Old Testament

Leviticus 2-4

^2:1"'When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it. ^2:2He shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests; and he shall take his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. ^2:3That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'. It is a most holy thing of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.

^2:4"'When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. ^2:5If your offering is a meal offering of the baking pan, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed with oil. ^2:6You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is a meal offering. ^2:7If your offering is a meal offering of the frying pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. ^2:8You shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to Yahweh: and it shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. ^2:9The priest shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. ^2:10That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'. It is a thing most holy of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.

^2:11"'No meal offering, which you shall offer to Yahweh, shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to Yahweh. ^2:12As an offering of firstfruits you shall offer them to Yahweh: but they shall not come up for a sweet savor on the altar. ^2:13Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.

^2:14"'If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to Yahweh, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear. ^2:15You shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it: it is a meal offering. ^2:16The priest shall burn as its memorial, part of its bruised grain, and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

^3:1"'If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offerings; if he offers it from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before Yahweh. ^3:2He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tent of meeting: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood on the altar round about. ^3:3He shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to Yahweh; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, ^3:4and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. ^3:5Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.

^3:6"'If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh is from the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. ^3:7If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before Yahweh; ^3:8and he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the tent of meeting: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle its blood on the altar round about. ^3:9He shall offer from the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to Yahweh; its fat, the entire tail fat, he shall take away close to the backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, ^3:10and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. ^3:11The priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to Yahweh.

^3:12"'If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before Yahweh: ^3:13and he shall lay his hand on its head, and kill it before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood on the altar round about. ^3:14He shall offer from it as his offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, ^3:15and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. ^3:16The priest shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savor; all the fat is Yahweh's.

^3:17"'It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.'"

^4:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ^4:2"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them: ^4:3if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to Yahweh for a sin offering. ^4:4He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before Yahweh. ^4:5The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting. ^4:6The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before Yahweh, before the veil of the sanctuary. ^4:7The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting; and he shall pour out all the blood of the bull out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. ^4:8He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, ^4:9and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away, ^4:10as it is taken off of the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. ^4:11The bull's skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung, ^4:12even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

^4:13"'If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and are guilty; ^4:14when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting. ^4:15The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh; and the bull shall be killed before Yahweh. ^4:16The anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting: ^4:17and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before Yahweh, before the veil. ^4:18He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. ^4:19All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar. ^4:20Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven. ^4:21He shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

^4:22"'When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which Yahweh his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty; ^4:23if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish. ^4:24He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before Yahweh. It is a sin offering. ^4:25The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. ^4:26All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.

^4:27"'If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and is guilty; ^4:28if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned. ^4:29He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering. ^4:30The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. ^4:31All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from off of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a sweet savor to Yahweh; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

^4:32"'If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish. ^4:33He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering. ^4:34The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. ^4:35All its fat he shall take away, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.

New Testament

Luke 10

^10:1Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he was about to come. ^10:2Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest. ^10:3Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. ^10:4Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way. ^10:5Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.' ^10:6If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. ^10:7Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don't go from house to house. ^10:8Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you. ^10:9Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.' ^10:10But into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go out into the streets of it and say, ^10:11'Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.' ^10:12I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

^10:13"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. ^10:14But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. ^10:15You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. ^10:16Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."

^10:17The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!"

^10:18He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven. ^10:19Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you. ^10:20Nevertheless, don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

^10:21In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."

^10:22Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."

^10:23Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see, ^10:24for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn't see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn't hear them."

^10:25Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

^10:26He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

^10:27He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

^10:28He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."

^10:29But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"

^10:30Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. ^10:31By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. ^10:32In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. ^10:33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, ^10:34came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ^10:35On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.' ^10:36Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"

^10:37He said, "He who showed mercy on him."

Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

^10:38It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. ^10:39She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. ^10:40But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."

^10:41Jesus answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, ^10:42but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
