Old/New Testament
14 1 The cleansing of the leper, 34 And of the house that he is in.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 (A)This is the [a]law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: that is, he shall be brought unto the Priest,
3 And the Priest shall go out of the camp, and the Priest shall consider him: and if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper,
4 Then shall the Priest command to take for him that is cleansed, two [b]sparrows alive and [c]clean, and cedarwood and a scarlet lace, and hyssop.
5 And the Priest shall command to kill one of the birds over [d]pure water in an earthen vessel.
6 After, he shall take the live sparrow with the cedarwood, and the scarlet lace, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living sparrow in the blood of the sparrow slain, over the pure water.
7 And he shall sprinkle upon him, that must be cleansed of his leprosy, seven times, and cleanse him, and shall [e]let go the live sparrow into the broad field.
8 Then he that shall be cleansed, shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, so he shall be clean: after that shall he come into the host, and shall tarry without his tent seven days.
9 So in the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair both his head and his beard, and his eyebrows: even all his hair shall be shaven, and shall wash his clothes, and shall wash his flesh in water: so he shall be clean.
10 Then in the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without [f]blemish, and an ewe lamb of a year old without blemish, and three-tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, [g]and a pint of oil.
11 And the Priest that maketh him clean shall bring the man which is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
12 Then the Priest shall take one lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the pint of oil, and (B)shake them to and fro before the Lord.
13 And he shall kill the lamb in the place where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slain, even in the holy place: for as the (C)sin offering is the Priest’s, so is the trespass offering: for it is most holy.
14 So the Priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the lap of the right ear of him that shall be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
15 The Priest shall also take of the pint of oil, and pour it into the palm of his left hand,
16 And the Priest shall dip his [h]right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord.
17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand, shall the Priest put upon the lap of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, [i]where the blood of the trespass offering was put.
18 But the remnant of the oil that is in the Priest’s hand, he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord.
19 And the Priest shall offer the burnt offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed of his uncleanness: then after shall he kill the burnt offering.
20 So the Priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the Altar: and the Priest shall make an atonement for him: so he shall be clean.
21 But if he be poor, and not [j]able, then he shall bring one lamb for a trespass offering to be shaken, for his reconciliation, and a [k]tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil, for a meat offering, with a pint of oil.
22 Also two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, as he is able, whereof the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering,
23 And he shall bring them the eighth day for his cleansing unto the Priest at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord.
24 Then the Priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the pint of oil, and the Priest shall [l]shake them to and fro before the Lord.
25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the Priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the lap of his right ear that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
26 Also the Priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own [m]left hand.
27 So the Priest shall with his right finger sprinkle of the oil that is in his left hand, seven times before the Lord.
28 Then the Priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand, upon the lap of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: upon the place [n]of the blood of the trespass offering.
29 But the rest of the oil that is in the Priest’s hand, he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the Lord.
30 Also he shall present one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, [o]as he is able.
31 Such, I say, as he is able, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, [p]with the meat offering: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the Lord.
32 This is the [q]Law of him which hath the plague of leprosy, who is not able in his cleansing to offer the whole.
33 ¶ The Lord also spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
34 When ye be come unto the land of Canaan which I give you in possession, if I [r]send the plague of leprosy in an house of the land of your possession,
35 Then he that [owneth] the house shall come and tell the Priest, saying, Me think there is like a plague of leprosy in the house.
36 Then the Priest shall command them to empty the house before the Priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean, and then shall the Priest go in to see the house.
37 And he shall mark the plague: and if the plague be in the walls of the house, and that there be [s]deep spots, greenish or reddish, which seem to be lower than the wall.
38 Then the Priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shall cause to shut up the house seven days.
39 So the Priest shall come again the seventh day: and if he see that the plague be increased in the walls of the house,
40 Then the Priest shall command them to take away the stones wherein the plague is, and they shall cast them into a [t]foul place without the city.
41 Also he shall cause to scrape the house within round about, and pour the dust, that they have pared off, without the city in [u]an unclean place.
42 And they shall take other stones, and put them in the places of those stones, and shall take other mortar, to plaster the house with.
43 But if the plague come again and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after that he hath scraped and plastered the house,
44 Then the Priest shall come and see: and if the plague grow in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is therefore unclean.
45 And he shall [v]break down the house, with the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the [w]mortar of the house, and he shall carry them out of the city unto an unclean place.
46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up, he shall be unclean until the even.
47 He also that sleepeth in the house shall wash his clothes: he likewise that eateth in the house, shall wash his clothes.
48 But if the Priest shall come and see, that the plague hath spread no further in the house, after the house be plastered, the Priest shall pronounce the house clean, for the plague is healed.
49 Then shall he take to purify the house, two sparrows, and cedarwood, and [x]scarlet lace, and hyssop.
50 And he shall kill one sparrow over pure water in an earthen vessel,
51 And shall take the cedarwood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet lace with the live Sparrow, and dip them in the blood of the slain Sparrow, and in the pure water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
52 So shall he cleanse the house with the blood of the sparrow, and with the pure water, and with the live sparrow, and with the cedarwood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet lace.
53 Afterward he shall let go the live sparrow out of the [y]town into the [z]broad fields: so shall he make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
54 This is the law for every plague of leprosy and (D)black spot,
55 And of the leprosy of the garment, and of the house,
56 And of the [aa]swelling, and of the scab, and of the white spot.
57 This is the law of the leprosy, to teach [ab]when a thing is unclean, and when it is clean.
51 And behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high Priest, and smote off his ear.
52 [a]Then said Jesus unto him, Put up thy sword into his place: (A)for all that [b]take the sword, shall perish with the sword.
53 [c]Either thinkest thou, that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of Angels?
54 [d]How then should the (B)Scriptures be fulfilled, which say, that it must be so?
55 The same hour said Jesus to the multitude, Ye be come out as it were against a thief, with swords and staves to take me: I sat daily teaching in the Temple among you, and ye took me not.
56 But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the Prophets might be fulfilled. (C)Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
57 ¶ (D)[e]And they took Jesus, and led him to [f]Caiaphas the high Priest, where the Scribes and the Elders were assembled.
58 And Peter followed him afar off unto the high Priest’s [g]hall, and went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
59 Now (E)the chief Priests and the Elders, and all the whole Council sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death.
60 But they found none, and though many false witnesses came, yet found they none: but at the last came two false witnesses,
61 And said, This man said, (F)I can destroy the Temple of God, and build it in three days.
62 Then the chief Priest arose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing? [h]What is the matter that these men witness against thee?
63 But Jesus held his peace. Then the chief Priest answered, and said to him, I charge thee swear unto us by the living God, to tell us, If thou be that Christ the son of God, or no.
64 (G)Jesus said to him, Thou hast said it: nevertheless I say unto you, [i]Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man, sitting [j]at the right hand of the power of God, and come in the [k]clouds of the heaven.
65 Then the high Priest [l]rent his clothes, saying, He hath blasphemed, what have we any more need of witnesses: behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66 What think ye? They answered, and said, He is guilty of death.
67 (H)Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him, and others smote him with rods,
68 Saying, Prophesy to us, O Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
69 ¶ (I)[m]Peter [n]sat without in the hall, and a maid came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee:
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I wot not what thou sayest.
71 And when he went out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an oath, saying, I know not the man.
73 So after a while, came unto him they that stood by, and said unto Peter, Surely thou art also one of them: for even thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Then began he to [o]curse himself, and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 Then Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which had said unto him, Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. So he went out, and wept bitterly.
