Leviticus 23

1 The Lord spoke to Moses:
2 "Speak to the Israelites and tell them: These are My appointed times, the times of the Lord that you will proclaim as sacred assemblies.
3 "For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a Sabbath of complete rest, a sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you live.
4 "These are the Lord's appointed times, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times
5 The Passover to the Lord comes in the first month, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the month.
6 The Festival of Unleavened Bread to the Lord is on the fifteenth day of the same month. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
7 On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly; you are not to do any daily work.
8 You are to present a fire offering to the Lord for seven days. On the seventh day there will be a sacred assembly; you must not do any daily work."
9 The Lord spoke to Moses:
10 "Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you and reap its harvest, you are to bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest.
11 He will wave the sheaf before the Lord so that you may be accepted; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
12 On the day you wave the sheaf, you are to offer a year-old male lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the Lord.
13 Its grain offering is to be four quarts of fine flour mixed with oil as a fire offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma, and its drink offering will be one quart of wine.
14 You must not eat bread, roasted grain, or [any] new grain until this very day, and you have brought the offering of your God. This is to be a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live.
15 "You are to count seven complete weeks starting from the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the presentation offering.
16 You are to count 50 days until the day after the seventh Sabbath and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord.
17 Bring two loaves of bread from your settlements as a presentation offering, each of them made from four quarts of fine flour, baked with yeast, as firstfruits to the Lord.
18 You are to present with the bread seven unblemished male lambs a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the Lord, with their grain offerings and drink offerings, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
19 You are also to prepare one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a fellowship sacrifice
20 The priest will wave the lambs with the bread of firstfruits as a presentation offering before the Lord; the bread and the two lambs will be holy to the Lord for the priest.
21 On that same day you are to make a proclamation and hold a sacred assembly. You are not to do any daily work. This is to be a permanent statute wherever you live throughout your generations
22 When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap all the way to the edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident; I am the Lord your God."
23 The Lord spoke to Moses:
24 "Tell the Israelites: In the seventh month, on the first [day] of the month, you are to have a day of complete rest, commemoration and jubilation-a sacred assembly.
25 You must not do any daily work, but you must present a fire offering to the Lord."
26 The Lord again spoke to Moses:
27 "The tenth [day] of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You are to hold a sacred assembly and practice self-denial; you are to present a fire offering to the Lord.
28 On this particular day you are not to do any work, for it is a Day of Atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the Lord your God.
29 If any person does not practice self-denial on this particular day, he must be cut off from his people.
30 I will destroy among his people anyone who does any work on this same day.
31 You are not to do any work. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live.
32 It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must practice self-denial. You are to observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth [day] of the month until the [following] evening."
33 The Lord spoke to Moses:
34 "Tell the Israelites: The Festival of Booths to the Lord begins on the fifteenth day of this seventh month and continues for seven days.
35 There is to be a sacred assembly on the first day; you are not to do any daily work.
36 You are to present a fire offering to the Lord for seven days. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present a fire offering to the Lord. It is a solemn gathering; you are not to do any daily work.
37 "These are the Lord's appointed times that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting fire offerings to the Lord, burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its [designated] day.
38 These are in addition to the offerings for the Lord's Sabbaths, your gifts, all your vow offerings, and all your freewill offerings that you give to the Lord.
39 "You are to celebrate the Lord's festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh month for seven days after you have gathered the produce of the land. There will be complete rest on the first day and complete rest on the eighth day.
40 On the first day you are to take the product of majestic trees-palm fronds, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook-and rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.
41 You are to celebrate it as a festival to the Lord seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for you throughout your generations; you must celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 You are to live in booths for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must live in booths,
43 so that your generations may know that I made the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God."
44 So Moses declared the Lord's appointed times to the Israelites.

Leviticus 24

1 The Lord spoke to Moses:
2 "Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of beaten olives for the light, so that the lamp will burn regularly.
3 Aaron is to tend it regularly from evening until morning before the Lord outside the veil of the testimony in the tent of meeting. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations.
4 He must regularly tend the lamps on the pure [gold] lampstand in the Lord's presence.
5 "Take fine flour and bake it into 12 loaves; each loaf is to be made with four quarts.
6 Arrange them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure [gold] table before the Lord.
7 Place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread and a fire offering to the Lord.
8 The bread is to be set out before the Lord every Sabbath day as a perpetual covenant obligation on the part of the Israelites.
9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is the holiest portion for him from the fire offerings to the Lord; this is a permanent rule."
10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father was among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between the Israelite woman's son and an Israelite man.
11 Her son cursed and blasphemed the Name, and they brought him to Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, a daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.)
12 They put him in custody until the Lord's decision could be made clear to them.
13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses:
14 "Bring the one who has cursed to the outside of the camp and have all who heard [him] lay their hands on his head; then have the whole community stone him.
15 And tell the Israelites: If anyone curses his God, he will bear the consequences of his sin.
16 Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death; the whole community must stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the foreign resident or the native.
17 "If a man kills anyone, he must be put to death.
18 Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, life for life.
19 If any man inflicts a permanent injury on his neighbor, whatever he has done is to be done to him:
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Whatever injury he inflicted on the person, the same is to be inflicted on him.
21 Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, but whoever kills a person is to be put to death.
22 You are to have the same law for the foreign resident and the native, because I am the Lord your God."
23 After Moses spoke to the Israelites, they brought the one who had cursed to the outside of the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Mark 1:1-22

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Look, I am sending My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way.
3 A voice of one crying out in the wilderness: "Prepare the way for the Lord; make His paths straight!"
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were flocking to him, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.
6 John wore a camel-hair garment with a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey.
7 He was preaching: "Someone more powerful than I will come after me. I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the strap of His sandals.
8 I have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.
10 As soon as He came up out of the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending to Him like a dove.
11 And a voice came from heaven: You are My beloved Son; I take delight in You!
12 Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.
13 He was in the wilderness 40 days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels began to serve Him.
14 After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the good news of God:
15 "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news!"
16 As He was passing along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother. They were casting a net into the sea, since they were fishermen.
17 "Follow Me," Jesus told them, "and I will make you fish for people!"
18 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in their boat mending their nets.
20 Immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
21 Then they went into Capernaum, and right away He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
22 They were astonished at His teaching because, unlike the scribes, He was teaching them as one having authority.
