Deuteronomy

1
¶Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king
of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle
at Edrei. 2 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will
deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and
thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites,
which dwelt at Heshbon. 3 So the LORD our God delivered into our
hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote
him until none was left to him remaining. 4 And we took all his
cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from
them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of
Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates,
and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many. 6 And we utterly destroyed
them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the
men, women, and children, of every city. 7 But all the cattle, and
the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. 8 And
we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites
the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto
mount Hermon; 9 (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the
Amorites call it Shenir;) 10 All the cities of the plain, and all
Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom
of Og in Bashan. 11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant
of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not
in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length
thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a
man.
12 ¶And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer,
which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities
thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13 And the
rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I
unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all
Bashan, which was called the land of giants. 14 Jair the son of
Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri
and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair,
unto this day. 15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir. 16 And unto the
Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the
river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river
Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; 17 The plain
also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto
the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward.
18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath
given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before
your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the
war. 19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for
I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which
I have given you; 20 Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren,
as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which
the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall
ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.
21 ¶And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have
seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings:
so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight
for you. 23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying, 24 O Lord
GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy
mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can
do according to thy works, and according to thy might? 25 I pray
thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan,
that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. 26 But the LORD was wroth with
me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto
me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. 27
Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward,
and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine
eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 28 But charge Joshua,
and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before
this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou
shalt see. 29 So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.

Proverbs
30

1 ¶The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man
spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal, 2 Surely I am more
brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. 3
I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. 4
Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered
the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who
hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and
what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? 5 Every word of God
is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found
a liar.
7 ¶Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I
die: 8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty
nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: 9 Lest I be full,
and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and
steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
10 ¶Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and
thou be found guilty. 11 There is a generation that curseth their
father, and doth not bless their mother. 12 There is a generation
that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their
filthiness. 13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes!
and their eyelids are lifted up. 14 There is a generation, whose
teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the
poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
15 ¶The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There
are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say
not, It is enough: 16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth
that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is
enough. 17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to
obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and
the young eagles shall eat it.
18 ¶There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four
which I know not: 19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of
a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea;
and the way of a man with a maid. 20 Such is the way of an adulterous
woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done
no wickedness. 21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and
for four which it cannot bear: 22 For a servant when he reigneth;
and a fool when he is filled with meat; 23 For an odious woman when
she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24 ¶There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they
are exceeding wise: 25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they
prepare their meat in the summer; 26 The conies are but a feeble
folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; 27 The locusts have
no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; 28 The spider taketh
hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
29 ¶There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in
going: 30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not
away for any; 31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against
whom there is no rising up. 32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting
up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy
mouth. 33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and
the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of
wrath bringeth forth strife.

1 ¶Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his
hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father,
having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto
the end. 2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into
the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; 3 Jesus
knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and
that he was come from God, and went to God; 4 He riseth from supper,
and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the
disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was
girded. 6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him,
Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered and said unto him,
What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 8
Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered
him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9 Simon Peter
saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my
head. 10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save
to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but
not all. 11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he,
Ye are not all clean. 12 So after he had washed their feet, and
had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them,
Know ye what I have done to you? 13 Ye call me Master and Lord:
and ye say well; for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Master,
have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have
done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not
greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that
sent him. 17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
18 ¶I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that
the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath
lifted up his heel against me. 19 Now I tell you before it come,
that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20 Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth
me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 21 When
Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray
me. 22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom
he spake. 23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples,
whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that
he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 25 He then lying
on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 26 Jesus answered,
He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And
when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son
of Simon. 27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said
Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 28 Now no man at the
table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. 29 For some of
them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto
him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or,
that he should give something to the poor. 30 He then having received
the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
31 ¶Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son
of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God be glorified
in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway
glorify him. 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you.
Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye
cannot come; so now I say to you. 34 A new commandment I give unto
you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also
love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another.
36 ¶Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered
him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt
follow me afterwards. 37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I
follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. 38 Jesus
answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily,
I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied
me thrice.

1 ¶Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also
in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And
if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive
you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 ¶And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith
unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know
the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known
me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye
know him, and have seen him. 8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew
us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have
I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then,
Shew us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father,
and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not
of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or
else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 ¶Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the
works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall
he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask
in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in
the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 ¶If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the
Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide
with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot
receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know
him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 ¶I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet
a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because
I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I
am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21 He that hath my
commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he
that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him,
and will manifest myself to him. 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot,
Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not
unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love
me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will
come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me
not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine,
but the Father's which sent me.
25 ¶These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with
you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid.
28 ¶Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again
unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go
unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have
told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass,
ye might believe. 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for
the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 31 But
that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father
gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
