Old/New Testament
23 2 The feasts of the Lord. 3 The Sabbath. 5 The Passover. 6 The feast of unleavened bread. 10 The feast of firstfruits. 16 Whitsuntide. 24 The feast of blowing trumpets. 34 The feast of Tabernacles.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The feasts of the Lord which ye shall call the holy [a]assemblies, even these are my feasts.
3 (A)Six days [b]shall work be done, but in the seventh day shall be the Sabbath of rest, an holy [c]convocation: ye shall do no work therein, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, in all your dwellings.
4 ¶ These are the feasts of the Lord, and holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their [d]seasons.
5 In the first month and in the fourteenth day of the month at evening shall be the Passover of the Lord.
6 And on the fifteenth day of this month shall be the feast (B)of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no [e]servile work therein.
8 Also ye shall offer sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord seven days, and in the [f]seventh day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
9 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring [g]a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the Priest,
11 And he shall shake the sheaf before the Lord, that it may be acceptable for you: the morrow after the [h]Sabbath, the Priest shall shake it.
12 And that day when ye shake the sheaf, shall ye prepare a lamb without blemish of a year old, for a burnt offering unto the Lord:
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two [i]tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, for a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord of sweet savor: and the drink offering thereof the fourth part [j]of an Hin of wine.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread nor parched corn, nor [k]green ears until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: this shall be a Law forever in your generations and in all your dwellings.
15 ¶ Ye shall count also to you from the morrow after the [l]Sabbath, even from the day that ye shall bring the sheaf of the shake offering, seven [m]Sabbaths, they shall be complete.
16 Unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days: then ye shall bring a new meat offering unto the Lord.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations bread for the shake offering: they shall be two loaves of two tenth deals of fine flour, which shall be baken with [n]leaven for firstfruits unto the Lord.
18 Also ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of one year old, and a young bullock and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, for a sacrifice made by fire of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
19 Then ye shall prepare an he goat for a sin offering, and two lambs of one year old for peace offerings.
20 And the Priest shall shake them to and fro with the bread of the firstfruits before the Lord, and with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the Lord, for the [o]Priest.
21 So ye shall proclaim the same day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be an ordinance forever in all your dwellings, throughout your generations.
22 ¶ (C)And when you reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not rid clean the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou make any aftergathering of thy harvest, but shalt leave them unto the poor and to the stranger, I am the Lord your God.
23 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, In the [p]seventh month, and in the first day of the month shall ye [q]have a Sabbath, for the remembrance of [r]blowing the trumpets, an holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein, but offer sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
26 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
27 The (D)tenth also of this seventh month, shall be a day of reconciliation: it shall be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall [s]humble your souls, and offer sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
28 And ye shall do no work that same day: for it is a day of reconciliation, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
29 For every person that humbleth not himself that same day, shall even be cut off from his people.
30 And every person that shall do any work that same day, the same person also will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner work therefore: this shall be a law forever in your generations, throughout all your dwellings.
32 This shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall humble your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from [t]even to even shall ye [u]celebrate your Sabbath.
33 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, (E)In the fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be for seven days the feast of Tabernacles unto the Lord.
35 In the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer (F)sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and in the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall offer sacrifices made by fire unto the Lord: it is the [v]solemn assembly, ye shall do no servile work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the Lord (which ye shall call holy convocations) to offer sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, as burnt offering, and meat offering, [w]sacrifice, and drink offerings, every one upon his day,
38 Beside the Sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your free offerings, which ye shall give unto the Lord.
39 But in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep an holy feast unto the Lord seven days: in the first day shall be a [x]Sabbath: likewise in the eighth day shall be a Sabbath.
40 And ye shall take you in the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of [y]thick trees, and willows of the brook, and shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.
41 So ye shall keep this feast unto the Lord seven days in the year, by a perpetual ordinance through your generations: in the seventh month shall you keep it.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days: all that are Israelites born, shall dwell in booths,
43 That your posterity may know that I have made the children of Israel to dwell in [z]booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
44 So Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.
24 The oil for the lamps. 5 The showbread. 14 The blasphemer shall be stoned. 17 He that killeth shall be killed.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 [aa]Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten, for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
3 Without the veil [ab]of the Testimony, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall Aaron dress them, both even and morning before the Lord always: this shall be a law forever through your generations.
4 He shall dress the lamps upon the (G)pure Candlestick before the Lord perpetually.
5 ¶ Also thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve (H)cakes thereof: two [ac]tenth deals shall be in one cake.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row upon the pure table before the Lord.
7 Thou shalt also put pure incense upon the rows, that [ad]instead of the bread it may be for a remembrance, and an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
8 Every Sabbath he shall put them in rows before the Lord evermore, receiving them of the children of Israel for an everlasting Covenant.
9 (I)And the bread shall be Aaron’s and his sons’, and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual ordinance.
10 ¶ And there went [ae]out among the children of Israel the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian: and this son of the Israelitish woman, and a man of Israel strove together in the host.
11 So the Israelitish woman’s son [af]blasphemed the Name of the Lord, and cursed, and they brought him unto Moses (his mother’s name also was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan)
12 And they (J)put him in ward, till he told them the mind of the Lord.
13 Then the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
14 Bring the blasphemer without the host, and let all that heard him, (K)put their hands upon his head, and let all the Congregation stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God, shall [ag]bear his sin.
16 And he that blasphemeth the Name of the Lord, shall be put to death: all the Congregation shall stone him to death: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land: when he blasphemeth the Name of the Lord, let him be slain.
17 ¶ (L)He also that [ah]killeth any man, he shall be put to death.
18 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it, [ai]beast for beast.
19 Also if a man cause any blemish in his neighbor: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
20 (M)Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: such a blemish as he hath made in any, such shall be repaid to him.
21 And he that killeth a beast, shall restore it: but he that killeth a man, shall be slain.
22 Ye shall have one (N)law: it shall be as well for the stranger as for one born in the country, for I am the Lord your God.
23 ¶ Then [aj]Moses told the children of Israel, and they brought the blasphemer out of the host, and stoned him with stones: so the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ, According to Mark
1 4 John baptizeth. 6 His apparel and meat. 9 Jesus is baptized. 12 He is tempted. 14 He preacheth the Gospel, 21 and 29 he teacheth in the Synagogues. 23 He healeth one that had a devil. 29 Peter’s mother-in-law. 32 Many diseased persons. 40 The leper.
1 The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God:
2 [a]As it is written in the [b]Prophets, (A)Behold, [c]I send my messenger [d]before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 (B)The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, is, Prepare the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
4 (C)[e]John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the [f]baptism of amendment of life, for remission of sins.
5 And all the country of Judea, and they of Jerusalem went out unto him, and were all baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 (D)Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins: and he did eat (E)locusts and wild honey,
7 (F)[g]And preached, saying, A stronger than I cometh after me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to [h]stoop down, and unloose.
8 Truth it is, I have [i]baptized you with water: but he will baptize you with the holy Ghost.
9 ¶ (G)[j]And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth, a city of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10 [k]And as soon as [l]he was come out of the water, John saw the heavens cloven in twain, and the holy Ghost descending upon him like a dove.
11 Then there was a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am [m]well pleased.
12 (H)[n]And immediately the Spirit [o]driveth him into the wilderness.
13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, and was tempted of Satan: he was also with the wild beasts, and the Angels ministered unto him.
14 ¶ (I)[p]Now after that John was committed to prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent and believe the Gospel.
16 ¶ (J)[q]And as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers.)
17 Then Jesus said unto them, Follow me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
19 [r]And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, as they were in the ship, mending their nets.
20 And anon he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired servants, and went their way after him.
21 ¶ So (K)they entered into [s]Capernaum: and straightway on the Sabbath day he entered into the Synagogue, and taught.
22 And they were astonied at his doctrine, (L)for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the Scribes.
