Old/New Testament
The Third Book of Moses, called [a]Leviticus
1 1 Of burnt offerings for particular persons. 3, 10, and 14 The manner to offer burnt offerings as well of bullocks, as of sheep and birds.
1 Now the [b]Lord called Moses, and spake unto him out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, If any of you offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, ye shall offer your sacrifice of [c]cattle, as of beeves and of the sheep.
3 (A)If his sacrifice be a burnt offering of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, presenting him of his own voluntary will at the door of the [d]Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted [e]to the Lord, to be his atonement.
5 And [f]he shall kill the bullock before the Lord, and the Priests Aaron’s sons shall offer the blood, and shall sprinkle it round about upon the [g]altar, that is by the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
6 Then shall he slay the burnt offering, and cut it in pieces.
7 So the sons of Aaron the Priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire.
8 Then the Priests Aaron’s sons shall lay the parts in order, the head and the [h]caul upon the wood that is in the fire which is upon the altar.
9 But the inwards thereof and the legs thereof he shall wash in water, and the Priest shall burn all on the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire, for a sweet savor [i]unto the Lord.
10 ¶ And if his sacrifice for the burnt offering be of the flocks (as of the sheep, or of the goats) he shall offer a male without blemish.
11 [j]And he shall kill it on the North side of the altar [k]before the Lord, and the Priests Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
12 And he shall cut it in [l]pieces, separating his head and his [m]caul, and the Priest shall lay them in order upon the wood that lieth in the fire which is on the altar:
13 But he shall wash the inwards, and the legs with water, and the Priest shall offer the whole and burn it upon the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
14 ¶ And if his sacrifice be a burnt offering to the Lord of the fowls, then shall he offer his sacrifice of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons.
15 And the Priest shall bring it unto the altar, and [n]wring the neck of it asunder, and burn it on the altar: and the blood thereof shall be [o]shed upon the side of the altar.
16 And he shall pluck out his maw with his feathers, and cast them beside the altar on the [p]East part in the place of the ashes.
17 And he shall cleave it with his wings, but not divide it asunder: and the Priest shall burn it upon the altar upon the wood that is in the fire: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
2 1 The meat offering is after three sorts of fine flour unbaked. 4 Of bread baked.
1 And when any will offer a [q]meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour, and he shall pour oil upon it, and put incense thereon.
2 And shall bring it unto Aaron’s sons the Priests, and [r]he shall take thence his handful of the flour, and of the oil with all the incense, and the Priest shall burn it for a [s]memorial upon the altar: for it is an offering made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
3 But the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: for it is [t]most holy of the Lord’s offerings made by fire.
4 ¶ If thou bring also a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be an unleavened cake of fine flour mingled with oil, or an unleavened wafer anointed with oil.
5 ¶ But if thy [u]meat offering be an oblation of the frying pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
6 And thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: for it is a meat offering.
7 ¶ And if thy meat offering be an oblation made in the caldron, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 After, thou shalt bring the meat offering (that is made of these things) unto the Lord, and shalt present it unto the Priest, and he shall bring it to the altar,
9 And the Priest shall take from the meat offering a (B)memorial of it, and shall burn it upon the altar: for it is an oblation (C)made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
10 But that which is left of the meat offering, shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: for it is most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
11 All the meat offerings which ye shall offer unto the Lord, shall be made without leaven: for ye shall neither burn leaven nor honey in any offering of the Lord made by fire.
12 ¶ In the oblation of the firstfruits ye shall offer [v]them unto the Lord, but they shall not be burnt [w]upon the altar for a sweet savor,
13 (All the meat offerings also shalt thou season with (D)salt, neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the [x]covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering, but upon all thine oblations thou shalt offer salt.)
14 If then thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt offer for thy meat offering of thy firstfruits (E)ears of corn dried by the fire, and wheat beaten out of [y]the green ears.
15 After, thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay incense thereon: for it is a meat offering.
16 And the Priest shall burn the memorial of it, even of that, that is beaten, and of the oil of it with all the incense thereof: for it is an offering unto the Lord made by fire.
3 The manner of peace offerings, and beasts for the same. 17 The Israelites may not eat fat nor blood.
1 Also if his oblation be a [z]peace offering, if he will offer of the drove (whether it be male or female) he shall offer such as is without blemish, before the Lord.
2 And shall put his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and Aaron’s sons the Priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
3 So he shall offer [aa]part of the peace offering, as a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, even the (F)fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards.
4 He shall also take away the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and upon [ab]the flanks, and the caul on the liver with the kidneys.
5 And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar, with the burnt offering, which is upon the wood, that is on the fire: this is a sacrifice made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
6 ¶ Also if his oblation be a peace offering unto the Lord out of the flock, whether it be [ac]male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.
7 If he offer a Lamb for his oblation, then he shall bring it before the Lord.
8 And lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and shall kill it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
9 After, of the peace offerings he shall offer [ad]an offering made by fire unto the Lord: he shall take away the fat thereof, and the rump altogether, hard by the back bone, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards.
10 Also he shall take away the two kidneys, with the fat that is upon them, and upon the (G)flanks, and the caul upon the liver with the kidneys.
11 Then the Priest shall burn it upon the altar, as the meat of an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
12 ¶ Also if his offering be a goat, then shall he offer it before the Lord,
13 And shall put his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before [ae]the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about.
14 Then he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord, the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards.
15 Also he shall take away the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and upon the flanks, and the caul upon the liver with the kidneys.
16 So the Priest shall burn them upon the altar, as the meat of an offering made by fire for a sweet savor: (H)all the fat is the Lord’s.
17 This shall be a perpetual ordinance for your generations, throughout all your dwellings, so that ye shall eat neither [af]fat nor (I)blood.
24 2 The destruction of the Temple. 4 The signs of Christ’s coming. 12 Iniquity. 23 False Christs. 29 The signs of the end of the world. 31 The Angels. 32 The fig tree. 37 The days of Noah. 42 We must watch. 45 The servant.
1 And (A)Jesus went out, and departed from the Temple, and his disciples came to him, to show him the building of the Temple.
2 [a]And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, (B)there shall not be here left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be cast down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came unto him apart, saying, Tell us when these things shall be, and what sign shall be of thy coming, and of the end of the world.
4 [b]And Jesus answered, and said unto them, (C)Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars: see that ye be not (D)troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the [c]end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and realm against realm, and there shall be famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in [d]divers places.
8 All these are but the beginning of [e]sorrows.
9 (E)Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my Name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall be increased, the love of many shall be cold.
13 (F)[f]But he that endureth to the end, he shall be saved.
14 And this [g]Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached through the whole [h]world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.
15 ¶ [i]When ye (G)therefore shall see the [j]abomination of desolation spoken of by (H)Daniel the Prophet, set in the holy place (let him that readeth consider it.)
16 Then let them which be in Judea, flee into the mountains.
17 Let him which is on the housetop, not come down to fetch anything out of his house.
18 And he that is in the field, let not him return back to fetch his [k]clothes.
19 And woe shall be to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days.
20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the (I)[l]Sabbath day.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, nor shall be.
22 And except [m]those days should be shortened, there should no [n]flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 (J)Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and [o]shall show great signs and wonders, so that if it were possible, they should deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth: Behold, he is in the secret places, believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the East, and is seen into the West, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 (K)[p]For wheresoever a dead [q]carcass is, thither will the Eagles be gathered together.
