35
 And he [Jesus] said unto them [Jesus' disciples],
When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing?
And they said, Nothing.
36
 Then said he unto them,
But now, he that hath a purse, let him take
it,
and likewise
his
scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37
Â
For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
38
 And they said, Lord, behold, here
are
two swords.
And he said unto them,
It is enough.
39
 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40
 And when he was at the place, he said unto them,
Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41
 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42
 saying,
Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43
 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44
 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45
 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46
 and said unto them,
Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
47
 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48
 But Jesus said unto him,
Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49
 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50
 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51
 And Jesus answered and said,
Suffer ye thus far.
And he touched his ear, and healed him.
52
 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him,
Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
53
Â
When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
1
 O L
ORD
God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2
 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3
 L
ORD
, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4
Â
How long
shall they utter
and
speak hard things?
and
all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5
 They break in pieces thy people, O L
ORD
, and afflict thine heritage.
6
 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7
 Yet they say, The L
ORD
shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard
it.
8
 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and
ye
fools, when will ye be wise?
9
 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10
 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge,
shall not he know?
11
 The L
ORD
knoweth the thoughts of man, that they
are
vanity.
12
 Blessed
is
the man whom thou chastenest, O L
ORD
, and teachest him out of thy law;
13
 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14
 For the L
ORD
will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15
 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16
 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
or
who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17
 Unless the L
ORD
had been
my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18
 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O L
ORD
, held me up.
19
 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20
 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21
 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22
 But the L
ORD
is my defence; and my God
is
the rock of my refuge.
23
 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness;
yea,
the L
ORD
our God shall cut them off.
3
 In the mouth of the foolish
is
a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
4
 Where no oxen
are,
the crib
is
clean: but much increase
is
by the strength of the ox.
1
 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the L
ORD
: and the L
ORD
delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
2
 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel:
and
because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which
are
in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
3
 And
so
it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;
4
 and they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
5
 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude;
for
both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
6
 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the L
ORD
.
7
 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the L
ORD
because of the Midianites,
8
 that the L
ORD
sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the L
ORD
God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
9
 and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
10
 and I said unto you, I
am
the L
ORD
your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.
11
 And there came an angel of the L
ORD
, and sat under an oak which
was
in Ophrah, that
pertained
unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide
it
from the Midianites.
12
 And the angel of the L
ORD
appeared unto him, and said unto him, The L
ORD
is
with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
13
 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the L
ORD
be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where
be
all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the L
ORD
bring us up from Egypt? but now the L
ORD
hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
14
 And the L
ORD
looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
15
 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family
is
poor in Manasseh, and I
am
the least in my father's house.
16
 And the L
ORD
said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
17
 And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.
18
 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set
it
before thee.
And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.
19
 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought
it
out unto him under the oak, and presented
it.
20
 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay
them
upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
21
 Then the angel of the L
ORD
put forth the end of the staff that
was
in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the L
ORD
departed out of his sight.
22
 And when Gideon perceived that he
was
an angel of the L
ORD
, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord G
OD
! for because I have seen an angel of the L
ORD
face to face.
23
 And the L
ORD
said unto him, Peace
be
unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
24
 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the L
ORD
, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it
is
yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
25
 And it came to pass the same night, that the L
ORD
said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that
is
by it:
26
 and build an altar unto the L
ORD
thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
27
 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the L
ORD
had said unto him: and
so
it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do
it
by day, that he did
it
by night.
28
 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that
was
by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar
that was
built.
29
 And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.
30
 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that
was
by it.
31
 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst
it is yet
morning: if he
be
a god, let him plead for himself, because
one
hath cast down his altar.
32
 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
33
 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
34
 But the Spirit of the L
ORD
came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.
35
 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
36
 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
37
 behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor;
and
if the dew be on the fleece only, and
it be
dry upon all the earth
beside,
then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
38
 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
39
 And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
40
 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
