Numbers 15:17-16:40 Listen to this passage View commentary related to this passage  17And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  18Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,  19Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.  20Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.  21Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.  22And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,  23Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;  24Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.  25And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:  26And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.  27And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.  28And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.  29Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.  30But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.  31Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.  32And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.  33And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.  34And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.  35And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.  36And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.  37And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  38Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:  39And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them ; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:  40That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.  41I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God. Numbers 16  1Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:  2And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:  3And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?  4And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:  5And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.  6This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;  7And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.  8And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:  9Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?  10And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?  11For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?  12And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:  13Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?  14Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.  15And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.  16And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:  17And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.  18And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.  19And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.  20And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,  21Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.  22And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?  23And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  24Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.  25And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.  26And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.  27So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.  28And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.  29If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.  30But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.  31And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:  32And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.  33They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.  34And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.  35And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.  36And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  37Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.  38The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.  39And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:  40To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.

Mark 15:1-47 Listen to this passage View commentary related to this passage Mark 15  1And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.  2And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.  3And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.  4And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.  5But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.  6Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.  7And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.  8And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.  9But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?  10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.  11But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.  12And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?  13And they cried out again, Crucify him.  14Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.  15And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.  16And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.  17And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,  18And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!  19And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.  20And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.  21And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.  22And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.  23And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.  24And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.  25And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.  26And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.  27And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.  28And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.  29And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,  30Save thyself, and come down from the cross.  31Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.  32Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.  33And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.  34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?  35And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.  36And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.  37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.  38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.  39And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.  40There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;  41(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.  42And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,  43Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.  44And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.  45And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.  46And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.  47And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
