Exodus 36

• 1. So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary are to do the work just as the LORD has commanded."
• 2. Then Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD had given ability and who was willing to come and do the work.
• 3. They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.
• 4. So all the skilled craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left their work
• 5. and said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD commanded to be done."
• 6. Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: "No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary." And so the people were restrained from bringing more,
• 7. because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.
• 8. All the skilled men among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim worked into them by a skilled craftsman.
• 9. All the curtains were the same size-twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.
• 10. They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five.
• 11. Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set.
• 12. They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other.
• 13. Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.
• 14. They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle-eleven altogether.
• 15. All eleven curtains were the same size-thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.
• 16. They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set.
• 17. Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.
• 18. They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.
• 19. Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of hides of sea cows.
• 20. They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
• 21. Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,
• 22. with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
• 23. They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle
• 24. and made forty silver bases to go under them-two bases for each frame, one under each projection.
• 25. For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames
• 26. and forty silver bases-two under each frame.
• 27. They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,
• 28. and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end.
• 29. At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike.
• 30. So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases-two under each frame.
• 31. They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
• 32. five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.
• 33. They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames.
• 34. They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.
• 35. They made the curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim worked into it by a skilled craftsman.
• 36. They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases.
• 37. For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen-the work of an embroiderer;
• 38. and they made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and made their five bases of bronze.

John 16

• 1. "All this I have told you so that you will not go astray.
• 2. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
• 3. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.
• 4. I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.
• 5. "Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
• 6. Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief.
• 7. But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
• 8. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
• 9. in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;
• 10. in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
• 11. and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
• 12. "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
• 13. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
• 14. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.
• 15. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
• 16. "In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me."
• 17. Some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean by saying, 'In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,' and 'Because I am going to the Father'?"
• 18. They kept asking, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We don't understand what he is saying."
• 19. Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, "Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, 'In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me'?
• 20. I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
• 21. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.
• 22. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
• 23. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
• 24. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
• 25. "Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.
• 26. In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
• 27. No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
• 28. I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."
• 29. Then Jesus' disciples said, "Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.
• 30. Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God."
• 31. "You believe at last!" Jesus answered.
• 32. "But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
• 33. "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
