Psalms
27
Of
David.
1
The
LORD is my light and my salvation--
whom
shall I fear?
The
LORD is the stronghold of my life--
of
whom shall I be afraid?
2
When
evil men advance against me
to
devour my flesh, A
when
my enemies and my foes attack me,
they
will stumble and fall.
3
Though
an army besiege me,
my
heart will not fear;
though
war break out against me,
even
then will I be confident.
4
One
thing I ask of the LORD,
this
is what I seek:
that
I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all
the days of my life,
to
gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and
to seek him in his temple.
5
For
in the day of trouble
he
will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he
will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and
set me high upon a rock.
6
Then
my head will be exalted
above
the enemies who surround me;
at
his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I
will sing and make music to the LORD. 1
7
Hear
my voice when I call, O LORD;
be
merciful to me and answer me.
8
My
heart says of you, "Seek his B
face!"
Your
face, LORD, I will seek.
9
Do
not hide your face from me,
do
not turn your servant away in anger;
you
have been my helper.
Do
not reject me or forsake me,
O
God my Savior.
10
Though
my father and mother forsake me,
the
LORD will receive me.
11
Teach
me your way, O LORD;
lead
me in a straight path
because
of my oppressors.
12
Do
not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for
false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing
out violence.
13
I
am still confident of this:
I
will see the goodness of the LORD
in
the land of the living.
14
Wait
for the LORD;
be
strong and take heart
and
wait for the LORD.
PSALMS:
57
1
Have
mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for
in you my soul takes refuge.
I
will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until
the disaster has passed.
2
I
cry out to God Most High,
to
God, who fulfills his purpose for me.
3
He
sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking
those who hotly pursue me;
Selah
God
sends his love and his faithfulness.
4
I
am in the midst of lions;
I
lie among ravenous beasts--
men
whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose
tongues are sharp swords.
5
Be
exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let
your glory be over all the earth.
6
They
spread a net for my feet--
I
was bowed down in distress.
They
dug a pit in my path--
but
they have fallen into it themselves.
Selah
2
7
My
heart is steadfast, O God,
my
heart is steadfast;
I
will sing and make music.
8
Awake,
my soul!
Awake,
harp and lyre!
I
will awaken the dawn.
9
I
will praise you, O Lord, among the nations;
I
will sing of you among the peoples.
10
For
great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your
faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11
Be
exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let
your glory be over all the earth. 3
PSALMS:
87
Of
the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.
1
He
has set his foundation on the holy mountain;
2
the
LORD loves the gates of Zion
more
than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3
Glorious
things are said of you,
O
city of God:
Selah
4
"I
will record Rahab A
and Babylon
among
those who acknowledge me--
Philistia
too, and Tyre, along with Cush B--
and
will say,
`This
C
one was born in Zion.'"
5
Indeed,
of Zion it will be said,
"This
one and that one were born in her,
and
the Most High himself will establish her."
6
The
LORD will write in the register of the peoples:
"This
one was born in Zion."
Selah
7
As
they make music they will sing,
PSALMS:

1
Praise
the LORD, all you nations;
extol
him, all you peoples.
2
For
great is his love toward us,
and
the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.
PSALMS:
147
1
Praise
the LORD. A
How
good it is to sing praises to our God,
how
pleasant and fitting to praise him!
2
The
LORD builds up Jerusalem;
he
gathers the exiles of Israel.
3
He
heals the brokenhearted
and
binds up their wounds.
4
He
determines the number of the stars
and
calls them each by name.
5
Great
is our Lord and mighty in power;
his
understanding has no limit.
6
The
LORD sustains the humble
but
casts the wicked to the ground.
7
Sing
to the LORD with thanksgiving;
make
music to our God on the harp.
8
He
covers the sky with clouds;
he
supplies the earth with rain
and
makes grass grow on the hills.
9
He
provides food for the cattle
and
for the young ravens when they call.
10
His
pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
nor
his delight in the legs of a man;
11
the
LORD delights in those who fear him,
who
put their hope in his unfailing love. 6
12
Extol
the LORD, O Jerusalem;
praise
your God, O Zion,
13
for
he strengthens the bars of your gates
and
blesses your people within you.
14
He
grants peace to your borders
and
satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
15
He
sends his command to the earth;
his
word runs swiftly.
16
He
spreads the snow like wool
and
scatters the frost like ashes.
17
He
hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who
can withstand his icy blast?
18
He
sends his word and melts them;
he
stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.
19
He
has revealed his word to Jacob,
his
laws and decrees to Israel.
20
He
has done this for no other nation;
they
do not know his laws.
Praise
the LORD. 7

Do not boast about tomorrow,
for
you do not know what a day may bring forth.
2
Let
another praise you, and not your own mouth;
someone
else, and not your own lips.
3
Stone
is heavy and sand a burden,
but
provocation by a fool is heavier than both.
4
Anger
is cruel and fury overwhelming,
but
who can stand before jealousy?
5
Better
is open rebuke
than
hidden love.
6
Wounds
from a friend can be trusted,
but
an enemy multiplies kisses.
7
He
who is full loathes honey,
but
to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.
8
Like
a bird that strays from its nest
is
a man who strays from his home.
9
Perfume
and incense bring joy to the heart,
and
the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.
10
Do
not forsake your friend and the friend of your father,
and
do not go to your brother's house when disaster strikes you--
better
a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
11
Be
wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart;
then
I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt. 8
12
The
prudent see danger and take refuge,
but
the simple keep going and suffer for it.
13
Take
the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold
it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman.
14
If
a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning,
it
will be taken as a curse.
15
A
quarrelsome wife is like
a
constant dripping on a rainy day;
16
restraining
her is like restraining the wind
or
grasping oil with the hand.
17
As
iron sharpens iron,
so
one man sharpens another.
18
He
who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and
he who looks after his master will be honored.
19
As
water reflects a face,
so
a man's heart reflects the man.
20
Death
and Destruction A
are never satisfied,
and
neither are the eyes of man.
21
The
crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,
but
man is tested by the praise he receives.
22
Though
you grind a fool in a mortar,
grinding
him like grain with a pestle,
you
will not remove his folly from him. 9
23
Be
sure you know the condition of your flocks,
give
careful attention to your herds;
24
for
riches do not endure forever,
and
a crown is not secure for all generations.
25
When
the hay is removed and new growth appears
and
the grass from the hills is gathered in,
26
the
lambs will provide you with clothing,
and
the goats with the price of a field.
27
You
will have plenty of goats' milk
to
feed you and your family
and
to nourish your servant girls. 10
OLD
TESTAMENT:
LEVITICUS 1:1 - 3:17
1
1
The
LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting. He
said,
2
"Speak
to the Israelites and say to them:
`When
any of you brings an offering to the LORD, bring as your offering an
animal from either the herd or the flock.
3
"`If
the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to offer a male
without defect.
He must present it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting so that it
A
will be acceptable to the LORD.
4
He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will
be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
5
He is to slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and then Aaron's
sons the priests shall bring the blood and sprinkle it against the
altar on all sides at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
6
He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
7
The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange
wood on the fire.
8
Then Aaron's sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the
head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the altar.
9
He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest
is to burn all of it on the altar.
It
is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to
the LORD.
10
"`If
the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the
sheep or the goats, he is to offer a male without defect.
11
He is to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the LORD,
and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the
altar on all sides.
12
He is to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them,
including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the
altar.
13
He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest
is to bring all of it and burn it on the altar.
It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing
to the LORD.
14
"`If
the offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to offer
a dove or a young pigeon.
15
The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off the head and burn
it on the altar;
its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.
16
He is to remove the crop with its contents B
and throw it to the east side of the altar, where the ashes are.
17
He
shall tear it open by the wings, not severing it completely, and then
the priest shall burn it on the wood that is on the fire on the
altar.
It
is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to
the LORD.
2
1
"`When
someone brings a grain offering to the LORD, his offering is to be of
fine flour. He is to pour oil on it, put incense on it 2
and take it to Aaron's sons the priests. The priest shall take a
handful of the fine flour and oil, together with all the incense, and
burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, an offering made by
fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
3
The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons;
it is a most holy part of the offerings made to the LORD by fire.
4
"`If
you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to consist of fine
flour:
cakes made without yeast and mixed with oil, or A
wafers 11
made
without yeast and spread with oil.
5
If your grain offering is prepared on a griddle, it is to be made of
fine flour mixed with oil, and without yeast.
6
Crumble it and pour oil on it;
it
is a grain offering.
7
If
your grain offering is cooked in a pan, it is to be made of fine
flour and oil.
8
Bring the grain offering made of these things to the LORD;
present it to the priest, who shall take it to the altar.
9
He shall take out the memorial portion from the grain offering and
burn it on the altar as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing
to the LORD.
10
The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons;
it is a most holy part of the offerings made to the LORD by fire.
11
"`Every
grain offering you bring to the LORD must be made without yeast, for
you are not to burn any yeast or honey in an offering made to the
LORD by fire.
12
You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of the firstfruits, but
they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma.
13
Season all your grain offerings with salt.
Do
not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain
offerings; add salt to all your offerings.
14
"`If
you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD, offer crushed
heads of new grain roasted in the fire.
15
Put oil and incense on it; it is a grain offering.
16
The
priest shall burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the
oil, together with all the incense, as an offering made to the LORD
by fire.
3
1
"`If
someone's offering is a fellowship offering,
A
and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he is
to present before the LORD an animal without defect.
2
He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at
the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Then Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood against the
altar on all sides.
3
From the fellowship offering he is to bring a sacrifice made to the
LORD by fire:
all
the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them,
4
both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of
the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys.
5
Then Aaron's sons are to burn it on the altar on top of the burnt
offering that is on the burning wood, as an offering made by fire, an
aroma pleasing to the LORD.
6
"`If
he offers an animal from the flock as a fellowship offering to the
LORD, he is to offer a male or female without defect.
7
If he offers a lamb, he is to present it before the LORD.
8
He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it in
front of the Tent of Meeting.
Then Aaron's sons shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all
sides.
9
From
the fellowship offering he is to bring a sacrifice made to the LORD
by fire:
its fat, the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, all the
fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them,
10
both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of
the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys.
11
The priest shall burn them on the altar as food, an offering made to
the LORD by fire.
12
12
"`If
his offering is a goat, he is to present it before the LORD.
13
He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the
Tent of Meeting.
Then Aaron's sons shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all
sides.
14
From what he offers he is to make this offering to the LORD by fire:
all the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them,
15
both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of
the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys.
16
The priest shall burn them on the altar as food, an offering made by
fire, a pleasing aroma. All the fat is the LORD's.
17
"`This
is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you
live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.'"
13
NEW
TESTAMENT:
MARK 1:29 - 2:12
29
As
soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the
home of Simon and Andrew. 30
Simon's
mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her.
31
So
he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her
and she began to wait on them.
32
That
evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and
demon-possessed. 33
The
whole town gathered at the door, 34
and
Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many
demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who
he was.
35
Very
early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the
house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. 36
Simon
and his companions went to look for him, 37
and
when they found him, they exclaimed: "Everyone is looking for
you!"
38
Jesus
replied, "Let
us go somewhere else--to the nearby villages--so I can preach there
also. That is why I have come."
39
So
he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and
driving out demons.
40
A
man with leprosy F
came to him and begged him on his knees, "If you are willing,
you can make me clean."
41
Filled
with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I
am willing,"
he said. "Be clean!" 42
Immediately
the leprosy left him and he was cured.
43
Jesus
sent him away at once with a strong warning: 44
"See
that you don't tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the
priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your
cleansing, as a testimony to them."
45
Instead
he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a
result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside
in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.
2
1
A
few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard
that he had come home. 2
So
many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door,
and he preached the word to them. 3
Some
men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 4
Since
they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an
opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it,
lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. 5
When
Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son,
your sins are forgiven."
6
Now
some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,
7
"Why
does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive
sins but God alone?" 14
8
Immediately
Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in
their hearts, and he said to them, "Why
are you thinking these things?
9
Which
is easier: to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to
say, `Get up, take your mat and walk'? 10
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to
forgive sins . . .
"He said to the paralytic, 11
"I
tell you, get up, take your mat and go home."
12
He
got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This
amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never
seen anything like this!"

John 3:16-21 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, F that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.G 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
