Matthew 18:21–19:12

21
 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22
 Jesus saith unto him,
I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

23
 
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24
 
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25
 
But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26
 
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27
 
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

28
 
But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took
him
by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29
 
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30
 
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

31
 
So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32
 
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33
 
shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34
 
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

35
 
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

19:
1
 And it came to pass,
that
when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
2
 and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

3
 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4
 And he answered and said unto them,
Have ye not read, that he which made
them
at the beginning made them male and female,
5
 
and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6
 
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

7
 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8
 He saith unto them,
Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9
 
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except
it be
for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

10
 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with
his
wife, it is not good to marry.

11
 But he said unto them,
All
men
cannot receive this saying, save
they
to whom it is given.
12
 
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
their
mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive
it,
let him receive
it.

Psalm 23:1-6

A Psalm of David.

1
 The L
ORD
is
my shepherd; I shall not want.

2
 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3
 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4
 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou
art
with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5
 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6
 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the L
ORD
for ever.

Proverbs 5:22-23

22
 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

23
 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

Exodus 8:1–9:35

Matthew 19:13-30

Psalm 24:1-10

Proverbs 6:1-5

Exodus 8:1–9:35

1
 And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the L
ORD
, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2
 And if thou refuse to let
them
go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
3
 and the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
4
 and the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.

5
 And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6
 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7
 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8
 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the L
ORD
, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the L
ORD
.

9
 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses,
that
they may remain in the river only?

10
 And he said, Tomorrow.

And he said,
Be it
according to thy word: that thou mayest know that
there is
none like unto the L
ORD
our God.
11
 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.

12
 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the L
ORD
because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
13
 And the L
ORD
did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14
 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
15
 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the L
ORD
had said.

16
 And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
17
 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

18
 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
19
 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This
is
the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the L
ORD
had said.

20
 And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the L
ORD
, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21
 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms
of flies
upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms
of flies,
and also the ground whereon they
are.
22
 And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms
of flies
shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I
am
the L
ORD
in the midst of the earth.
23
 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
24
 And the L
ORD
did so; and there came a grievous swarm
of flies
into the house of Pharaoh, and
into
his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm
of flies.

25
 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.

26
 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the L
ORD
our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
27
 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the L
ORD
our God, as he shall command us.

28
 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the L
ORD
your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.

29
 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the L
ORD
that the swarms
of flies
may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the L
ORD
.

30
 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the L
ORD
.
31
 And the L
ORD
did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms
of flies
from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
32
 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.

9:
1
 Then the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the L
ORD
God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2
 For if thou refuse to let
them
go, and wilt hold them still,
3
 behold, the hand of the L
ORD
is upon thy cattle which
is
in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep:
there shall be
a very grievous murrain.
4
 And the L
ORD
shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all
that is
the children's of Israel.
5
 And the L
ORD
appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the L
ORD
shall do this thing in the land.

6
 And the L
ORD
did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7
 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

8
 And the L
ORD
said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
9
 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth
with
blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
10
 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth
with
blains upon man, and upon beast.
11
 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12
 And the L
ORD
hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the L
ORD
had spoken unto Moses.

13
 And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the L
ORD
God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14
 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that
there is
none like me in all the earth.
15
 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
16
 And in very deed for this
cause
have I raised thee up, for to shew
in
thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17
 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
18
 Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
19
 Send therefore now,
and
gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field;
for upon
every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

20
 He that feared the word of the L
ORD
among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21
 and he that regarded not the word of the L
ORD
left his servants and his cattle in the field.

22
 And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
23
 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the L
ORD
sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the L
ORD
rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24
 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25
 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that
was
in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
26
 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel
were,
was there no hail.

27
 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the L
ORD
is
righteous, and I and my people
are
wicked.
28
 Intreat the L
ORD
(for
it is
enough) that there be no
more
mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.

29
 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the L
ORD
;
and
the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth
is
the L
ORD
's.
30
 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the L
ORD
God.

31
 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley
was
in the ear, and the flax
was
bolled.
32
 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they
were
not grown up.

33
 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the L
ORD
: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
34
 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35
 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the L
ORD
had spoken by Moses.
