7
 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him [Jesus]: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8
 and of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9
 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10
 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11
 And the people, when they knew
it,
followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12
 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13
 But he said unto them,
Give ye them to eat.
And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14
 For they were about five thousand men.
And he said to his disciples,
Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15
 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16
 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17
 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18
 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying,
Whom say the people that I am?
19
 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some
say,
Elias; and others
say,
that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20
 He said unto them,
But whom say ye that I am?
Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21
 And he straitly charged them, and commanded
them
to tell no man that thing;
22
 saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23
 And he said to
them
all,
If any
man
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24
Â
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25
Â
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26
Â
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and
in his
Father's, and of the holy angels.
27
Â
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
A Psalm
for Solomon.
1
 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
2
 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3
 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4
 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5
 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6
 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers
that
water the earth.
7
 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8
 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9
 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10
 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11
 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12
 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and
him
that hath no helper.
13
 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14
 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15
 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually;
and
daily shall he be praised.
16
 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and
they
of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17
 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and
men
shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18
 Blessed
be
the L
ORD
God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
19
 And blessed
be
his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled
with
his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20
 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
8
 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9
Â
He that is
despised, and hath a servant,
is
better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

1
 The priests the Levites,
and
all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the L
ORD
made by fire, and his inheritance.
2
 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the L
ORD
is
their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
3
 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether
it be
ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4
 The firstfruit
also
of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5
 For the L
ORD
thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the L
ORD
, him and his sons for ever.
6
 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the L
ORD
shall choose;
7
 then he shall minister in the name of the L
ORD
his God, as all his brethren the Levites
do,
which stand there before the L
ORD
.
8
 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
9
 When thou art come into the land which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10
 There shall not be found among you
any one
that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire,
or
that useth divination,
or
an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11
 or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12
 For all that do these things
are
an abomination unto the L
ORD
: and because of these abominations the L
ORD
thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13
 Thou shalt be perfect with the L
ORD
thy God.
14
 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the L
ORD
thy God hath not suffered thee so
to do.
15
 The L
ORD
thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
16
 according to all that thou desiredst of the L
ORD
thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the L
ORD
my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17
 And the L
ORD
said unto me, They have well
spoken that
which they have spoken.
18
 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19
 And it shall come to pass,
that
whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require
it
of him.
20
 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21
 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the L
ORD
hath not spoken?
22
 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the L
ORD
, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that
is
the thing which the L
ORD
hath not spoken,
but
the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
19:
1
 When the L
ORD
thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
2
 thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee to possess it.
3
 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
4
 And this
is
the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
5
 as when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
6
 lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he
was
not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
7
 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
8
 And if the L
ORD
thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
9
 if thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the L
ORD
thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
10
 that innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee
for
an inheritance, and
so
blood be upon thee.
11
 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
12
 then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
13
 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away
the guilt of
innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
14
 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee to possess it.
15
 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
16
 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him
that which is
wrong;
17
 then both the men, between whom the controversy
is,
shall stand before the L
ORD
, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
18
 and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold,
if
the witness
be
a false witness,
and
hath testified falsely against his brother;
19
 then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
20
 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
21
 And thine eye shall not pity;
but
life
shall go
for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
20:
1
 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots,
and
a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the L
ORD
thy God
is
with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2
 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
3
 and shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
4
 for the L
ORD
your God
is
he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
5
 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man
is there
that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
6
 And what man
is he
that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not
yet
eaten of it? let him
also
go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
7
 And what man
is there
that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
8
 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man
is there that is
fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.
9
 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
10
 When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
11
 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be,
that
all the people
that is
found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
12
 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
13
 and when the L
ORD
thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
14
 but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city,
even
all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the L
ORD
thy God hath given thee.
15
 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities
which are
very far off from thee, which
are
not of the cities of these nations.
16
 But of the cities of these people, which the L
ORD
thy God doth give thee
for
an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
17
 but thou shalt utterly destroy them;
namely,
the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the L
ORD
thy God hath commanded thee:
18
 that they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the L
ORD
your God.
19
 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an ax against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field
is
man's
life
) to employ
them
in the siege:
20
 only the trees which thou knowest that they
be
not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
