51
 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he [Jesus] should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52
 and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53
 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54
 And when his disciples James and John saw
this,
they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55
 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said,
Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56
Â
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save
them.
And they went to another village.
57
 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain
man
said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58
 And Jesus said unto him,
Foxes have holes, and birds of the air
have
nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay
his
head.
59
 And he said unto another,
Follow me.
But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60
 Jesus said unto him,
Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61
 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62
 And Jesus said unto him,
No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
10:
1
 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
2
 Therefore said he unto them,
The harvest truly
is
great, but the labourers
are
few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3
Â
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4
Â
Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5
Â
And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace
be
to this house.
6
Â
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7
Â
And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8
Â
And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9
Â
and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10
Â
But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11
Â
Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12
Â
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
Maschil of Asaph.
1
 O God, why hast thou cast
us
off for ever?
why
doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2
 Remember thy congregation,
which
thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance,
which
thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3
 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations;
even
all
that
the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4
 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns
for
signs.
5
Â
A man
was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6
 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7
 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled
by casting down
the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8
 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9
 We see not our signs:
there is
no more any prophet: neither
is there
among us any that knoweth how long.
10
 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11
 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck
it
out of thy bosom.
12
 For God
is
my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13
 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14
 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces,
and
gavest him
to be
meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15
 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16
 The day
is
thine, the night also
is
thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17
 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18
 Remember this,
that
the enemy hath reproached, O L
ORD
, and
that
the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
19
 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude
of the wicked:
forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
20
 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21
 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22
 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
23
 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
11
 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain
persons is
void of understanding.
1
 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the L
ORD
.
2
 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the L
ORD
; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the L
ORD
.
3
 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the L
ORD
; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the L
ORD
for ever:
4
 because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
5
 Nevertheless the L
ORD
thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the L
ORD
thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the L
ORD
thy God loved thee.
6
 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
7
 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he
is
thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
8
 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the L
ORD
in their third generation.
9
 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
10
 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
11
 but it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash
himself
with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp
again.
12
 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13
 and thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
14
 for the L
ORD
thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
15
 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
16
 he shall dwell with thee,
even
among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
17
 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18
 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the L
ORD
thy God for any vow: for even both these
are
abomination unto the L
ORD
thy God.
19
 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
20
 unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the L
ORD
thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
21
 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the L
ORD
thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the L
ORD
thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
22
 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
23
 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform;
even
a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the L
ORD
thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
24
 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put
any
in thy vessel.
25
 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
24:
1
 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give
it
in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2
 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's
wife.
3
 And
if
the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth
it
in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her
to be
his wife;
4
 her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that
is
abomination before the L
ORD
: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee
for
an inheritance.
5
 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business:
but
he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
6
 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh
a man's
life to pledge.
7
 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
8
 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them,
so
ye shall observe to do.
9
 Remember what the L
ORD
thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
10
 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11
 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
12
 And if the man
be
poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
13
 in any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the L
ORD
thy God.
14
 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant
that is
poor and needy,
whether he be
of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that
are
in thy land within thy gates:
15
 at his day thou shalt give
him
his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he
is
poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the L
ORD
, and it be sin unto thee.
16
 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
17
 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger,
nor
of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
18
 but thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the L
ORD
thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19
 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the L
ORD
thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
20
 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21
 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean
it
afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22
 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
25:
1
 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that
the judges
may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
2
 And it shall be, if the wicked man
be
worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
3
 Forty stripes he may give him,
and
not exceed: lest,
if
he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
4
 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out
the corn.
5
 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.
6
 And it shall be,
that
the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother
which is
dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.
7
 And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.
8
 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and
if
he stand
to it,
and say, I like not to take her;
9
 then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.
10
 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
11
 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
12
 then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity
her.
13
 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
14
 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
15
Â
But
thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee.
16
 For all that do such things,
and
all that do unrighteously,
are
an abomination unto the L
ORD
thy God.
17
 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;
18
 how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee,
even
all
that were
feeble behind thee, when thou
wast
faint and weary; and he feared not God.
19
 Therefore it shall be, when the L
ORD
thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee
for
an inheritance to possess it,
that
thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget
it.
