1
¶Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem
in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father,
in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan
the Jebusite.
2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in
the fourth year of his reign.
3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the
building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first
measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of
it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and
the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within
with pure gold.
5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid
with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and
the gold was gold of Parvaim.
7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls
thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims
on the walls.
8 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according
to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof
twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six
hundred talents.
9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he
overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
10 ¶And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image
work, and overlaid them with gold.
11 And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing
of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house:
and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing
of the other cherub.
12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to
the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also,
joining to the wing of the other cherub.
13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits:
and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.
14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine
linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five
cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them
was five cubits.
16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads
of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on
the chains.
17 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right
hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on
the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

¶Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length
thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the
height thereof.
2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round
in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty
cubits did compass it round about.
3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it
round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two
rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and
three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south,
and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon
them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
5 And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it
like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and
it received and held three thousand baths.
6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five
on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the
burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests
to wash in.
7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form,
and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on
the left.
8 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on
the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons
of gold.
9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court,
and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against
the south.
11 ¶And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons.
And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon
for the house of God;
12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which
were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover
the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars;
13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of
pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters
which were upon the pillars.
14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;
15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their
instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house
of the LORD of bright brass.
17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground
between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the
weight of the brass could not be found out.
19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God,
the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was
set;
20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should
burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold,
and that perfect gold;
22 And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers,
of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof
for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple,
were of gold.

Ezekiel
40

1 ¶In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the
beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth
year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand
of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and
set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a
city on the south.
3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose
appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax
in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes,
and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall
shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art
thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of
Israel.
5 ¶And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about,
and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the
cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building,
one reed; and the height, one reed.
6 Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and
went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate,
which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which
was one reed broad.
7 And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad;
and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold
of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the
posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.
10 And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this
side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and
the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits;
and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12 The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this
side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers
were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
13 He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber
to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits,
door against door.
14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of
the court round about the gate.
15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of
the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.
16 And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to
their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches:
and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palm
trees.
17 Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were
chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty
chambers were upon the pavement.
18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length
of the gates was the lower pavement.
19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower
gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits
eastward and northward.
20 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north,
he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
21 And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three
on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were
after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty
cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
22 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were
after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and
they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were
before them.
23 And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward
the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate
an hundred cubits.
24 After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate
toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches
thereof according to these measures.
25 And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round
about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the
breadth five and twenty cubits.
26 And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof
were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another
on that side, upon the posts thereof.
27 ¶And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south:
and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he
measured the south gate according to these measures;
29 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the
arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows
in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits
long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
30 And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long,
and five cubits broad.
31 And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and palm
trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight
steps.
32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he
measured the gate according to these measures.
33 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the
arches thereof, were according to these measures: and there were
windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty
cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
34 And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm
trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side:
and the going up to it had eight steps.
35 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according
to these measures;
36 The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches
thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty
cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
37 And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees
were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and
the going up to it had eight steps.
38 And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of
the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
39 ¶And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side,
and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering
and the sin offering and the trespass offering.
40 And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the
north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at
the porch of the gate, were two tables.
41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side,
by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their
sacrifices.
42 And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering,
of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and
one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith
they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
43 And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and
upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
44 And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in
the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their
prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate
having the prospect toward the north.
45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the
south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
46 And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the
priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons
of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to
minister unto him.
47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred
cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.
48 And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each
post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on
that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this
side, and three cubits on that side.
49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven
cubits; and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it:
and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another
on that side.

1 ¶After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which
is the sea of Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles
which he did on them that were diseased.
3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come
unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that
these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would
do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient
for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto
him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small
fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass
in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed
to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down;
and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up
the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets
with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over
and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did,
said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the
world.
15 ¶When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and
take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a
mountain himself alone.
16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the
sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum.
And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs,
they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship:
and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately
the ship was at the land whither they went.
22 ¶The day following, when the people which stood on the other
side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that
one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not
with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone
away alone;
23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place
where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither
his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking
for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they
said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did
eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which
endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give
unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 ¶Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might
work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that
ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that
we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He
gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses
gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the
true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and
giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh
to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never
thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the
will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all
which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it
up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which
seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread
which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father
and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from
heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among
yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw
him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of
God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the
Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God,
he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may
eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I
will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this
man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except
ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have
no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me,
and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father:
so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers
did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall
live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 ¶Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this,
said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it,
he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was
before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from
the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray
him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come
unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no
more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou
hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son
of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of
you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that
should betray him, being one of the twelve.
