22 Therefore, Moses returned to the LORD and said, “LORD, why have you afflicted this people? Why have you sent me?
23 “For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he has troubled this people. And yet, You have not delivered Your people.”
6 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For by a strong hand, he shall let them go, and even be constrained to drive them out of his land.”
2 Moreover, God spoke to Moses, and said to him, “I am the LORD.
3 “And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob by the Name of Almighty God. But by My Name, ‘Jehovah’, I was not known to them.
4 “Furthermore, as I made My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan (the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers),
5 “so I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage. And I have remembered My covenant.
6 “Therefore, say to the children of Israel, ‘I am the LORD; and I will bring you out from the burdens of the Egyptians, and will deliver you out of their bondage, and will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and in great judgments.’
7 “Also, I will take you for My people, and will be your God. Then you shall know that I, the LORD your God, brings you out from the burdens of the Egyptians.
8 “And I will bring you into the land which I swore that I would give to Abraham, and to Isaac, and to Jacob. And I will give it to you for a possession. I am the LORD.”
9 So, Moses told this to the children of Israel. But they did not listen to Moses, because of anguish of spirit and cruel bondage.
10 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
11 “Go tell Pharaoh, King of Egypt, to let the children of Israel go out of his land.”
12 But Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. The children of Israel do not listen to me. How then shall Pharaoh hear me?”
13 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and charged them to go to the children of Israel and to Pharaoh, King of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
14 These are the heads of their father’s houses. The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, are Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These are the families of Reuben.
15 Also, the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul (the son of a Canaanitish woman). These are the families of Simeon.
16 These, also, are the names of the sons of Levi, in their generations: Gershon and Kohath and Merari (and the years of the life of Levi were a hundred thirty-seven years).
17 The sons of Gershon were Libni and Shimi, by their families,
18 and the sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel. And Kohath lived a hundred thirty-three years.
19 Also, the sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of Levi and their kindreds.
20 And Amram took Jochebed, his father’s sister, to be his wife. And she bore him Aaron and Moses. And Amram lived a hundred thirty-seven years.
21 Also, the sons of Izhar were Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
22 And the sons of Uzziel were Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
23 And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, to be his wife. She bore him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
24 Also, the sons of Korah were Assir, and Elkanah and Abiasaph. These are the families of the Korahites.
25 And Eleazar, Aaron’s son, took one of the daughters of Putiel to be his wife, who bore him Phinehas. These are the principal fathers of the Levites, throughout their families.
26 These are Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, “Bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their armies.”
27 These are that Moses and Aaron who spoke to Pharaoh, King of Egypt, that they might bring the children of Israel out of Egypt.
28 And at that time—when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt—
29 the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “I am the LORD. Speak to Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, all that I say to you.”
30 Then Moses said before the LORD, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How, then, shall Pharaoh hear me?”
7 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as Pharaoh’s god. And your brother, Aaron, shall be your prophet.
2 “You shall speak all that I commanded you. And Aaron, your brother, shall tell Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 “But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart and multiply My miracles and My wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 “And Pharaoh shall not listen to you, so that I may lay My hand upon Egypt and bring My armies (My people, the children of Israel) out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 “Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.”
6 Then, Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so they did.
7 Now, Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 And the LORD had spoken to Moses and Aaron, saying,
9 “If Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves’, then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh.’ And it shall be turned into a serpent.”
10 Then Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. And Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it was turned into a serpent.
11 Then, Pharaoh also called for the wise men and sorcerers. And those charmers of Egypt also did the same with their enchantments.
12 For every man cast down his rod, and they were turned into serpents. But Aaron’s rod devoured their rods.
13 So, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is obstinate. He refuses to let the people go.
15 “Go to Pharaoh in the morning (lo, he will come forth to the water); and you shall stand and meet him by the river’s edge. And you shall take in your hand the rod which was turned into a serpent.
16 “And you shall say to him, ‘The LORD God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go so that they may serve Me in the wilderness.” And behold, you would not hear until now.
17 ‘Thus says the LORD: “In this you shall know that I am the LORD!” Behold, with the rod that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the river; and it shall be turned into blood.’
18 “And the fish that is in the river shall die. And the river shall stink. And it shall grieve the Egyptians to drink of the water of the river.”
19 The LORD then spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, and over their ponds, and over all pools of their waters; and they shall be blood.’ And there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and of stone.”
20 So, Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD commanded. And he lifted up the rod and struck the water that was in the river in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants. And all the water that was in the river was turned into blood.
21 And the fish that were in the river died, and the river stank, so that the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river. And there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.
22 And the enchanters of Egypt did the same with their sorceries. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that he did not listen to them (as the LORD had said).
23 Then Pharaoh returned and went back into his house; and this still did not enter into his heart.
24 All the Egyptians then dug all around the river for waters to drink (for they could not drink the water of the river).
25 And this continued a full seven days after the LORD had struck the river.
21 Then Peter came to Him, and said, “Master, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I shall forgive him - up to seven times?”
22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, ‘Up to seven times’, but, ‘Up to seventy times seven times’.
23 “Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain King, who would take an account of his servants.
24 “And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 “And because he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold - and his wife, and children, and all that he had - and the debt to be paid.
26 “Therefore, the servant fell down and worshipped him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me and I will pay you all!’
27 “Then that servant’s lord had compassion and freed him. And forgave him the debt.
28 “But when the servant had departed, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. And he laid hands on him, and choked him, saying, ‘Pay me that you owe!’
29 “Then his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all!’
30 “But he would not. And went and cast him into prison, until he should pay the debt.
31 “And when his other fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry. And they came and declared to their lord all that was done.
32 “Then his lord called him, and said to him, ‘O evil servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
33 “‘Ought not you also have had pity on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?’
34 “So his lord was angry, and delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 “So likewise shall My Heavenly Father do to you, unless you forgive - from your hearts - each one his brother their trespasses.”
19 And it happened that when Jesus had finished these sayings, He departed from Galilee, and came into the region of Judea beyond Jordan.
2 And great multitudes followed Him. And He healed them there.
3 Then the Pharisees came to Him, tempting Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife upon every occasion?”
4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He Who made them at the beginning, made them male and female;
5 “and said, ‘For this reason, a man shall leave father and mother, and cling to his wife. And those who were two, shall be one flesh?’
6 “Therefore, they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore, do not let man separate that which God has coupled together.”
7 They said to Him, “Why, then, did Moses command to give a Bill of Divorcement, and to send her away?”
8 He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your heart, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives. But from the beginning it was not so.
9 “Therefore, I say to you that whoever shall divorce his wife and marry another, unless it is for promiscuity, commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorcee ́, commits adultery.”
10 His disciples said to Him, “If it is so between man and wife, it is not good to marry.”
11 But He said to them, “All men cannot receive this thing. Only those to whom it is given.
12 “For there are some eunuchs who were so born from their mother’s belly. And there are some eunuchs who are gelded by men. And there be some eunuchs who have gelded themselves for the Kingdom of Heaven. The one who is able to receive this, let him receive it.”
23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to rest in green pasture and leads me by the still waters.
3 He restores my soul and leads me in the paths of righteousness, for His Name’s sake.
4 Indeed, though I should walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For You are with me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the sight of my adversaries. You anoint my head with oil; and my cup runs over.
6 Doubtless, kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I shall remain in the House of the LORD forever. A Psalm of David.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked, himself, and he shall be seized with the cords of his own sin.
23 He shall die for lack of instruction, and shall go astray through his great folly.
