32 ¶ And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron and said unto him, Rise up, make us gods which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 Then all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears and brought them unto Aaron,
4 who took them from their hands and fashioned it with a graving tool and made of it a molten calf. Then they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 And seeing this, Aaron built an altar before the calf; and Aaron made a proclamation and said, Tomorrow shall be a feast unto the LORD.
6 And they rose up early on the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink and rose up to play.
7 ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go, descend; for thy people, which thou didst bring out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molten calf and have worshipped it and have sacrificed unto it and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9 The LORD further said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and for certain it is a stiffnecked people.
10 Now therefore let me alone that my wrath may wax hot in them and consume them; and I will put thee over a great nation.
11 Then Moses grieved before the LORD his God and said, LORD, why shall thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 Why should the Egyptians speak and say, For evil did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains and to consume them from upon the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath and repent of the evil of thy people.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy slaves, to whom thou didst sware by thine own self and hast said unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall take it for inheritance for ever.
14 Then the LORD repented of the evil which he said should be done unto his people.
15 ¶ And Moses turned and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand; the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
17 And Joshua, hearing the noise of the people as they shouted, said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 And he answered, It is not the voice of those that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of those that cry for being overcome, but the noise of those that sing that I hear.
19 And it came to pass as soon as he came near unto the camp and he saw the calf and the dances, anger caused Moses to wax hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mount.
20 And he took the calf which they had made and burnt it in the fire and ground it to powder and scattered it upon the waters and made the sons of Israel drink it.
21 ¶ And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people do unto thee that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22 And Aaron answered, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot; thou knowest the people that they are inclined to evil.
23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us, for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.
24 And I answered unto them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it to me and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.
25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies),
26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said, Who is on the LORD’s side? Come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
27 And he said unto them, Thus hath the LORD God of Israel said, Put every man his sword by his side and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp and slay each one his brother and his companion and his neighbour.
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses, and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
29 Then Moses had said, Today you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, for each one has consecrated in his son and in his brother, that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
30 ¶ And it came to pass on the next day that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin, but now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make reconciliation for your sin.
31 Then Moses returned unto the LORD and said, I pray thee, for, this people who have sinned a great sin and have made themselves gods of gold,
32 that thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me now out of thy book which thou hast written.
33 And the LORD answered unto Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, this one will I blot out of my book.
34 Therefore go now, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, my Angel shall go before thee; nevertheless in the day of my visitation I will visit their sin in them.
35 And the LORD smote the people because they had made the calf, which Aaron formed.
11 ¶ Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 (It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after that he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again.
8 His disciples said unto him, Rabbi, the Jews of late sought to stone thee, and goest thou there again?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble because he sees the light of this world.
10 But he who walks in the night stumbles because there is no light in him.
11 Having said that he said unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then his disciples said, Lord, if he sleeps, he shall be saved.
13 But Jesus had spoken of his death, and they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then Jesus said unto them plainly, Lazarus has died.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, in order that ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Then Thomas said, who is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us go also, that we may die with him.
17 ¶ Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Now Bethany was near unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him; but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then Martha said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.
22 But I know that even now whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it unto thee.
23 Jesus said unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection in the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I AM the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, though he is dead, yet shall he live;
26 and whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She said unto him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.
28 And having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calls for thee.
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came unto him.
30 (Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.)
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goes unto the grave to weep there.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.
33 ¶ When Jesus therefore saw her weeping and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he became enraged in the Spirit and stirred himself up
34 and said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then the Jews said, Behold how he loved him!
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have also caused that this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore, becoming enraged again in himself, came to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that had died, said unto him, Lord, by this time he stinks, for he has been dead four days.
40 Jesus said unto her, Did I not say unto thee that if thou wouldest believe thou shalt see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus, lifting up his eyes, said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always, but because of the people who stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And having said these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 Then he that had been dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 ¶ Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed on him.
46 But some of them went unto the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Then the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, What shall we do? for this man does many signs.
48 If we let him thus alone, everyone will believe on him, and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and the nation.
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all
50 nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation be lost.
51 And this he spoke not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
52 and not for that nation only, but that he should also gather together in one the sons of God that were scattered abroad.
53 So that from that day forth they took counsel together to kill him.
54 Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there unto a country near to the wilderness into a city called Ephraim and there continued with his disciples.
55 And the passover of the Jews was now at hand, and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover to purify themselves;
56 and they sought for Jesus and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Now both the high priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that if anyone knew where he was he should show it, that they might take him.
8 ¶ Doth not wisdom cry, and give her voice to intelligence?
2 She stands in the top of high places, by the way at the crossroads of the paths.
3 She cries at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of men.
5 O ye simple, understand prudence; and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear, for I will speak of excellent things, and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing perverse or twisted in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understands and right to those that have found wisdom.
10 Receive my chastening and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than precious stones; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 ¶ I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I invent the knowledge of giving counsel.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride, arrogancy, the evil way, and the perverse mouth, do I hate.
14 With me is counsel, and existence; I am understanding; strength belongs to me.
15 By me the kings reign, and the princes decree justice.
16 By me the princes rule, and all of the governors judge the earth.
17 I love those that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me, yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than precious stones, and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I shall lead in the way of righteousness in the midst of the paths of judgment,
21 that I may cause my friends to inherit existence and I will fill their treasures.
22 ¶ The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up with eternal dominion, from the beginning, before the earth was.
24 I was begotten before the depths, before the existence of the fountains of many waters.
25 Before the mountains were founded, before the hills was I begotten.
26 While as yet he had not made the earth nor the fields nor the beginning of the dust of the world,
27 when he composed the heavens, I was there. When he set a compass upon the face of the depth,
28 when he established the clouds above, when he strengthened the fountains of the deep,
29 when he gave to the sea his decree that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth,
30 I was with him ordering everything; I was his delight every day, being content before him at all times;
31 I am content in the circumference of his earth, and my contentment is with the sons of men.
32 ¶ Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye sons; for blessed are those that keep my ways.
33 Hearken unto chastening, and be wise; refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that hears me, keeping vigil at my gates, waiting at the threshold of my doors.
35 For whosoever finds me shall find life and shall obtain the will of the LORD.
36 But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those that hate me love death.
1 ¶ Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things in Christ;
4 according as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in charity;
5 having marked out beforehand the way for us to be adopted as sons by Jesus Christ in himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he has made us accepted in the beloved;
7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace,
8 which has over abounded in us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself,
10 that in the dispensation of the fulfillment of the times he might restore all things by the Christ, both those which are in heaven and those which are on earth,
11 in him in whom likewise we have obtained an inheritance, having had the way marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will,
12 so that we should be to the praise of his glory, those of us who first trusted in the Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, hearing the word of truth, the gospel of your saving health; in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of the promise,
14 which is the earnest of our inheritance unto the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 ¶ Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and charity unto all the saints,
16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
18 illuminating the eyes of your understanding, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power in us who believe, by the operation of the power of his strength,
20 which operated in the Christ, raising him from the dead and setting him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come,
22 And has put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the congregation, {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}
23 which is his body, and he is the fullness of her: who fills all things in everyone.
