¹ And Moses collected all the assembly of the children of Israel, and said to them, These are the things which Jehovah has commanded, to do them.

² Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to Jehovah: whoever does work on it shall be put to death.

³ Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings upon the sabbath day.

⁴ And Moses spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, saying, This is the word which Jehovah has commanded, saying,

⁵ Take from among you a heave-offering to Jehovah: every one whose heart [is] willing, let him bring it, Jehovah's heave-offering -- gold, and silver, and copper,

⁶ and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and byssus, and goats' [hair],

⁷ and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and acacia-wood,

⁸ and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of fragrant drugs;

⁹ and onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

¹⁰ And all who are wise-hearted among you shall come and make all that Jehovah has commanded:

¹¹ the tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;

¹² the ark, and its staves; the mercy-seat, and the veil of separation;

¹³ the table and its staves, and all its utensils, and the shewbread;

¹⁴ and the lamp-stand for the light, and its utensils, and its lamps, and the oil for the light;

¹⁵ and the altar of incense, and its staves; and the anointing-oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs; and the entrance-curtain at the entrance of the tabernacle;

¹⁶ the altar of burnt-offering, and the copper grating for it, its staves, and all its utensils; the laver and its stand;

¹⁷ the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the curtains of the gate of the court;

¹⁸ the pegs of the tabernacle, and the pegs of the court, and their cords;

¹⁹ the garments of service, to do service in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests.

²⁰ And all the assembly of the children of Israel departed from before Moses.

²¹ And they came, every one whose heart moved him, and every one whose spirit prompted him; they brought Jehovah's heave-offering for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.

²² And they came, both men and women; every one who was of willing heart brought nose-rings, and earrings, and rings, and bracelets, all kinds of utensils of gold: every man that waved a wave-offering of gold to Jehovah.

²³ And every man with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and byssus, and goats' [hair], and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, brought [them].

²⁴ All they that offered a heave-offering of silver and copper brought Jehovah's heave-offering. And every one with whom was found acacia-wood for all manner of work of the service, brought [it].

²⁵ And every woman that was wise-hearted spun with her hands, and brought what she had spun: the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the byssus.

²⁶ And all the women whose heart moved them in wisdom spun goats' [hair].

²⁷ And the principal men brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;

²⁸ and the spice, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the incense of fragrant drugs.

²⁹ The children of Israel brought a voluntary offering to Jehovah, every man and woman whose heart prompted them to bring for all manner of work, which Jehovah, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done.

³⁰ And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, Jehovah has called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

³¹ and he has filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

³² and to devise artistic things: to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

³³ and in cutting of stones, for setting, and in carving of wood, to execute all artistic work;

³⁴ and he has put in his heart to teach, he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan:

³⁵ he has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work of the engraver, and of the artificer, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in byssus, and of the weaver, [even] of them that do every kind of work, and of those that devise artistic work

¹ Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

² for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.

³ The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."

⁴ Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'"

⁵ The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.

⁷ If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."

⁸ Jesus answered him, "Get behind me Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"

⁹ He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,

¹⁰ for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'

¹¹ and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"

¹² Jesus answering, said to him, "It has been said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

¹³ When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

¹⁴ Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

¹⁵ He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁶ He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

¹⁷ The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

²⁰ He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹ He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

²² All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, "Isn't this Joseph's son?"

²³ He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.'"

²⁴ He said, "Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

²⁵ But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.

²⁶ Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

²⁷ There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian."

²⁸ They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.

²⁹ They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.

³⁰ But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.

³¹ He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

³² and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³³ In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴ saying, "Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!"

³⁵ Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

³⁶ Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!"

³⁷ News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸ He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.

³⁹ He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

⁴⁰ When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

⁴¹ Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" Rebuking them, he didn't allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

⁴² When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn't go away from them.

⁴³ But he said to them, "I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent."

⁴⁴ He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
