Matthew 14:13-36

13
 When Jesus heard
of it,
he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard
thereof,
they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14
 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

15
 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

16
 But Jesus said unto them,
They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

17
 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

18
 He said,
Bring them hither to me.
19
 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to
his
disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20
 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21
 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

22
 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23
 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24
 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

25
 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26
 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27
 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying,
Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28
 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29
 And he said,
Come.

And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30
 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31
 And immediately Jesus stretched forth
his
hand, and caught him, and said unto him,
O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32
 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

33
 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

34
 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35
 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
36
 and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Psalm 18:37-50

37
 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

38
 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

39
 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

40
 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

41
 They cried, but
there was
none to save
them: even
unto the L
ORD
, but he answered them not.

42
 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

43
 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people;
and
thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people
whom
I have not known shall serve me.

44
 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

45
 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

46
 The L
ORD
liveth; and blessed
be
my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

47
 
It is
God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

48
 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

49
 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O L
ORD
, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

50
 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

Proverbs 4:11-13

11
 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

12
 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

13
 Take fast hold of instruction; let
her
not go: keep her; for she
is
thy life.

Genesis 46:1–47:31

1
 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
2
 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob.

And he said, Here
am
I.

3
 And he said, I
am
God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
4
 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up
again:
and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.

5
 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
6
 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
7
 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

8
 And these
are
the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
9
 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
10
 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
11
 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
12
 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
13
 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
14
 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
15
 These
be
the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padan-aram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters
were
thirty and three.

16
 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
17
 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
18
 These
are
the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob,
even
sixteen souls.

19
 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
20
 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.
21
 And the sons of Benjamin
were
Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
22
 These
are
the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls
were
fourteen.

23
 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
24
 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
25
 These
are
the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls
were
seven.

26
 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls
were
threescore and six;
27
 and the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt,
were
two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt,
were
threescore and ten.

28
 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
29
 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
30
 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou
art
yet alive.

31
 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which
were
in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
32
 and the men
are
shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
33
 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What
is
your occupation?
34
 that ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we,
and
also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd
is
an abomination unto the Egyptians.

47:
1
 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they
are
in the land of Goshen.
2
 And he took some of his brethren,
even
five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
3
 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What
is
your occupation?

And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants
are
shepherds, both we,
and
also our fathers.
4
 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine
is
sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

5
 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
6
 the land of Egypt
is
before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest
any
men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.

7
 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8
 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old
art
thou?

9
 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage
are
an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
10
 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.

11
 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12
 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to
their
families.

13
 And
there was
no bread in all the land; for the famine
was
very sore, so that the land of Egypt and
all
the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
14
 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

15
 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.

16
 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
17
 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread
in exchange
for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.

18
 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide
it
from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not aught left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
19
 wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give
us
seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.

20
 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
21
 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from
one
end of the borders of Egypt even to the
other
end thereof.
22
 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion
assigned them
of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.

23
 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo,
here is
seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
24
 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth
part
unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.

25
 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
26
 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day,
that
Pharaoh should have the fifth
part;
except the land of the priests only,
which
became not Pharaoh's.

27
 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
28
 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
29
 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
30
 but I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace.

And he said, I will do as thou hast said.

31
 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
