Old/New Testament
25 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, so that they receive an offering for Me. You shall take the offering for Me from every man whose heart gives it freely.
3 “And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold and silver, and copper,
4 “and blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen and goat’s hair,
5 “and ram’s skins (colored red), and the skins of badgers, and shittim wood,
6 “oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for the perfume of sweet savor,
7 “onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.
8 “Also they shall make Me a Sanctuary, so that I may dwell among them.
9 “Exactly according to all that I show you, shall you make the form of the Tabernacle, and the fashion of all its instruments.
10 “They shall also make an Ark of shittim wood, two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high.
11 “And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside shall you overlay it, and shall make a gold border all around it.
12 “And you shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them in its four corners. That is, two rings shall be on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
13 “And you shall make poles of shittim wood and cover them with gold.
14 “Then you shall put the poles in the rings, on the sides of the Ark, and carry the Ark with them.
15 “The poles shall be in the rings of the Ark. They shall not be taken away from it.
16 “So, you shall put the Testimony (which I shall give you) in the Ark.
17 “Also, you shall make a Mercy Seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half broad.
18 “And you shall make two Cherubims of gold; of work beaten out with a hammer you shall make them, at the two ends of the Mercy Seat.
19 “And you shall make one Cherub at one end, and the other Cherub at the other end. From one piece you shall make the Cherubims with the Mercy Seat, on its two ends.
20 “And the Cherubims shall stretch their wings on high, covering the Mercy Seat with their wings and their faces toward one another. Toward the Mercy Seat shall the faces of the Cherubims be.
21 “And you shall put the Mercy Seat on top of the Ark. And in the Ark you shall put the Testimony which I will give you.
22 “And there I will declare Myself to you. And from above the Mercy Seat, between the two Cherubims which are upon the Ark of the Testimony, I will tell you all things which I will give you in Commandment to the children of Israel.
23 “You shall also make a Table of shittim wood, two cubits long, one cubit broad, and a cubit and a half high.
24 “And you shall cover it with pure gold and make a border of gold all around it.
25 “You shall also make a rim for it all around, the width of a handbreadth. And you shall make a golden border all around the rim of it.
26 “After, you shall make four rings of gold for it, and shall put the rings on the four corners which are on its four feet.
27 “The rings shall be close to the border, as places for poles, to carry the Table.
28 “And you shall make the poles of shittim wood, and shall overlay them with gold, so that the Table may be carried with them.
29 “You shall also make dishes for it, and cups for it, and coverings for it, and goblets, with which it shall be covered. Of fine gold you shall make them.
30 “And you shall set Showbread upon the Table before Me continually.
31 “Also, you shall make a Lampstand of pure gold. Of work beaten out with a hammer shall the Lampstand be made. Its shaft and its branches, its bowls, its knobs and its flowers shall be of the same.
32 “Also, six branches shall come out of the sides of it—three branches of the Lampstand out of one side of it, and three branches of the Lampstand out of the other side of it.
33 “Three bowls are to be like almonds, one knob and one flower in one branch. And three bowls are to be like almonds in the other branch, one knob and one flower. So it is throughout the six branches that come out of the Lampstand.
34 “And in the shaft of the Lampstand shall be four bowls like almonds, with its knobs and its flowers.
35 “And there shall be a knob under its first pair of branches, and a knob under its second pair of branches, and a knob under its third pair of branches, according to the six branches coming out of the Lampstand.
36 “Their knobs and their branches shall be one piece. All this shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37 “And you shall make the seven Lamps for it. And you shall put on the Lamps for it, so as to give light toward that which is before it.
38 “Also, its snuffers and snuff dishes shall be of pure gold.
39 “You shall make it from a talent of fine gold, with all these instruments.
40 “See, therefore, that you make them after the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.”
26 “Afterward, you shall make the Tabernacle, with ten curtains of fine-twined linen and blue silk, and purple, and scarlet. And in them you shall make Cherubims of skilled workmanship.
2 “The length of one curtain shall be 28 cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits. Every one of the curtains shall have the same measure.
3 “Five curtains shall be coupled to one another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.
4 “And you shall make loops of blue silk upon the edge of one curtain, which is at the outermost edge of the coupling. And you shall make the same loops on the outermost edge of the other curtain, in the second coupling.
5 “You shall make fifty loops on one curtain; and you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is in the second coupling. The loops shall be directly opposite each other.
6 “You shall also make fifty clasps of gold and couple the curtains to each another with the clasps. And it shall be one Tabernacle.
7 “Also, you shall make curtains of goats’ hair, to be a covering upon the Tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.
8 “The length of a curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of a curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains shall be the same length.
9 “And you shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. And you shall double over the sixth curtain upon the front of the covering.
10 “And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of one curtain, on the outermost end of the coupling, and fifty loops on the outermost edge of the curtain in the second coupling.
11 “Likewise, you shall make fifty clasps of copper and fasten them on the loops, and shall couple the covering together, so that it may be one.
12 “And the remnant that remains in the curtains of the covering, the half- curtain that remains, shall be left at the back side of the Tabernacle.
13 “A cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side (of that which is left in the length of the curtains of the covering) may remain on either side of the Tabernacle, to cover it.
14 “Moreover, for that covering, you shall make a covering of rams’ skins, (dyed red) and a covering of badgers’ skins above that.
15 “Also, you shall make boards of shittim wood for the Tabernacle, to stand upright.
16 “The length of a board shall be ten cubits; and the breadth of one board shall be one and a half cubits.
17 “Two tenons shall be set in one board, to join two boards together. Thus shall you make it for all the boards of the Tabernacle.
18 “And you shall make boards for the Tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side.
19 “And you shall make forty pedestals of silver under the twenty boards, two pedestals under one board for its two tenons, and two pedestals under another board for its two tenons.
20 “In the same way, on the other side of the Tabernacle, toward the north side, there shall be twenty boards
21 “and their forty pedestals of silver, two pedestals under one board and two pedestals under another board.
22 “And on the side of the Tabernacle, toward the west, you shall make six boards.
23 “Also, you shall make two boards in the corners of the Tabernacle, on the two sides.
24 “Also, they shall be joined beneath, and they shall be joined above, to a ring. It shall be this way for them both. They shall be for the two corners.
25 “So they shall be, eight boards having pedestals of silver (sixteen pedestals), with two pedestals under one board and two pedestals under another board.
26 “Then, you shall make five poles of shittim wood, for the boards of one side of the Tabernacle
27 “and five poles for the boards of the other side of the Tabernacle (also, five poles for the boards of the west side of the Tabernacle).
28 “And the middle bar shall go through the midst of the boards, from end to end.
29 “And you shall cover the boards with gold and make their rings of gold, for places for the poles. And you shall cover the poles with gold.
30 “So you shall raise up the Tabernacle, according to its pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.
31 “Moreover, you shall make a veil of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen. You shall make it of skillful workmanship, with Cherubims.
32 “And you shall hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood covered with gold (whose hooks shall be of gold) upon four pedestals of silver.
33 “Afterward, you shall hang the veil on the hooks, so that you may bring into it (that is, within the veil) the Ark of the Testimony. And the veil shall make a separation for you, between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place.
34 “Also, you shall put the Mercy Seat upon the Ark of the Testimony, in the Most Holy Place.
35 “And you shall set the Table outside the veil, and the Lampstand opposite the Table, on the south side of the Tabernacle. And you shall set the Table on the north side.
36 “Also, you shall make a screen for the door of the Tabernacle, of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen, expertly woven.
37 “And you shall make five pillars of shittim wood for the screen and cover them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold; and you shall cast five pedestals of copper for them.”
17 And Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and took the twelve disciples aside on the way and said to them,
18 “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes. And they shall condemn Him to death,
19 “and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles - to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify. But the third day, He shall rise again.”
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s children came to Him with her sons, worshipping, and desiring a certain thing of Him.
21 “And he said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to him, “Grant that these, my two sons, may sit - the one at Your right hand and the other at Your left hand - in Your Kingdom.”
22 And Jesus answered, and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink from the cup from which I shall drink, and to be baptized with the baptism with which I shall be baptized?” They said to Him, “We are able.”
23 And He said to them, “You shall indeed drink from My cup, and shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. But to sit at My right hand, and at My left hand, is not Mine to give. But it shall be given to those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”
24 And when the other ten heard this, they were angry at the two brothers.
25 Therefore Jesus called them to Him, and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them. And those who are great, exercise authority over them.
26 “But it shall not be so among you. But whoever will be great among you, let him be your servant.
27 “And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant;
28 “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life for the ransom of many.”
29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.
30 And behold, two blind men, sitting by the roadside, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried, saying, “O Lord, the Son of David! Have mercy on us!”
31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace. But they cried all the more, saying, “O Lord! The Son of David! Have mercy on us!”
32 Then Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, “What would you have Me do to you?
33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened!”
34 And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight. And they followed Him.
