1:1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt; (every man and his household came with Jacob):

1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

1:4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.

1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: and Joseph was in Egypt already.

1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

1:8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

1:9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

1:10 come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.

1:11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses.

1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

1:13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor:

1:14 and they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigor.

1:15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:

1:16 and he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birth-stool; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children alive.

1:18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive?

1:19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto them.

1:20 And God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them households.

1:22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

41:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

41:2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

41:3 Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

41:4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

41:5 Mine enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish?

41:6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.

41:8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

41:10 But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them.

41:11 By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever.

41:13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, and saying,

17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft-times into the water.

17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

17:17 And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me.

17:18 And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour.

17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out?

17:20 And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

17:21

17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men;

17:23 and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.
