations.
22 ¶ And when ye err and do not observe all these commandments which the LORD has spoken unto Moses,
23 even all that the LORD has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses and from then on, for your ages,
24 then it shall be, if the sin was committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock as a burnt offering, for an acceptable savour unto the LORD with its present and its drink offering, according to the law, and one he goat as the sin.
25 And the priest shall reconcile all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it is ignorance; and they shall bring their offering, an offering on fire unto the LORD and their sins before the LORD which they committed in their ignorance.
26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the sons of Israel and the stranger that sojourns among them, seeing all the people were in ignorance.
27 And if any person sins through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year as the sin.
28 And the priest shall reconcile the soul that errs ignorantly, when he sins by ignorance before the LORD, he shall be reconciled; and it shall be forgiven him.
29 Ye shall have the same law for the one that sins through ignorance, both for the natural born among the sons of Israel and for the stranger that sojourns among them.
30 ¶ But the person that does something consciously, whether they are natural born or a stranger, the same reproaches the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31 Because he has despised the word of the LORD and has made void his commandment, that person shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
32 And while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered firewood upon the sabbath day.
33 And those that found him gathering firewood brought him unto Moses and Aaron and unto all the congregation.
34 And they put him in ward because it was not declared what should be done to him.
35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.
36 Then all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died, as the LORD commanded Moses.
37 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
38 Speak unto the sons of Israel and bid them that they make for themselves fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue.
39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe that ye may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, seeking after which ye fornicate.
40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
41 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I AM your God.
16 ¶ Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, of the sons of Reuben, took men;
2 and they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty men of the sons of Israel, princes of the congregation, of the council, men of renown;
3 and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron and said unto them, We have had enough of you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them; why then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face;
5 and he spoke unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Tomorrow the LORD will show who are his and who is holy and will cause the one who is holy to come near unto him; the one whom he has chosen he will cause to come near unto him.
6 Do this: Take censers, Korah, and all his company,
7 and put fire in them and put incense in them before the LORD tomorrow; and it shall be that the man whom the LORD chooses, he shall be holy; this shall be enough for you, ye sons of Levi.
8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
9 Does it seem but a small thing unto you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to minister in the service of the tabernacle of the LORD and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
10 And that he has brought thee near to him and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, and ye seek the priesthood also?
11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD, for what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
12 ¶ And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they replied, We will not come up.
13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that flowed with milk and honey to make us die in the wilderness, but thou must also make thyself lord to rule over us?
14 Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land that flows with milk and honey or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards; wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.
15 Then Moses was very angry and said unto the LORD, Look not thou upon their offering; I have not taken so much as one ass from them, neither have I done evil to any of them.
16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou and they and Aaron, tomorrow;
17 and let each man take his censer and put incense in them and let each man bring his censer before the LORD, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also and Aaron, each of you with his censer.
18 And each man took his censer and put fire in them and laid incense in them and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the testimony with Moses and Aaron.
19 And Korah had gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony; then the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
20 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, and I will consume them in a moment.
22 And they fell upon their faces and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
23 ¶ Then the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Separate yourselves now from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 And he spoke unto the congregation, saying, Depart from the tents of these wicked men and touch nothing of theirs lest peradventure ye be consumed in all their sins.
27 So they removed themselves from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side; and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little children.
28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them out of my own heart.
29 If these men die the common death of all men or if they are visited after the visitation of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 But if the LORD does a new thing and the earth opens her mouth and swallows them up with all their things and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have provoked the LORD.
31 And it came to pass as he had made an end of speaking all these words that the ground broke open under them;
32 the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their houses and all the men of Korah and all their goods.
33 They and all that they had went down alive into Sheol, and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the congregation.
34 And all Israel, those that were round about them, fled at the cry of them, for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
35 ¶ And fire came out from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
36 Then the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning and scatter thou the fire yonder, for
38 the censers of these sinners are sanctified against their own souls, and broad plates shall be made of them for a covering of the altar, for they offered with them before the LORD; therefore, they are sanctified, and they shall be a sign unto the sons of Israel.
39 And Eleazar, the priest, took the brass censers with which those that were burnt had offered, and they were made into a broad covering of the altar
40 to be a memorial unto the sons of Israel, that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to offer incense before the LORD, that he not be as Korah and as his company, as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.
41 ¶ But on the next day all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.
42 And it came to pass when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron that they looked toward the tabernacle of the testimony; and, behold, the cloud had covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the testimony.
44 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
45 Depart from among this congregation, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take the censer and put fire in it from off the altar and put incense upon it and go quickly unto the congregation and reconcile them; for the wrath has gone out from before the face of the LORD; the plague is begun.
47 Then Aaron took his censer as Moses said and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people; and he put on incense and reconciled the people.
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Now those that died in that plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those that died concerning the matter of Korah.
50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, when the plague was stayed.
6 ¶ And he went out from there and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From where has this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him and such mighty works that are wrought by his hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses and of Juda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not dishonoured except in his own country and among his own kin and in his own house.
5 And he could do no mighty work there except that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them.
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went through the villages round about, teaching.
7 ¶ And he called unto him the twelve and began to send them forth by two and two and gave them power over the unclean spirits
8 and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey except a staff only: no provision bag, no bread, no money in their purse;
9 but be shod with sandals and not put on two coats.
10 And he said unto them, In whatever place ye enter into a house, there abide until ye depart from that place.
11 And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you, when ye depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet in testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment than for that city.
12 And they went out and preached that men should repent.
13 And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many that were sick, and they were healed.
14 ¶ And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad), and he said, John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore virtues operate in him.
15 Others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is the prophet or one of the prophets.
16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, This is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.
18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him and would have killed him, but she could not;
20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and respected him; and when he heard him, he did many things and heard him gladly.
21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his princes and tribunes and to the principal people of Galilee;
22 and when the daughter of Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and those that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it unto thee.
23 And he swore unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it unto thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 And she came in with haste unto the king and asked, saying, I will that thou give me immediately in a platter the head of John the Baptist.
26 And the king was exceeding sorry, yet for his oath’s sake and for the sakes of those who sat with him, he would not reject her.
27 And straightway the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought, and he went and beheaded him in the prison
28 and brought his head in a platter and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
