Old/New Testament
11 Afterward, the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘These are the animals which you shall eat among all the animals that are on the Earth:
3 ‘Whatever parts the hoof among the animals, and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, that shall you eat.
4 ‘But of those that chew the cud and divide the hoof, you shall not eat these. The camel, because it chews the cud and does not divide the hoof, shall be unclean to you.
5 ‘Likewise, the rock badger, because it chews the cud and does not divide the hoof, shall be unclean to you.
6 ‘Also the hare, because it chews the cud and does not divide the hoof, shall be unclean to you.
7 ‘And the swine, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed, but does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you.
8 ‘Of their flesh you shall not eat. And their carcass you shall not touch. They shall be unclean to you.
9 ‘Of all that are in the waters, you shall eat these: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, or in the rivers, you shall eat.
10 ‘But all that do not have fins or scales, in the seas or in the rivers—of all that moves in the waters and of all living things that are in the waters—they shall be an abomination to you.
11 ‘They, I say, shall be an abomination to you. You shall not eat of their flesh but shall abhor their carcass.
12 ‘Whatever in the waters that does not have fins or scales shall be abomination to you.
13 ‘Also, you shall hold these in abomination among the birds. They shall not be eaten. They are an abomination: the eagle and the goshawk and the osprey,
14 ‘and the vulture, and the kite (after its kind),
15 ‘the ravens (after their kind),
16 ‘the ostrich, and the night-crow, and the seamew, and the hawk (after its kind),
17 ‘and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 ‘the redshank, and the pelican, and the swan,
19 ‘the stork, the heron (after its kind), and the lapwing, and the bat,
20 ‘and every insect that creeps and goes upon all fours. Such shall be an abomination to you.
21 ‘Of these you shall still eat: every insect that creeps and goes upon all fours which have their feet and legs all of one, with which to leap upon the Earth.
22 ‘Of those you shall eat these: the locust (after its kind) and the winged locust (after its kind), the beetle (after its kind), and the grasshopper (after its kind).
23 ‘But all other insects which creep and have four feet shall be abomination to you.
24 ‘For by such you shall be polluted. Whoever touches the carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
25 ‘Also, whoever carries the carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.
26 ‘Every animal that has divided claws, and is not cloven-footed or chews the cud, shall be unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27 ‘And whatever goes upon its paws among all types of animals that go on all fours shall be unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until evening.
28 ‘And he who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. Such shall be unclean to you.
29 ‘Also, these shall be unclean to you among the things that creep and move upon the Earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the frog (after its kind),
30 ‘the rat, and the lizard, and the chameleon, and the snail, and the mole.
31 ‘These shall be unclean to you among all that creeps. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.
32 ‘Also, whatever any of the dead carcasses falls upon shall be unclean, be it a vessel of wood or raiment or skin or sack. Whatever vessel it is that is used shall be put in the water as unclean until the evening and be purified.
33 ‘But every earthen vessel wherein any of them falls, whatever is within it shall be unclean. And you shall break it.
34 ‘Also, all food that shall be eaten (if any such water comes upon it) shall be unclean. And all drink that shall be drunk in all such vessels shall be unclean.
35 ‘And everything that their carcass falls upon shall be unclean. The furnace, or the pot, shall be broken. They are unclean and shall be unclean to you.
36 ‘Yet the fountains and wells where there is plenty of water shall be clean. But that which touches their carcasses shall be unclean.
37 ‘And if the dead carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
38 ‘But if any water is poured upon the seed, and the dead carcass falls on it, it shall be unclean to you.
39 ‘Also, if any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40 ‘And he who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. Also, he who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
41 ‘Therefore, every creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth shall be an abomination, not to be eaten.
42 ‘Whatever goes upon its belly and whatever goes upon all fours, or that has many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the Earth, you shall not eat of them. They shall be abomination.
43 ‘You shall not pollute yourselves with anything that creeps, nor make yourselves unclean with them, nor defile yourselves by them. You shall not, I say, be defiled by them.
44 ‘For I am the LORD your God. Be sanctified, therefore, and be holy. For I am holy. And do not defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth.
45 ‘For I am the LORD Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God, and that you should be holy. For I am holy.
46 ‘This is the law of beasts and of birds and of every living thing that moves in the waters and of everything that creeps upon the Earth,
47 ‘so that there may be a difference between the unclean and clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that ought not to be eaten.’”
12 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘When a woman has brought forth seed, and borne a male child, she shall be unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean when she is isolated for her disease.
3 ‘And on the eighth day, the foreskin of the flesh shall be circumcised.
4 ‘And she shall continue for 33 days in the blood of her purifying. She shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the Sanctuary, until the time of her purifying is complete.
5 ‘But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks (as when she has her menstruation). And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying for 36 days.
6 ‘Now when the days of her purifying are completed (whether it be for a son or for a daughter) she shall bring a lamb of one year old to the Priest for a Burnt Offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a Sin Offering, to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
7 ‘who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her. So shall she be purged of the issue of her blood. This is the law for she who has borne a male or female.
8 ‘But if she is not able to bring a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a Burnt Offering and the other for a Sin Offering. And the Priest shall make an atonement for her. So shall she be clean.’”
26 And it happened that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, He said to His disciples,
2 “You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to be crucified.”
3 Then the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people gathered together into the hall of the High Priest Caiaphas.
4 And they plotted together how they might take Jesus by deceit and kill Him.
5 But they said, “Not at the feast, lest any uproar be among the people.”
6 And when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 a woman came to Him with a box of very costly ointment and poured it on His head as He sat at the table.
8 And when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
9 “For this ointment might have been sold for much and been given to the poor.”
10 And Jesus, knowing it, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me.
11 “For you have the poor with you always. But Me you shall not have always.
12 “For in pouring this ointment on My body, she did it for My burial.
13 “Truly I say to you, wherever this Gospel shall be preached throughout all the world, this that she has done shall also be spoken of, as a memorial of her.”
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
15 and said, “What will you give me to deliver Him to you?” And they gave him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time, he sought an opportunity to betray Him.
17 Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where would You like us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Master says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples”.’”
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had told them and made ready the Passover.
20 And when evening came, He sat down with the twelve.
21 And as they ate, He said, “Truly I say to you that one of you shall betray Me.”
22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each one of them began to say to Him, “Is it me, Master!?”
23 And He answered and said, “The one who has dipped his hand in the dish with Me, he shall betray Me.
24 “Surely the Son of Man goes his way, as it is written of Him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It had been good for that man if he had never been born.”
25 Then Judas (who betrayed Him) answered, and said, “Is it me, Master?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
