The Law of Burnt Offerings
1 Then (A)the Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When any man of you brings an [a](B)offering to the Lord, you shall bring your [b]offering of animals from (C)the herd or the flock. 3 If his offering is a (D)burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer it, a male (E)without defect; he shall offer it (F)at the doorway of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord. 4 (G)He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be accepted for him to make (H)atonement on his behalf. 5 (I)He shall slay the [c]young bull before the Lord; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall offer up (J)the blood and (K)sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 6 (L)He shall then skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. 7 (M)The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. 8 Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, the head and the (N)suet over the wood which is on the fire that is on the altar. 9 Its (O)entrails, however, and its legs he shall wash with water. And (P)the priest shall offer up in smoke all of it on the altar for a burnt offering, an offering by fire of (Q)a soothing aroma to the Lord.
10 ‘But if his offering is from the flock, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer it a (R)male without defect. 11 (S)He shall slay it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 12 He shall then cut it into its pieces with its head and its (T)suet, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood which is on the fire that is on the altar. 13 The entrails, however, and the legs he shall wash with water. And (U)the priest shall offer all of it, and offer it up in smoke on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord.
14 ‘But if his offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering from the (V)turtledoves or from young pigeons. 15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head and offer it up in smoke on the altar; and its blood is to be drained out (W)on the side of the altar. 16 He shall also take away its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar eastward, to the place of the [d](X)ashes. 17 Then he shall tear it by its wings, but (Y)shall not sever it. And the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar on the wood which is on the fire; (Z)it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord.
The Law of Grain Offerings
2 ‘Now when anyone presents a (AA)grain offering as an offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour, and he shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it. 2 He shall then bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests; and shall take from it (AB)his handful of its fine flour and of its oil with all of its frankincense. And the priest shall offer it up in smoke as its (AC)memorial portion on the altar, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord. 3 (AD)The remainder of the grain offering belongs to (AE)Aaron and his sons: a thing most holy, of the offerings to the Lord by fire.
4 ‘Now when you bring an offering of a grain offering baked in an oven, it shall be (AF)unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers [e]spread with oil. 5 If your offering is a grain offering made (AG)on the griddle, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil; 6 you shall break it into bits and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. 7 Now if your offering is a grain offering made (AH)in a [f]pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 When you bring in the grain offering which is made of these things to the Lord, it shall be presented to the priest and he shall bring it to the altar. 9 The priest then shall take up from the grain offering (AI)its memorial portion, and shall offer it up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord. 10 (AJ)The remainder of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons: a thing most holy of the offerings to the Lord by fire.
11 ‘(AK)No grain offering, which you bring to the Lord, shall be made with leaven, for you shall not offer [g]up in smoke any leaven or any honey as an (AL)offering by fire to the Lord. 12 (AM)As an offering of first fruits you shall bring them to the Lord, but they shall not ascend for a soothing aroma on the altar. 13 Every grain offering of yours, moreover, you shall season with salt, so that (AN)the salt of the covenant of your God shall not be lacking from your grain offering; with all your offerings you shall offer salt.
14 ‘Also if you bring a grain offering of early ripened things to the Lord, you shall bring (AO)fresh heads of grain roasted in the fire, grits of new growth, for the grain offering of your early ripened things. 15 You shall then put oil on it and lay incense on it; it is a grain offering. 16 The priest shall offer up in smoke (AP)its memorial portion, part of its grits and its oil with all its incense as an offering by fire to the Lord.
The Law of Peace Offerings
3 ‘Now if his offering is a (AQ)sacrifice of peace offerings, if he is going to offer out of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it (AR)without defect before the Lord. 2 (AS)He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and (AT)slay it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood around on the altar. 3 From the sacrifice of the peace offerings he shall present an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, 4 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the [h]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. 5 Then (AU)Aaron’s sons shall offer it up in smoke on the altar (AV)on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire; (AW)it is an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord. 6 But if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord is from the flock, he shall offer it, male or female, (AX)without defect. 7 If he is going to offer (AY)a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it (AZ)before the Lord, 8 and (BA)he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and (BB)slay it before the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons shall (BC)sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 9 From the (BD)sacrifice of peace offerings he shall bring as an offering by fire to the Lord, its fat, [i]the entire fat tail which he shall remove close to the backbone, and the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, 10 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the [j]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove (BE)with the kidneys. 11 Then the priest shall offer it up in smoke (BF)on the altar as (BG)food, an offering by fire to the Lord.
12 ‘Moreover, if his offering is (BH)a goat, then he shall offer it before the Lord, 13 and he shall lay his hand on its head and slay it before the tent of meeting, and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 14 From it he shall present his offering as an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, 15 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the [k]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove (BI)with the kidneys. 16 The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire for a soothing aroma; (BJ)all fat is the Lord’s. 17 It is a (BK)perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall not eat any fat (BL)or any blood.’”
Crowds Healed
29 (A)And immediately after they came (B)out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with [a]James and John. 30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they *spoke to [b]Jesus about her. 31 And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she [c]waited on them.
32 (C)When evening came, (D)after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were (E)demon-possessed. 33 And the whole (F)city had gathered at the door. 34 And He (G)healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35 (H)In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and (I)was praying there. 36 Simon and his companions searched for Him; 37 they found Him, and *said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” 38 He *said to them, “Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may [d]preach there also; for that is what I came for.” 39 (J)And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, [e]preaching and casting out the demons.
40 (K)And a leper *came to Jesus, beseeching Him and (L)falling on his knees before Him, and saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” 41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and *said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. 43 And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away, 44 and He *said to him, “(M)See that you say nothing to anyone; but (N)go, show yourself to the priest and (O)offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 45 But he went out and began to (P)proclaim it freely and to (Q)spread the news around, to such an extent that [f]Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but [g]stayed out in unpopulated areas; and (R)they were coming to Him from everywhere.
The Paralytic Healed
2 When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home. 2 And (S)many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them. 3 (T)And they *came, bringing to Him a (U)paralytic, carried by four men. 4 Being unable to [h]get to Him because of the crowd, they (V)removed the roof [i]above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the (W)paralytic was lying. 5 And Jesus seeing their faith *said to the paralytic, “[j]Son, (X)your sins are forgiven.” 6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; (Y)who can forgive sins [k]but God alone?” 8 Immediately Jesus, aware [l]in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, *said to them, “Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the (Z)paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk’? 10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He *said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home.” 12 And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and (AA)were glorifying God, saying, “(AB)We have never seen anything like this.”
17 Lord, (A)how long will You look on?
Rescue my soul (B)from their ravages,
My (C)only life from the lions.
18 I will (D)give You thanks in the great congregation;
I will (E)praise You among a mighty throng.
19 (F)Do not let those who are wrongfully (G)my enemies rejoice over me;
Nor let those (H)who hate me without cause [a](I)wink maliciously.
20 For they do not speak peace,
But they devise (J)deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
21 They (K)opened their mouth wide against me;
They said, “(L)Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!”
22 (M)You have seen it, O Lord, (N)do not keep silent;
O Lord, (O)do not be far from me.
23 (P)Stir up Yourself, and awake to my right
And to my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 (Q)Judge me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness,
And (R)do not let them rejoice over me.
25 Do not let them say in their heart, “(S)Aha, our desire!”
Do not let them say, “We have (T)swallowed him up!”
26 Let (U)those be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress;
Let those be (V)clothed with shame and dishonor who (W)magnify themselves over me.
13 The [a]woman of folly is (A)boisterous,
She is [b]naive and (B)knows nothing.
14 She sits at the doorway of her house,
On a seat by (C)the high places of the city,
15 Calling to those who pass by,
Who are making their paths straight:
16 “(D)Whoever is [c]naive, let him turn in here,”
And to him who lacks [d]understanding she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet;
And (E)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that the [e]dead are there,
That her guests are in the (F)depths of Sheol.
