29 You shall also do this thing to them when you consecrate them to be My Priests: Take a young calf and two rams, without blemish,
2 “and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes (tempered with oil), and unleavened wafers (made from fine wheat flour and anointed with oil).
3 “Then you shall put them in one basket, and present them in the basket with the calf and the two rams,
4 “and shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and wash them with water.
5 “Also, you shall take the garments and put the tunic upon Aaron, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate; and you shall fasten them to him with the ingenious band of the ephod.
6 “Then you shall put the turban upon his head and shall put the holy crown upon the turban.
7 “And you shall take the anointing oil and shall pour it upon his head and anoint him.
8 “And you shall bring his sons and put coats upon them,
9 “and shall bind them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and shall put the hats on them. And the Priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual Law. So you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10 “Afterward, you shall present the calf before the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the calf.
11 “So shall you kill the calf before the LORD, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
12 “Then you shall take from the blood of the calf and put it upon the horns of the Altar with your finger and shall pour all of the blood out at the foot of the Altar.
13 “Also, you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the lobe upon the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shall burn them upon the Altar.
14 “But the flesh of the calf, and its skin, and its dung you shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering.
15 “You shall also take one ram. And Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
16 “Then you shall kill the ram and take its blood, and sprinkle it all around, upon the Altar,
17 “And you shall cut the ram in pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and shall put them upon its pieces, and upon its head.
18 “So you shall burn the whole ram upon the Altar. It is a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to the LORD. It is an offering made to the LORD by fire.
19 “And you shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
20 “Then you shall kill the ram and take from its blood and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s ear, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot. And you shall sprinkle the blood upon the Altar, all around.
21 “And you shall take from the blood that is upon the Altar, and from the anointing oil, and shall sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him. So shall he be sanctified, and his clothes, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
22 “Also, you shall take the fat and the rump from the rams, even the fat that covers the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder (for it is the ram of consecration),
23 “and one loaf of bread, and one cake of bread (tempered with oil), and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD.
24 “And you shall put all this in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons, and shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.
25 “You shall receive them back from their hands and burn them upon the Altar as a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the LORD. This is an offering made by fire to the LORD.
26 “Likewise, you shall take the breast of the ram of the consecration which is for Aaron, and shall wave it as a wave offering before the LORD. And it shall be your portion.
27 “And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering which was waved, and which was raised up from the ram of the consecration (which was for Aaron and which was for his sons).
28 “And Aaron and his sons shall have it by a statute, forever, of the children of Israel. For it is a heave offering; and it shall be a heave offering of the children of Israel (from their peace offerings), their heave offering to the LORD.
29 “And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated therein.
30 “That son who shall become Priest in his place, shall put them on for seven days, whenever he comes into the Tabernacle of the Congregation to minister in the Holy Place.
31 “And you shall take the ram of the consecration and boil his flesh in the Holy Place.
32 “And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
33 “They shall eat these things by which their atonement was made, to consecrate them, and to sanctify them. But a stranger shall not eat of them, because they are holy things.
34 “Now if nothing of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains until the morning, then you shall burn the rest with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is a holy thing.
35 “You shall do to Aaron and to his sons according to all things which I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them for seven days.
36 “And every day you shall offer a calf for a sin offering, for reconciliation. And you shall cleanse the Altar after you have offered upon it for reconciliation, and shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
37 “Seven days shall you cleanse the Altar and sanctify it, so that the Altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the Altar, must be holy.
38 “Now this is that which you shall present upon the altar: two lambs of one year old, day by day, continually.
39 “You shall present one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you shall present at twilight.
40 “And with one lamb, mingle one tenth of an ephah of fine flour with one fourth of a hin of beaten oil and one fourth of a hin of wine, for a drink offering.
41 “And the other lamb you shall present at twilight. You shall do so according to the offering of the morning and according to the drink offering, to be a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to the LORD.
42 “This shall be a continually burnt offering, in your generations, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the LORD, where I will meet with you, to speak to you.
43 “There I will meet with the children of Israel, and the place shall be sanctified by My Glory.
44 “And I will sanctify the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar. I will also sanctify Aaron and his sons, to be My Priests,
45 “And I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God.
46 “Then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, Who brought them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.
30 Furthermore, you shall make an Altar for sweet incense. You shall make it of shittim wood,
2 “a cubit in length, and a cubit in width (it shall be square) and two cubits in height. Its horns shall be from the same piece.
3 “And you shall overlay it with fine gold, on the top and on the sides, all around, and its horns. Also, you shall make a border of gold all around.
4 “Besides this, you shall make two golden rings under this border, on either side. You shall make them on every side, so that they may be as places for the poles to bear it.
5 “You shall make the poles of shittim wood and shall cover them with gold.
6 “Afterward, you shall set it before the veil that is near the Ark of the Testimony, before the Mercy Seat that is upon the Testimony, where I will meet with you.
7 “And Aaron shall burn sweet incense on it every morning. When he tends his lamps, he shall burn it.
8 “Likewise at twilight, when Aaron sets up his lamps, he shall burn incense. This perfume shall be perpetually before the LORD, throughout your generations.
9 “You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt sacrifice, nor offering, nor pour any drink offering on it.
10 “And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering, on the Day of Reconciliation. Once a year, he shall make reconciliation upon it, throughout your generations. This is Most Holy to the LORD.”
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
15 and said, “What will you give me to deliver Him to you?” And they gave him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time, he sought an opportunity to betray Him.
17 Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where would You like us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Master says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples”.’”
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had told them and made ready the Passover.
20 And when evening came, He sat down with the twelve.
21 And as they ate, He said, “Truly I say to you that one of you shall betray Me.”
22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each one of them began to say to Him, “Is it me, Master!?”
23 And He answered and said, “The one who has dipped his hand in the dish with Me, he shall betray Me.
24 “Surely the Son of Man goes his way, as it is written of Him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It had been good for that man if he had never been born.”
25 Then Judas (who betrayed Him) answered, and said, “Is it me, Master?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
26 And as they ate, Jesus took the bread. And when He had blessed it, He broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take. Eat. This is My body.”
27 Also He took the cup. And when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink all of it.
28 “For this is My blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins.
29 “I say to you that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine again until that Day when I shall drink it new with you in My Father’s Kingdom.”
30 And when they had sung a Psalm, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Then said Jesus to them, “All of you will fall away from Me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.’
32 “But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.”
33 But Peter answered, and said to Him, “Even if all should fall away from You, I will never fall away.”
34 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny Me three times.
35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I should die with You, I would in no way deny You!” And so also said all the disciples.
36 Then Jesus went with them into a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, “Sit here, while I go and pray over there.”
37 And He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him; and began to be sorrowful, and greatly distressed.
38 Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is very heavy, even to the death. Wait here, and watch with Me.”
39 So He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O, My Father. If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
40 Afterward, He came to the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, “What?! Could you not watch with Me one hour?!
41 “Watch, and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed ready, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again He went away a second time, and prayed, saying, “O, My Father! If this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Still sleeping, and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand. And the Son of Man is given into the hands of sinners.
46 “Rise. Let us go. Behold, the one who betrays Me is here.”
19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You; and done to those who trust in You before the sons of men!
20 You hide them from the pride of men in the secret place of Your presence. You keep them secretly in Your Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD. For He has shown His marvelous kindness toward me in a strong city.
22 Though I said in my haste, “I am cast out of Your sight!” Still, You heard the voice of my prayer when I cried to You.
23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful and abundantly repays the proud.
24 All you who trust in the LORD, be strong; and He shall establish your heart. A Psalm of David, to give instruction.
14 “I have counsel and wisdom. I am understanding. I have strength.
15 “By me kings reign and princes decree justice.
16 “By me princes rule; and the nobles; and all the judges of the Earth.
17 “I love those who love me. And those who seek me early shall find me.
18 “Riches and honor are with me, durable riches and righteousness.
19 “My fruit is better than gold—than fine gold—and my revenues better than fine silver.
20 “I cause to walk in the way of righteousness; in the midst of the paths of judgment,
21 “that I may cause those who love me to inherit substance. And I will fill their treasures.
22 “The LORD has possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old.
23 “I was set up from everlasting; from the beginning, before the Earth.
24 “I was begotten when there were no depths; when there were no fountains abounding with water;
25 “before the mountains were settled. Before the hills, was I begotten.
26 “He had not yet made the Earth, nor the open places, nor the height of the dust in the world.
