Leviticus
20

1 ¶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Again, thou shalt say
to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel,
or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his
seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of
the land shall stone him with stones. 3 And I will set my face against
that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he
hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and
to profane my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land do any
ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto
Molech, and kill him not: 5 Then I will set my face against that
man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that
go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among
their people. 6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar
spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even
set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his
people. 7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am
the LORD your God. 8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them:
I am the LORD which sanctify you. 9 For every one that curseth his
father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed
his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10 ¶And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife,
even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the
adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11 And
the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's
nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be upon them. 12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law,
both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion;
their blood shall be upon them. 13 If a man also lie with mankind,
as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:
they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they
shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness
among you. 15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be
put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. 16 And if a woman approach
unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman,
and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall
be upon them. 17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's
daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she
see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off
in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness;
he shall bear his iniquity. 18 And if a man shall lie with a woman
having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered
her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood:
and both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 19 And
thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor
of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall
bear their iniquity. 20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's
wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their
sin; they shall die childless. 21 And if a man shall take his brother's
wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness;
they shall be childless.
22 ¶Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments,
and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein,
spue you not out. 23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the
nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these
things, and therefore I abhorred them. 24 But I have said unto you,
Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess
it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your
God, which have separated you from other people. 25 Ye shall therefore
put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean
fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by
beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth
on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. 26 And
ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed
you from other people, that ye should be mine. 27 A man also or
woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely
be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood
shall be upon them.

129 ¶PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep
them.
130 ¶The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding
unto the simple.
131 ¶I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
132 ¶Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to
do unto those that love thy name.
133 ¶Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion
over me.
134 ¶Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
135 ¶Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
136 ¶Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not
thy law.
137 ¶TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very
faithful.
139 ¶My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten
thy words.
140 ¶Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
141 ¶I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
142 ¶Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy
law is the truth.
143 ¶Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments
are my delights. 144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting:
give me understanding, and I shall live.
145 ¶KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will
keep thy statutes. 146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep
thy testimonies.
147 ¶I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped
in thy word. 148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might
meditate in thy word.
149 ¶Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken
me according to thy judgment.
150 ¶They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from
thy law. 151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are
truth.
152 ¶Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast
founded them for ever.
153 ¶RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not
forget thy law. 154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according
to thy word.
155 ¶Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
156 ¶Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according
to thy judgments.
157 ¶Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline
from thy testimonies.
158 ¶I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept
not thy word.
159 ¶Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according
to thy lovingkindness.
160 ¶Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous
judgments endureth for ever.
161 ¶SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart
standeth in awe of thy word.
162 ¶I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
163 ¶I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
164 ¶Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous
judgments.
165 ¶Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall
offend them.
166 ¶LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
167 ¶My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways
are before thee.
169 ¶TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding
according to thy word. 170 Let my supplication come before thee:
deliver me according to thy word.
171 ¶My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
172 ¶My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments
are righteousness.
173 ¶Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. 174
I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
175 ¶Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments
help me.
176 ¶I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for
I do not forget thy commandments.

Luke

1 ¶Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius
Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee,
and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of
Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas
being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of
Zacharias in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all the country
about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission
of sins; 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the
prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare
ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every valley
shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low;
and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall
be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of
him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the
wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance,
and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father:
for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up
children unto Abraham. 9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root
of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good
fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 10 And the people asked
him, saying, What shall we do then? 11 He answereth and saith unto
them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none;
and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 12 Then came also publicans
to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 13
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed
you. 14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what
shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither
accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 ¶And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in
their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 16 John
answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water;
but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am
not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost
and with fire: 17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly
purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but
the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. 18 And many other
things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. 19 But Herod
the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's
wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 20 Added yet this
above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 ¶Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon
him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved
Son; in thee I am well pleased. 23 And Jesus himself began to be
about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph,
which was the son of Heli, 24 Which was the son of Matthat, which
was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the
son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, 25 Which was the son
of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum,
which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, 26 Which
was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was
the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son
of Juda, 27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa,
which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel,
which was the son of Neri, 28 Which was the son of Melchi, which
was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son
of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, 29 Which was the son of Jose,
which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which
was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, 30 Which was
the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son
of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,
31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which
was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was
the son of David, 32 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son
of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon,
which was the son of Naasson, 33 Which was the son of Aminadab,
which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was
the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, 34 Which was the son
of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham,
which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, 35 Which
was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the
son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of
Sala, 36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad,
which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the
son of Lamech, 37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the
son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel,
which was the son of Cainan, 38 Which was the son of Enos, which
was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son
of God.
