Matthew 20:1-28

1
 
For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man
that is
an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2
 
And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3
 
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4
 
and said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5
 
Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6
 
And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

7
 
They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us.

He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right,
that
shall ye receive.

8
 
So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them
their
hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9
 
And when they came that
were hired
about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10
 
But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11
 
And when they had received
it,
they murmured against the goodman of the house,
12
 
saying, These last have wrought
but
one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

13
 
But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14
 
Take
that
thine
is,
and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15
 
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

16
 
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

17
 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
18
 
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
19
 
and shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify
him:
and the third day he shall rise again.

20
 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping
him,
and desiring a certain thing of him.
21
 And he said unto her,
What wilt thou?

She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

22
 But Jesus answered and said,
Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

They say unto him, We are able.

23
 And he saith unto them,
Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but
it shall be given to them
for whom it is prepared of my Father.

24
 And when the ten heard
it,
they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
25
 But Jesus called them
unto him,
and said,
Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
26
 
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
27
 
and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
28
 
even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Psalm 25:1-15

A Psalm
of David.

1
 Unto thee, O L
ORD
, do I lift up my soul.

2
 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3
 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

4
 Shew me thy ways, O L
ORD
; teach me thy paths.

5
 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou
art
the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

6
 Remember, O L
ORD
, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they
have been
ever of old.

7
 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O L
ORD
.

8
 Good and upright
is
the L
ORD
: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

9
 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

10
 All the paths of the L
ORD
are
mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11
 For thy name's sake, O L
ORD
, pardon mine iniquity; for it
is
great.

12
 What man
is
he that feareth the L
ORD
? him shall he teach in the way
that
he shall choose.

13
 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14
 The secret of the L
ORD
is
with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

15
 Mine eyes
are
ever toward the L
ORD
; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Proverbs 6:6-11

6
 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

7
 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

8
 Provideth her meat in the summer,
and
gathereth her food in the harvest.

9
 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

10
 
Yet
a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

11
 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

Exodus 12:14–13:16

Matthew 20:29–21:22

Psalm 25:16-22

Proverbs 6:12-15

Exodus 12:14–13:16

14
 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the L
ORD
throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
15
 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16
 And in the first day
there shall be
an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save
that
which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
17
 And ye shall observe
the feast of
unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
18
 In the first
month,
on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
19
 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
20
 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

21
 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
22
 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip
it
in the blood that
is
in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that
is
in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
23
 For the L
ORD
will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the L
ORD
will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite
you.
24
 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
25
 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the L
ORD
will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26
 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
27
 That ye shall say, It
is
the sacrifice of the L
ORD
's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
28
 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the L
ORD
had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

29
 And it came to pass, that at midnight the L
ORD
smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that
was
in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30
 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for
there was
not a house where
there was
not one dead.

31
 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up,
and
get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the L
ORD
, as ye have said.
32
 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.

33
 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We
be
all dead
men.
34
 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35
 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
36
 and the L
ORD
gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them
such things as they required.
And they spoiled the Egyptians.

37
 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot
that were
men, beside children.
38
 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds,
even
very much cattle.
39
 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.

40
 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt,
was
four hundred and thirty years.
41
 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the L
ORD
went out from the land of Egypt.
42
 It
is
a night to be much observed unto the L
ORD
for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this
is
that night of the L
ORD
to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.

43
 And the L
ORD
said unto Moses and Aaron, This
is
the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
44
 but every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45
 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46
 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47
 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48
 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the L
ORD
, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49
 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

50
 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the L
ORD
commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51
 And it came to pass the selfsame day,
that
the L
ORD
did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

13:
1
 And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
2
 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel,
both
of man and of beast: it
is
mine.

3
 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the L
ORD
brought you out from this
place:
there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4
 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
5
 And it shall be when the L
ORD
shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6
 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day
shall be
a feast to the L
ORD
.
7
 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
8
 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying,
This is done
because of that
which
the L
ORD
did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9
 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the L
ORD
's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the L
ORD
brought thee out of Egypt.
10
 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.

11
 And it shall be when the L
ORD
shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
12
 that thou shalt set apart unto the L
ORD
all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males
shall be
the L
ORD
's.
13
 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
14
 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What
is
this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the L
ORD
brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
15
 and it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the L
ORD
slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the L
ORD
all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
16
 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the L
ORD
brought us forth out of Egypt.
