22 And take (A)a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the [a]lintel, and the [b]door cheeks with the blood that is in the basin, and let none of you go out at the door of the house, until the morning.
23 For the Lord will pass by to smite the Egyptians: and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel and on the two door cheeks, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the [c]destroyer to come into your houses to plague you.
24 Therefore shall ye observe this thing as an ordinance, both for thee and thy sons forever.
25 And when ye shall come into the [d]land, which the Lord will give you, as he hath promised, then ye shall keep this [e]service.
26 (B)And when your children ask you, What service is this ye keep?
27 Then ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s Passover, which passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and preserved our houses. Then the people [f]bowed themselves and worshipped.
28 So the children of Israel went, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron: so did they.
29 ¶ Now at (C)midnight, the Lord [g]smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive that was in prison, and all the firstborn of beasts.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians: and there was a great cry in Egypt: for there was [h]no house where there was not one dead.
31 And he called to Moses and to Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you out from among my people, both ye, and the children of Israel, and go serve the Lord as ye have said.
32 Take also your sheep and your cattle as ye have said, and depart, and [i]bless me also.
33 And the Egyptians did force the people, because they would send them out of the land in haste: for they said, We die all.
34 Therefore the people took their dough before it was leavened, even their dough bound in clothes upon their shoulders.
35 And the children of Israel did according to the saying of Moses, and they asked of the Egyptians (D)jewels of silver and jewels of gold, and raiment.
36 And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and they [j]granted their request: so they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 Then the (E)children of Israel took their journey from [k]Rameses to Succoth about six hundred thousand men of foot, besides children.
38 And [l]a great multitude of sundry sorts of people went out with them, and sheep, and beeves, and cattle in great abundance.
39 And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt, and made unleavened cakes: for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, neither could they tarry, nor yet prepare themselves vittles.
40 ¶ So the dwelling of the children of Israel, while they dwelled in Egypt, was (F)four hundred and thirty years.
41 And when the [m]four hundred and thirty years were expired, even the selfsame day departed all the hosts of the Lord out of the land of Egypt.
42 It is a night to be kept holy to the Lord, because he brought them out of the land of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord, which all the children of Israel must keep throughout their generations.
43 Also the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the Law of the Passover: [n]no stranger shall eat thereof.
44 But every servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45 A stranger or an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46 (G)In one house shall it be eaten: thou shalt carry none of the flesh out of the house, (H)neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47 All the Congregation of Israel shall observe it.
48 But if a stranger dwell with thee, and will observe the passover of the Lord, let him circumcise all the males, that belong unto him, and then let him come and observe it, and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for none uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 One [o]law shall be to him that is born in the land, and to the stranger that dwelleth among you.
50 Then all the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron: so did they.
51 And the selfsame day did the Lord bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
15 The parable of the lost sheep. 8 Of the groat, 12 And of the prodigal son.
1 Then [a]resorted unto [b]him [c]all the Publicans and sinners, to hear him.
2 Therefore the Pharisees and Scribes murmured, saying, He receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Then spake he this parable to them, saying,
4 (A)What man of you having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders with joy.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me: for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven for one sinner that converteth, more than for ninety and nine just men, which need none amendment of life.
8 Either what woman having ten groats, if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends, and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me: for I have found the groat which I had lost.
10 Likewise I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that converteth.
11 ¶ [d]He said moreover, A certain man had two sons,
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of the goods that falleth to me. So he divided unto them his substance.
13 So not many days after, when the younger son had gathered all together, he took his journey into a far country, and there he wasted his goods with riotous living.
14 Now when he had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessity.
15 Then he went and clave to a citizen of that country, and he sent him to his farm, to feed swine.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine ate: but no man gave them him.
17 [e]Then he came to himself, and said, How many hired servants at my father’s have bread enough, and I die for hunger?
18 I will rise and go to my father, and say unto him, Father, I have sinned against [f]heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thine hired servants.
20 So he arose and came to his father, and when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 [g]And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 Then the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet,
23 And bring the fat calf, and kill him, and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merry.
25 [h]Now the elder brother was in the field, and when he came and drew near to the house, he heard melody, and dancing,
26 And called one of his servants, and asked what those things meant.
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fat calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 Then he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.
29 But he answered, and said to his father, Lo, these many years have I done thee service, neither brake I at anytime thy commandment, and yet thou never gavest me a kid that I might make merry with my friends.
30 But when this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy goods with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calf.
31 And he said unto him, Son thou art ever with me, and all that I have, is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again: and he was lost, but he is found.
30 1 Job complaineth that he is contemned of the most contemptible, 11, 21 because of his adversity and affliction. 23 Death is the house of all flesh.
1 But now they that are younger than I, [a]mock me: yea, they whose fathers I have refused to set with the [b]dogs of my flocks.
2 For whereto should the strength of their hands have served me, seeing age [c]perished in them?
3 For poverty and famine they were solitary, fleeing into the wilderness, which is dark, desolate and waste.
4 They cut up [d]nettles by the bushes, and the juniper roots was their meat.
5 They were [e]chased forth from among men: they shouted at them, as at a thief.
6 Therefore they dwelt in the clefts of rivers, in the holes of the earth and rocks.
7 They roared among the bushes, and under the thistles they gathered themselves.
8 They were the children of fools, and the children of villains, which were more vile than the earth.
9 And now am I their [f]song, and I am their talk.
10 They abhor me, and flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
11 Because that God hath loosed my [g]cord and humbled me, [h]they have loosed the bridle before me.
12 The youth rise up at my right hand: they have pushed my feet, and have trode on me as on the [i]paths of their destruction.
13 They have destroyed my paths: they took pleasure at my calamity, they had no [j]help.
14 They came as a great breach of waters, and [k]under this calamity they come on heaps.
15 Fear is turned upon me: and they pursue my soul as the wind, and mine health passeth away as a cloud.
16 Therefore my soul is now [l]poured out upon me, and the days of affliction have taken hold on me.
17 [m]It pierceth my bones in the night, and my sinews take no rest.
18 For the great vehemency is my garments changed, which compasseth me about, as the collar of my coat.
19 [n]He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like ashes and dust.
20 When I cry unto thee, thou dost not hear me, neither regardest me, when I stand up.
21 Thou turnest thyself [o]cruelly against me, and art enemy unto me with the strength of thine hand.
22 Thou takest me up and causest me to ride upon the [p]wind, and makest my [q]strength to fail.
23 Surely I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all the living.
24 Doubtless none can stretch his hand [r]unto the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
25 Did not I weep with him that was in trouble? was not my soul in heaviness for the poor?
26 Yet when I looked for good, [s]evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
27 My bowels did boil without rest: for the days of affliction are come upon me.
28 I went mourning [t]without sun: I stood up in the Congregation [u]and cried.
29 I am a brother to the [v]Dragons, and a companion to the Ostriches.
30 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burnt with [w]heat.
31 Therefore mine harp is turned to mourning, and mine organs into the voice of them that weep.
16 1 He exhorteth them to help the poor brethren of Jerusalem: 10 Then he commendeth Timothy, 13 and so with a friendly exhortation, 19 and commendations, endeth the Epistle.
1 Concerning [a]the gathering for the Saints, as I have ordained in the Churches of Galatia, so do ye also.
2 Every [b]first day of the week, let every one of you put aside by himself, and lay up as God hath [c]prospered him, that then there be no gatherings when I come.
3 And when I am come, whomsoever ye shall allow by [d]letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
4 [e]And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
5 Now I will come unto you, after I have gone through Macedonia (for I will pass through Macedonia.)
6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, or winter with you, that ye may bring me on my way, whithersoever I go.
7 For I will not see you now in my passage, but I trust to abide a while with you, if the Lord permit.
8 And I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great door and [f]effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10 ¶ Now if Timothy come, see that he be [g]without fear with you: for he worketh the work of the Lord, even as I do.
11 Let no man therefore despise him: but convey him forth [h]in peace, that he may come unto me: for I looked for him with the brethren.
12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his mind was not at all to come at this time: howbeit he will come when he shall have convenient time.
13 ¶ Watch ye: stand fast in the faith: quit you like men, and be strong.
14 Let all your things be done in love.
15 Now brethren, I beseech you (ye know the house of [i]Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have [j]given themselves to minister unto the Saints.)
16 That ye be [k]obedient even unto such, and to all that help with us and labor.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for they have supplied the want of you.
18 For they have comforted my [l]spirit and yours: [m]acknowledge therefore such men.
19 The Churches of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla with the Church that is in their house, salute you greatly in the Lord.
20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an (A)holy kiss.
21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be had in execration [n]maran-atha.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus, Amen.
The first Epistle to the Corinthians, written from Philippi, and sent by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timothy.
