Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

Lev.11.2

"Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them: Of all the animals on Earth, these are the animals that you may eat:

Lev.11.2

"Say to the Israelites: 'Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat:

"Give the following instructions to the Israelites: The animals you may use for food

Lev.11.3

"You may eat any animal that has a split hoof, divided in two, and that chews the cud,

Lev.11.3

You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.

Lev.11.3

Among the animals, whatever divides the hoof, having cloven hooves and chewing the cud--that you may eat.

Lev.11.3

include those that have completely divided hooves and chew the cud.

Lev.11.4

but not an animal that only chews the cud or only has a split hoof. For instance, the camel chews the cud but doesn't have a split hoof, so it's unclean.

Lev.11.4

"'There are some that only chew the cud or only have a split hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you.

Lev.11.4

Nevertheless these you shall not eat among those that chew the cud or those that have cloven hooves: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you;

Lev.11.4

You may not, however, eat the animals named here because they either have split hooves or chew the cud, but not both. The camel may not be eaten, for though it chews the cud, it does not have split hooves.

Lev.11.5

The rock badger chews the cud but doesn't have a split hoof and so it's unclean.

Lev.11.5

The coney, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you.

Lev.11.5

the rock hyrax, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you;

Lev.11.5

The same is true of the rock badger

Lev.11.6

The rabbit chews the cud but doesn't have a split hoof so is unclean.

Lev.11.6

The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you.

Lev.11.6

the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you;

Lev.11.6

and the hare, so they also may never be eaten.

Lev.11.7

The pig has a split hoof, divided in two, but doesn't chew the cud and so is unclean.

Lev.11.7

Lev.11.7

and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.

Lev.11.7

And the pig may not be eaten, for though it has split hooves, it does not chew the cud.

"As for marine animals, you may eat whatever has both fins and scales, whether taken from fresh water or salt water.

Lev.11.10

But anything that doesn't have fins and scales, whether in seas or streams, whether small creatures in the shallows or huge creatures in the deeps, you are to detest.

Lev.11.10

But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales-whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water-you are to detest.

Lev.11.10

But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you.

Lev.11.10

You may not, however, eat marine animals that do not have both fins and scales. You are to detest them,

Lev.11.11

Yes, detest them. Don't eat their meat; detest their carcasses.

Lev.11.11

And since you are to detest them, you must not eat their meat and you must detest their carcasses.

Lev.11.11

They shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination.

Lev.11.11

and they will always be forbidden to you. You must never eat their meat or even touch their dead bodies.

Lev.11.12

Anything living in the water that doesn't have fins and scales is detestable to you.

Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be detestable to you.

Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.

Mark.12.13

The leaders sent some Pharisees and supporters of Herod to try to trap Jesus into saying something for which he could be arrested.

Mark.12.14

They came up and said, "Teacher, we know you have integrity, that you are indifferent to public opinion, don't pander to your students, and teach the way of God accurately. Tell us: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

Mark.12.14

They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

Mark.12.14

When they had come, they said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and care about no one; for You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

Mark.12.14

"Teacher," these men said, "we know how honest you are. You are impartial and don't play favorites. You sincerely teach the ways of God. Now tell us--is it right to pay taxes to the Roman government or not?

Mark.12.15

He knew it was a trick question, and said, "Why are you playing these games with me? Bring me a coin and let me look at it."

Mark.12.15

Should we pay or shouldn't we?"

Mark.12.15

Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it."

Mark.12.15

Should we pay them, or should we not?" Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, "Whom are you trying to fool with your trick questions? Show me a Roman coin, and I'll tell you."

Mark.12.16

They handed him one. "This engraving--who does it look like? And whose name is on it?Caesar," they said.

Mark.12.16

But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. "Why are you trying to trap me?" he asked. "Bring me a denarius and let me look at it." They brought the coin, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?Caesar's," they replied.

Mark.12.16

So they brought it. And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" They said to Him, "Caesar's."

Mark.12.16

When they handed it to him, he asked, "Whose picture and title are stamped on it?Caesar's," they replied.

Mark.12.17

Jesus said, "Give Caesar what is his, and give God what is his." Their mouths hung open, speechless.

Mark.12.17

Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him.

Mark.12.17

And Jesus answered and said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they marveled at Him.

Mark.12.17

"Well, then," Jesus said, "give to Caesar what belongs to him. But everything that belongs to God must be given to God." This reply completely amazed them.

Mark.12.18

Some Sadducees, the party that denies any possibility of resurrection, came up and asked,

Mark.12.18

Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.

Mark.12.18

Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:

Mark.12.18

Then the Sadducees stepped forward--a group of Jews who say there is no resurrection after death. They posed this question:

Mark.12.19

"Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man dies and leaves a wife but no child, his brother is obligated to marry the widow and have children.

Mark.12.19

"Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and have children for his brother.

Mark.12.19

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

Mark.12.19

"Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will be the brother's heir.

Mark.12.20

Well, there once were seven brothers. The first took a wife. He died childless.

Mark.12.20

Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children.

Mark.12.20

Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring.

Mark.12.20

Well, there were seven brothers. The oldest of them married and then died without children.

Mark.12.21

The second married her. He died, and still no child. The same with the third.

Mark.12.21

The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third.

Mark.12.21

And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise.

Mark.12.21

So the second brother married the widow, but soon he too died and left no children. Then the next brother married her and died without children.

Mark.12.22

All seven took their turn, but no child. Finally the wife died.

Mark.12.22

In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too.

Mark.12.22

So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also.

Mark.12.22

This continued until all the brothers had married her and died, and still there were no children. Last of all, the woman died, too.

Mark.12.23

When they are raised at the resurrection, whose wife is she? All seven were her husband."

Mark.12.23

At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?"

Mark.12.23

Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."

Mark.12.23

So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her."

Mark.12.24

Jesus said, "You're way off base, and here's why: One, you don't know your Bibles; two, you don't know how God works.

Mark.12.24

Jesus replied, "Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

Mark.12.24

Jesus answered and said to them, "Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?

Mark.12.24

Jesus replied, "Your problem is that you don't know the Scriptures, and you don't know the power of God.

Mark.12.25

After the dead are raised up, we're past the marriage business. As it is with angels now, all our ecstasies and intimacies then will be with God.

Mark.12.25

When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

Mark.12.25

For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

Mark.12.25

For when the dead rise, they won't be married. They will be like the angels in heaven.

Mark.12.26

And regarding the dead, whether or not they are raised, don't you ever read the Bible? How God at the bush said to Moses, "I am--not was--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

Mark.12.26

Now about the dead rising--have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

Mark.12.26

But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

Mark.12.26

But now, as to whether the dead will be raised--haven't you ever read about this in the writings of Moses, in the story of the burning bush? Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said to Moses, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

Mark.12.27

The living God is God of the living, not the dead. You're way, way off base."

Mark.12.27

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"

Mark.12.27

He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken."

Mark.12.27

So he is the God of the living, not the dead. You have made a serious error."

Ps.30.4

Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name.

Ps.30.4

Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

Ps.30.4

Sing to the LORD, all you godly ones! Praise his holy name.

Ps.30.5

He gets angry once in a while, but across a lifetime there is only love. The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter.

Ps.30.5

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Ps.30.5

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Ps.30.5

His anger lasts for a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may go on all night, but joy comes with the morning.

Ps.30.6

When things were going great I crowed, "I've got it made.

Ps.30.6

When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken."

Ps.30.6

Now in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be moved."

Ps.30.6

When I was prosperous I said, "Nothing can stop me now!"

Ps.30.7

I'm GOD's favorite. He made me king of the mountain." Then you looked the other way and I fell to pieces.

Ps.30.7

O LORD, when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.

Ps.30.7

LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

Ps.30.7

Your favor, O LORD, made me as secure as a mountain. Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.
