  • Psalms 143,144
    Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
    And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
    For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
    Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
    I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
    I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
    Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
    Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
    Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
    Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
    Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
    And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
    Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
    My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
    LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
    Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
    Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
    Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
    Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
    Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
    I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
    It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
    Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
    That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
    That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
    That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
    Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.

  • Leviticus 27
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation.
    And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
    And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
    And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
    And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
    And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
    But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
    And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
    He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
    And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
    And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
    But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
    And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
    And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
    And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
    If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
    But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
    And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
    And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
    But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.
    And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;
    Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.
    In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.
    And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
    Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD's.
    And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
    Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LOR

  • Luke 10
    After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
    Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
    Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
    Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
    And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
    And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
    And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
    And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
    And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
    But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
    Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
    But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
    Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
    But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
    And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
    He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
    And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
    And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
    Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
    Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
    In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
    All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
    And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
    For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
    And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
    He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
    And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
    And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
    But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
    And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
    And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
    And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

  • Psalms 140,141,142
    Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
    Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
    They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
    Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
    The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
    I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
    O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
    Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
    As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
    Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
    Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
    I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
    Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
    Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
    Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
    Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
    Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
    Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
    When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
    Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
    But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
    Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
    Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
    I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
    I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
    When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
    I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
    I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
    Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
    Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

  • Leviticus 26
    Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
    Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
    If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
    Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
    And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
    And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
    And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
    And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
    For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
    And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
    And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
    And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
    I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
    But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
    And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
    I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
    And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
    And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
    And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
    And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
    And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
    I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
    And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
    Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
    And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
    And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
    And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
    Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
    And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
    And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
    And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

  • Luke 9
    Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
    And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
    And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
    And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
    And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
    And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
    Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
    And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
    And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
    And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
    And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
    And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
    But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
    For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
    And they did so, and made them all sit down.
    Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
    And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
    And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
    They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
    He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
    And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
    Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
    And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
    For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
    For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
    For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
    But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
    And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
    And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
    And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
    Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
    But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
    And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good fo

  • Psalms 137,138,139
    By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
    We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
    For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
    How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
    If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
    If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
    Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
    O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
    Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
    I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
    I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
    In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
    All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
    Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
    Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
    Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
    The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
    O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
    Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
    Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
    For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
    Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
    Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
    Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
    If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
    If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
    Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
    If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
    Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
    For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
    I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
    My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
    Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
    How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
    If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
    Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
    For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
    Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
    I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
    Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
    And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

  • Leviticus 25
    And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
    Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
    Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
    But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
    That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
    And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee.
    And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
    And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
    Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
    And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
    A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
    For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
    In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.
    And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
    According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:
    According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
    Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:for I am the LORD your God.
    Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
    And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
    And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
    Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
    And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.
    The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
    And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
    If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
    And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
    Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.
    But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
    And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

  • Luke 8
    And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
    And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
    And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
    And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
    A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
    And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
    And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
    And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
    And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
    And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
    Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
    Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
    They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
    And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
    But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
    No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
    For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
    Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
    Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
    And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
    And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
    Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
    But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
    And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
    And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
    And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
    And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
    When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
    (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fette

  • Psalms 135,136
    Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.
    Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
    Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
    For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
    For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
    Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
    He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
    Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
    Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
    Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
    Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
    And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
    Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
    For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
    The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
    They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
    They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
    They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
    Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:
    Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
    Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
    O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

    The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:
    The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.
    To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:
    And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:
    With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.
    To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever:
    And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:
    But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.
    To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.

    And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.
    Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.
