Leviticus 1

• 1. The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting. He said,
• 2. "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.
• 3. "'If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to offer a male without defect. He must present it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting so that it will be acceptable to the LORD.
• 4. He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
• 5. He is to slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and then Aaron's sons the priests shall bring the blood and sprinkle it against the altar on all sides at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
• 6. He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
• 7. The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.
• 8. Then Aaron's sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the altar.
• 9. He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
• 10. "'If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, he is to offer a male without defect.
• 11. He is to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.
• 12. He is to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the altar.
• 13. He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of it and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
• 14. "'If the offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to offer a dove or a young pigeon.
• 15. The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off the head and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.
• 16. He is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar, where the ashes are.
• 17. He shall tear it open by the wings, not severing it completely, and then the priest shall burn it on the wood that is on the fire on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.

Leviticus 2

• 1. "'When someone brings a grain offering to the LORD, his offering is to be of fine flour. He is to pour oil on it, put incense on it
• 2. and take it to Aaron's sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the fine flour and oil, together with all the incense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
• 3. The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made to the LORD by fire.
• 4. "'If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to consist of fine flour: cakes made without yeast and mixed with oil, or wafers made without yeast and spread with oil.
• 5. If your grain offering is prepared on a griddle, it is to be made of fine flour mixed with oil, and without yeast.
• 6. Crumble it and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.
• 7. If your grain offering is cooked in a pan, it is to be made of fine flour and oil.
• 8. Bring the grain offering made of these things to the LORD; present it to the priest, who shall take it to the altar.
• 9. He shall take out the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
• 10. The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made to the LORD by fire.
• 11. "'Every grain offering you bring to the LORD must be made without yeast, for you are not to burn any yeast or honey in an offering made to the LORD by fire.
• 12. You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of the firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma.
• 13. Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings.
• 14. "'If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire.
• 15. Put oil and incense on it; it is a grain offering.
• 16. The priest shall burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all the incense, as an offering made to the LORD by fire.

John 21

• 1. Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. It happened this way:
• 2. Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
• 3. "I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
• 4. Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
• 5. He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?No," they answered.
• 6. He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
• 7. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
• 8. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.
• 9. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
• 10. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught."
• 11. Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.
• 12. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord.
• 13. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
• 14. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
• 15. When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."
• 16. Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."
• 17. The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."
• 18. Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."
• 19. Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, "Follow me!"
• 20. Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is going to betray you?")
• 21. When Peter saw him, he asked, "Lord, what about him?"
• 22. Jesus answered, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me."
• 23. Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?"
• 24. This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.
• 25. Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

Proverbs 18

• 16. A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the presence of the great.
• 17. The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him.
• 18. Casting the lot settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart.
• 19. An offended brother is more unyielding than a fortified city, and disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
• 20. From the fruit of his mouth a man's stomach is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.
• 21. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
• 22. He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.
• 23. A poor man pleads for mercy, but a rich man answers harshly.
• 24. A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
