Numbers 14-15:16 Listen to this passage View commentary related to this passage Numbers 14  1And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.  2And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!  3And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?  4And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.  5Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.  6And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:  7And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.  8If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.  9Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.  10But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.  11And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?  12I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.  13And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)  14And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.  15Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,  16Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.  17And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,  18The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.  19Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.  20And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:  21But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.  22Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;  23Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:  24But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.  25(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.  26And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,  27How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.  28Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:  29Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.  30Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.  31But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.  32But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.  33And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.  34After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.  35I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.  36And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,  37Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.  38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.  39And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.  40And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.  41And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.  42Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.  43For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.  44But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.  45Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah. Numbers 15  1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,  3And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd or of the flock:  4Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.  5And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.  6Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.  7And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.  8And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:  9Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.  10And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.  11Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.  12According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.  13All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.  14And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.  15One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.  16One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

Mark 14:53-72 Listen to this passage View commentary related to this passage  53And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.  54And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.  55And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.  56For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.  57And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,  58We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.  59But neither so did their witness agree together.  60And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?  61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?  62And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.  63Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?  64Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.  65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.  66And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:  67And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.  68But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.  69And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.  70And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.  71But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.  72And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept. King James Version (KJV) Public Domain
Psalm 53:1-6 Listen to this passage View commentary related to this passage Psalm 53  1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.  2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.  3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.  4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.  5There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.  6Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. King James Version (KJV) Public Domain
