Matthew 22:34–23:12

34
 But when the Pharisees had heard that he [Jesus] had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35
 Then one of them,
which was
a lawyer, asked
him a question,
tempting him, and saying,
36
 Master, which
is
the great commandment in the law?

37
 Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38
 
This is the first and great commandment.
39
 
And the second
is
like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40
 
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

41
 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42
 saying,
What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?

They say unto him,
The son
of David.

43
 He saith unto them,
How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44
 
The L
ORD
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45
 
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46
 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any
man
from that day forth ask him any more
questions.

23:
1
 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2
 saying,
The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3
 
all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,
that
observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4
 
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay
them
on men's shoulders; but they
themselves
will not move them with one of their fingers.
5
 
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6
 
and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7
 
and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8
 
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,
even
Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9
 
And call no
man
your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10
 
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master,
even
Christ.
11
 
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12
 
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Psalm 27:7-14

7
 Hear, O L
ORD
,
when
I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8
 
When thou saidst,
Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, L
ORD
, will I seek.

9
 Hide not thy face
far
from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10
 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the L
ORD
will take me up.

11
 Teach me thy way, O L
ORD
, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12
 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13
 
I had fainted,
unless I had believed to see the goodness of the L
ORD
in the land of the living.

14
 Wait on the L
ORD
: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the L
ORD
.

Proverbs 6:27-35

27
 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

28
 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

29
 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

30
 
Men
do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

31
 But
if
he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

32
 
But
whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he
that
doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

33
 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

34
 For jealousy
is
the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

35
 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

Matthew 23:13-39

Psalm 28:1-9

Proverbs 7:1-5

Exodus 19:16–21:21

16
 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that
was
in the camp trembled.
17
 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18
 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the L
ORD
descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19
 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
20
 And the L
ORD
came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the L
ORD
called Moses
up
to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

21
 And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the L
ORD
to gaze, and many of them perish.
22
 And let the priests also, which come near to the L
ORD
, sanctify themselves, lest the L
ORD
break forth upon them.

23
 And Moses said unto the L
ORD
, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

24
 And the L
ORD
said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the L
ORD
, lest he break forth upon them.
25
 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

20:
1
 And God spake all these words, saying,
2
 I
am
the L
ORD
thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3
 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4
 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness
of any thing
that
is
in heaven above, or that
is
in the earth beneath, or that
is
in the water under the earth:
5
 thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the L
ORD
thy God
am
a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
generation
of them that hate me;
6
 and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7
 Thou shalt not take the name of the L
ORD
thy God in vain; for the L
ORD
will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

8
 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9
 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10
 but the seventh day
is
the sabbath of the L
ORD
thy God:
in it
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that
is
within thy gates:
11
 for
in
six days the L
ORD
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them
is,
and rested the seventh day: wherefore the L
ORD
blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12
 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee.

13
 Thou shalt not kill.

14
 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15
 Thou shalt not steal.

16
 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17
 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that
is
thy neighbour's.

18
 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw
it,
they removed, and stood afar off.
19
 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20
 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21
 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God
was.

22
 And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23
 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
24
 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
25
 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
26
 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.

21:
1
 Now these
are
the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2
 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3
 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4
 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
5
 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
6
 then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.

7
 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8
 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
9
 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10
 If he take him another
wife;
her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11
 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

12
 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
13
 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver
him
into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.

14
 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

15
 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

16
 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17
 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

18
 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with
his
fist, and he die not, but keepeth
his
bed:
19
 if he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote
him
be quit: only he shall pay
for
the loss of his time, and shall cause
him
to be thoroughly healed.

20
 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21
 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he
is
his money.
