Leviticus 1

• 1. The LORD called to Moses from the Tabernacle and said to him,
• 2. "Give the following instructions to the Israelites: Whenever you present offerings to the LORD, you must bring animals from your flocks and herds.
• 3. "If your sacrifice for a whole burnt offering is from the herd, bring a bull with no physical defects to the entrance of the Tabernacle so it will be accepted by the LORD.
• 4. Lay your hand on its head so the LORD will accept it as your substitute, thus making atonement for you.
• 5. Then slaughter the animal in the LORD's presence, and Aaron's sons, the priests, will present the blood by sprinkling it against the sides of the altar that stands in front of the Tabernacle.
• 6. When the animal has been skinned and cut into pieces,
• 7. the sons of Aaron the priest will build a wood fire on the altar.
• 8. Aaron's sons will then put the pieces of the animal, including its head and fat, on the wood fire.
• 9. But the internal organs and legs must first be washed with water. Then the priests will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar. It is a whole burnt offering made by fire, very pleasing to the LORD.
• 10. "If your sacrifice for a whole burnt offering is from the flock, bring a male sheep or goat with no physical defects.
• 11. Slaughter the animal on the north side of the altar in the LORD's presence. Aaron's sons, the priests, will sprinkle its blood against the sides of the altar.
• 12. Then you must cut the animal in pieces, and the priests will lay the pieces of the sacrifice, including the head and fat, on top of the wood fire on the altar.
• 13. The internal organs and legs must first be washed with water. Then the priests will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar. It is a whole burnt offering made by fire, very pleasing to the LORD.
• 14. "If you bring a bird as a burnt offering to the LORD, choose either a turtledove or a young pigeon.
• 15. The priest will take the bird to the altar, twist off its head, and burn the head on the altar. He must then let its blood drain out against the sides of the altar.
• 16. The priest must remove the crop and the feathers and throw them to the east side of the altar among the ashes.
• 17. Then, grasping the bird by its wings, the priest will tear the bird apart, though not completely. Then he will burn it on top of the wood fire on the altar. It is a whole burnt offering made by fire, very pleasing to the LORD.

Leviticus 2

• 1. "When you bring a grain offering to the LORD, the offering must consist of choice flour. You are to pour olive oil on it and sprinkle it with incense.
• 2. Bring this offering to one of Aaron's sons, and he will take a handful of the flour mixed with olive oil, together with all the incense, and burn this token portion on the altar fire. It is an offering made by fire, very pleasing to the LORD.
• 3. The rest of the flour will be given to Aaron and his sons. It will be considered a most holy part of the offerings given to the LORD by fire.
• 4. "When you present some kind of baked bread as a grain offering, it must be made of choice flour mixed with olive oil but without any yeast. It may be presented in the form of cakes mixed with olive oil or wafers spread with olive oil.
• 5. If your grain offering is cooked on a griddle, it must be made of choice flour and olive oil, and it must contain no yeast.
• 6. Break it into pieces and pour oil on it; it is a kind of grain offering.
• 7. If your offering is prepared in a pan, it also must be made of choice flour and olive oil.
• 8. "No matter how a grain offering has been prepared before being offered to the LORD, bring it to the priests who will present it at the altar.
• 9. The priests will take a token portion of the grain offering and burn it on the altar as an offering made by fire, and it will be very pleasing to the LORD.
• 10. The rest of the grain offering will be given to Aaron and his sons as their food. It will be considered a most holy part of the offerings given to the LORD by fire.
• 11. "Do not use yeast in any of the grain offerings you present to the LORD, because no yeast or honey may be burned as an offering to the LORD by fire.
• 12. You may add yeast and honey to the offerings presented at harvesttime, but these must never be burned on the altar as an offering pleasing to the LORD.
• 13. Season all your grain offerings with salt, to remind you of God's covenant. Never forget to add salt to your grain offerings.
• 14. "If you present a grain offering to the LORD from the first portion of your harvest, bring kernels of new grain that have been roasted on a fire.
• 15. Since it is a grain offering, put olive oil on it and sprinkle it with incense.
• 16. The priests will take a token portion of the roasted grain mixed with olive oil, together with all the incense, and burn it as an offering given to the LORD by fire.

John 21

• 1. Later Jesus appeared again to the disciples beside the Sea of Galilee. This is how it happened.
• 2. Several of the disciples were there--Simon Peter, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin ), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples.
• 3. Simon Peter said, "I'm going fishing.We'll come, too," they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night.
• 4. At dawn the disciples saw Jesus standing on the beach, but they couldn't see who he was.
• 5. He called out, "Friends, have you caught any fish?No," they replied.
• 6. Then he said, "Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you'll get plenty of fish!" So they did, and they couldn't draw in the net because there were so many fish in it.
• 7. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and swam ashore.
• 8. The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only out about three hundred feet.
• 9. When they got there, they saw that a charcoal fire was burning and fish were frying over it, and there was bread.
• 10. "Bring some of the fish you've just caught," Jesus said.
• 11. So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were 153 large fish, and yet the net hadn't torn.
• 12. "Now come and have some breakfast!" Jesus said. And no one dared ask him if he really was the Lord because they were sure of it.
• 13. Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish.
• 14. This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead.
• 15. After breakfast Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?Yes, Lord," Peter replied, "you know I love you.Then feed my lambs," Jesus told him.
• 16. Jesus repeated the question: "Simon son of John, do you love me?Yes, Lord," Peter said, "you know I love you.Then take care of my sheep," Jesus said.
• 17. Once more he asked him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, "Lord, you know everything. You know I love you." Jesus said, "Then feed my sheep.
• 18. The truth is, when you were young, you were able to do as you liked and go wherever you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will direct you and take you where you don't want to go."
• 19. Jesus said this to let him know what kind of death he would die to glorify God. Then Jesus told him, "Follow me."
• 20. Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them--the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, "Lord, who among us will betray you?"
• 21. Peter asked Jesus, "What about him, Lord?"
• 22. Jesus replied, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You follow me."
• 23. So the rumor spread among the community of believers that that disciple wouldn't die. But that isn't what Jesus said at all. He only said, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?"
• 24. This is that disciple who saw these events and recorded them here. And we all know that his account of these things is accurate.
• 25. And I suppose that if all the other things Jesus did were written down, the whole world could not contain the books.

Proverbs 18

• 1. A recluse is self-indulgent, snarling at every sound principle of conduct.
• 2. Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.

• 5. It is wrong for a judge to favor the guilty or condemn the innocent.

• 8. What dainty morsels rumors are--but they sink deep into one's heart.
• 9. A lazy person is as bad as someone who destroys things.
• 10. The name of the LORD is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.
• 11. The rich think of their wealth as an impregnable defense; they imagine it is a high wall of safety.
