35"You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.
36Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
37Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.
38"Now this is what you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.
39The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening: 40and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
41The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to ForeverOne.
42It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before ForeverOne, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.
43There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.
44I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar: Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's office.
45I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
46They shall know that I am ForeverOne their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am ForeverOne their God.

4Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for ForeverOne has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As ForeverOne lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.
5The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that ForeverOne will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold your peace." 6Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for ForeverOne has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As ForeverOne lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on.
7Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
8Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that they two went over on dry ground.
9When they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you." Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me." 10He said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so." 11As they still went on, and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12Elisha saw it, and he cried, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.
13He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
14He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, "Where is ForeverOne, the God of Elijah?" When he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha went over.
15When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16They said to him, "See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the Spirit of ForeverOne has taken him up, and put him on some mountain, or into some valley. He said, "You shall not send them." 17When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send them." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched for three days, but didn't find him.
18They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Didn't I tell you, 'Don't go?'" 19The men of the city said to Elisha, "Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries." 20He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.
21He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says ForeverOne, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'" 22So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
23He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up along the road, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldy! Go up, you baldhead!" 24He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of ForeverOne. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
25He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
1Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2He did what was evil in the sight of ForeverOne, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he didn't depart from it.

8So when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to the citadel of Susa, to the custody of Hegai, Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
9The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. He quickly gave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens who were to be given her out of the king's house. He moved her and her maidens to the best place in the women's house.
10Esther had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known.
11Mordecai walked every day in front of the court of the women's house, to find out how Esther was doing, and what would become of her.
12Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after her purification for twelve months (for so were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances and with preparations for beautifying women).
13The young woman then came to the king like this: whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the women's house to the king's house.
14In the evening she went, and on the next day she returned into the second women's house, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch, who kept the concubines. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.
15Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at her.
16So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18Then the king made a great feast for all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces, and gave gifts according to the king's bounty.

52So the Jews contended with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" 53So Jesus said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.
54He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
57As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.
58This is the bread which came down out of heaven- not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever." 59He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60So many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?" 61But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?
62Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
63It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
64But there are some of you who don't believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him.
65He said, "Because of this I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father." 66At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67So Jesus said to the twelve, "You don't also want to go away, do you?" 68Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69We have come to believe and know that you are the AnointedOne, the Son of the living God." 70Jesus answered them, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" 71Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
