Leviticus:11:1-47 [1] And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
[2] Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.
[3] You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again.
[4] But, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it is unclean to you.
[5] And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you.
[6] And the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to you.
[7] And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back.
[8] Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.
[9] These you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food.
[10] All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;
[11] They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you.
[12] Anything in the water which has no special parts for swimming and no thin plates on its skin is disgusting to you.
[13] And among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;
[14] And the kite and the falcon, and birds of that sort;
[15] Every raven, and birds of that sort;
[16] And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort;
[17] And the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl;
[18] And the water-hen and the pelican and the vulture;
[19] The stork and the heron, and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.
[20] Every winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting to you;
[21] But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;
[22] Such as all the different sorts of locust.
[23] But all other winged four-footed things which go on the earth are disgusting to you.
[24] By these you will be made unclean; anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean till evening:
[25] Whoever takes away the dead body of one of them is to have his clothing washed, and will be unclean till evening.
[26] Every beast, in the horn of whose foot there is not a complete division, and whose food does not come back, is unclean to you: anyone touching one of these will be unclean.
[27] Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till evening.
[28] Anyone who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.
[29] And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;
[30] And the ferret and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the chameleon.
[31] All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.
[32] The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean.
[33] And if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken.
[34] Any food in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any drink taken from such a vessel will be unclean.
[35] Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.
[36] But at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean.
[37] If any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting, it is clean;
[38] But if water is put on the seed, and any part of the dead body gets on to it, it will be unclean to you.
[39] And if any beast which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone touching its dead body will be unclean till evening.
[40] And he who makes use of any part of its body for food is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening; and anyone taking away its body is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.
[41] Everything which goes flat on its body on the earth is disgusting, and is not to be used for food.
[42] Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.
[43] You are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that you are not holy to me.
[44] For I am the Lord your God: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which goes about flat on the earth.
[45] For I am the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; so be you holy, for I am holy.
[46] This is the law about beasts and birds and every living thing moving in the waters, and every living thing which goes flat on the earth:
[47] Marking out the unclean from the clean, and the living thing which may be used for food from that which may not.

Romans:14:1-23 [1] Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings.
[2] One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.
[3] Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval.
[4] Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.
[5] This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.
[6] He who keeps the day, keeps it to the Lord; and he who takes food, takes it as to the Lord, for he gives praise to God; and he who does not take food, to the Lord he takes it not, and gives praise to God.
[7] For every man's life and every man's death has a relation to others as well as to himself.
[8] As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.
[9] And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.
[10] But you, why do you make yourself your brother's judge? or again, why have you no respect for your brother? because we will all have to take our place before God as our judge.
[11] For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.
[12] So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.
[13] Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.
[14] I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.
[15] And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.
[16] Let it not be possible for men to say evil about your good:
[17] For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
[18] And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men.
[19] So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another.
[20] Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.
[21] It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother.
[22] The faith which you have, have it to yourself before God. Happy is the man who is not judged by that to which he gives approval.
[23] But he who is in doubt is judged if he takes food, because he does it not in faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

[5] For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.

Daniel:1:8-15 [8] And Daniel had come to the decision that he would not make himself unclean with the king's food or wine; so he made a request to the captain of the unsexed servants that he might not make himself unclean.
[9] And God put into the heart of the captain of the unsexed servants kind feelings and pity for Daniel.
[10] And the captain of the unsexed servants said to Daniel, I am in fear of my lord the king, who has given orders about your food and your drink; what if he sees you looking less happy than the other young men of your generation? then you would have put my head in danger from the king.
[11] Then Daniel said to the keeper in whose care the captain of the unsexed servants had put Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
[12] Put your servants to the test for ten days; let them give us grain for our food and water for our drink.
[13] Then take a look at our faces and the faces of the young men who have food from the king's table; and, having seen them, do to your servants as it seems right to you.
[14] So he gave ear to them in this thing and put them to the test for ten days.
[15] And at the end of ten days their faces seemed fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the young men who had their food from the king's table.

John:6:50-71 [50] The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.
[51] I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.
[52] Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?
[53] Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.
[54] He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.
[55] My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.
[56] He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.
[57] As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.
[58] This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.
[59] Jesus said these things in the Synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum.
[60] Then, hearing this, a number of his disciples said, This is a hard saying; who is able to take in such teaching?
[61] When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble?
[62] What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before?
[63] The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.
[64] But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.
[65] And he said, This is why I said to you, No man is able to come to me if he is not given the power to do so by the Father.
[66] Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.
[67] So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away?
[68] Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;
[69] And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God.
[70] Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?
[71] He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.

John:6:1-15 [1] After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee--that is, the sea of Tiberias.
[2] And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.
[3] Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples.
[4] Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.
[5] Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?
[6] This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.
[7] Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.
[8] One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,
[9] There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?
[10] Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.
[11] Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.
[12] And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.
[13] So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.
[14] And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.
[15] Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

1 Timothy:4:1-16 [1] But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,
[2] Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;
[3] Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.
[4] Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise:
[5] For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.
[6] If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:
[7] But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:
[8] For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.
[9] This is a true saying, in which all may put their faith.
[10] And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith.
[11] Let these be your orders and your teaching.
[12] Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.
[13] Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.
[14] Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.
[15] Have a care for these things; give yourself to them with all your heart, so that all may see how you go forward.
[16] Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.

Romans:1:1-32 [1] Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the selection of God, given authority as a preacher of the good news,
[2] Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings,
[3] About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David,
[4] But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,
[5] Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name:
[6] Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:
[7] To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
[8] First of all, I give praise to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because news of your faith has gone into all the world.
[9] For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,
[10] And that I am ever making prayers that God will give me a good journey to you.
[11] For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong;
[12] That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me.
[13] You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.
[14] I have a debt to Greeks and to the nations outside; to the wise and to those who have no learning.
[15] For which reason I have the desire, as far as I am able, to give the knowledge of the good news to you who are in Rome.
[16] For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek.
[17] For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.
[18] For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;
[19] Because the knowledge of God may be seen in them, God having made it clear to them.
[20] For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:
[21] Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark.
[22] Seeming to be wise, they were in fact foolish,
[23] And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth.
[24] For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:
[25] Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.
[26] For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:
[27] And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.
[28] And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right;
[29] Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;
[30] Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,
[31] Without knowledge, not true to their undertakings, unkind, having no mercy:
[32] Who, though they have knowledge of the law of God, that the fate of those who do these things is death, not only go on doing these things themselves, but give approval to those who do them.

Leviticus:17:13-15 [13] And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.
[14] For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.
[15] And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.
See All...;
1 Corinthians:11:19-34 [19] For divisions are necessary among you, in order that those who have God's approval may be clearly seen among you.
[20] But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:
[21] For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.
[22] What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.
[23] For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,
[24] And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.
[25] In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.
[26] For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.
[27] If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.
[28] But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.
[29] For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.
[30] For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.
[31] But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.
[32] But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.
[33] So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.
[34] If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

Acts:10:9-15 [9] Now the day after, when they were on their journey and were near the town, Peter went up to the top of the house for prayer, about the sixth hour:

[11] And he saw the heavens opening, and a vessel coming down, like a great cloth let down on the earth,
[12] In which were all sorts of beasts and birds.
[13] And a voice came to him, saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
[14] But Peter said, No, Lord; for I have never taken food which is common or unclean.
[15] And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

See All...;
Luke:22:1-71 [1] Now the feast of unleavened bread was near, which is called the Passover.
[2] And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people.
[3] And Satan came into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.
[4] And he went away and had a discussion with the chief priests and the rulers, about how he might give him up to them.
[5] And they were glad, and undertook to give him money.
[6] And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.
[7] And the day of unleavened bread came, when the Passover lamb is put to death.
[8] And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.
[9] And they said to him, Where are we to get it ready?
[10] And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.
[11] And say to the master of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?
[12] And he will take you up to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready.
[13] And they went, and it was as he had said: and they made the Passover ready.
[14] And when the time had come, he took his seat, and the Apostles with him.
[15] And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;
[16] For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God.
[17] And he took a cup and, having given praise, he said, Make division of this among yourselves;
[18] For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.
[19] And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.
[20] And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.
[21] But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.
[22] For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.
[23] And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.
[24] And there was an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
[25] And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.
[26] But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.
[27] For which is greater, the guest who is seated at a meal or the servant who is waiting on him? is it not the guest? but I am among you as a servant.
[28] But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles;
[29] And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,
[30] So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
[31] Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested:
[32] But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.
[33] And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.
[34] And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.
[35] And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.
[36] And he said to them, But now, he who has a money-bag, or a bag for food, let him take it: and he who has not, let him give his coat for money and get a sword.
[37] For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.
[38] And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said, It is enough.
[39] And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him.
[40] And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.
[41] And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said,
[42] Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.
[43] And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength.
[44] And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.
[45] And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.
[46] And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.
[47] And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.
[48] But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?
[49] And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?
[50] And one of them gave a blow to the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
[51] But Jesus, answering, said, Put up with this, at least. And touching his ear, he made it well.
[52] And Jesus said to the chief priests and the captains of the Temple and the rulers, who had come against him, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks?
[53] When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.
[54] And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.
[55] And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them.
[56] And a certain woman-servant, seeing him in the light of the fire, and looking at him with attention, said, This man was with him.
[57] But he said, Woman, it is not true; I have no knowledge of him.
[58] And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.
[59] And after about an hour, another man said, with decision, Certainly this man was with him, for he is a Galilaean.
[60] And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock.
[61] And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.
[62] And he went out, weeping bitterly.
[63] And the men in whose hands Jesus was, made sport of him and gave him blows.
[64] And, covering his eyes, they said to him, Are you prophet enough to say who gave you that blow?
[65] And they said a number of other evil things against him.
[66] And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,
[67] If you are the Christ, say so. But he said, If I say so you will not have belief;
[68] And if I put a question to you, you will not give an answer.
[69] But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.
[70] And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.
[71] And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.

[5] Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble.
[6] The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.
[7] Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.
[8] And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.
[9] If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.
[10] Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
[11] What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
[12] At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?
[13] Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.
[14] Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.
[15] And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.
[16] Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning;
[17] Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow.
[18] Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?
[19] If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;
[20] But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.
[21] The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.
[22] Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.
[23] Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.
[24] For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;
[25] And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;
[26] And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.
[27] Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.
[28] But a common destruction will overtake sinners and evil-doers together, and those who have gone away from the Lord will be cut off.
[29] For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.
[30] For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.
[31] And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.

Ezra:1:1-11 [1] Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying,
[2] These are the words of Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
[3] Whoever there is among you of his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and take in hand the building of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem.
[4] And whoever there may be of the rest of Israel, living in any place, let the men of that place give him help with offerings of silver and gold and goods and beasts, in addition to the offering freely given for the house of God in Jerusalem.
[5] Then the heads of families of Judah and Benjamin, with the priests and the Levites, got ready, even all those whose spirits were moved by God to go up and take in hand the building of the Lord's house in Jerusalem.
[6] And all their neighbours gave them help with offerings of vessels of silver and gold and goods and beasts and things of great value, in addition to what was freely offered.
[7] And Cyrus the king got out the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods;
[8] Even these Cyrus made Mithredath, the keeper of his wealth, get out, and he gave them, after numbering them, to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.
[9] And this is the number of them: there were thirty gold plates, a thousand silver plates, twenty-nine knives,
[10] Thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins, and a thousand other vessels.
[11] There were five thousand, four hundred gold and silver vessels. All these were taken back by Sheshbazzar, when those who had been taken prisoner went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
