7:1 Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.

7:2 You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

7:3 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

7:4 But Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

7:5 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.”

7:6 Moses and Aaron did so. As Yahweh commanded them, so they did.

7:7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

7:8 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

7:9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.’”

7:10 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Yahweh had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

7:11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.

7:12 For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

7:13 Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them; as Yahweh had spoken.

7:14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.

7:15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he goes out to the water; and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand.

7:16 You shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness:” and behold, until now you haven’t listened.

7:17 Thus says Yahweh, “In this you shall know that I am Yahweh. Behold, I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

7:18 The fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.”’”

7:19 Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”

7:20 Moses and Aaron did so, as Yahweh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

7:21 The fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.

7:22 The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them; as Yahweh had spoken.

7:23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.

7:24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink of the water of the river.

7:25 Seven days were fulfilled, after Yahweh had struck the river.

46:1 For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

46:2 Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

46:3 though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.

46:4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

46:5 God is in her midst. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

46:6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.

46:7 Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

46:8 Come, see Yahweh’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

46:9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”

46:11 Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

21:12 Jesus entered into the temple of God, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

21:13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”

21:14 The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

21:15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,

21:16 and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?’”

21:17 He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

21:18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

21:19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

21:20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”

21:21 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

21:22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

21:23 When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

21:24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

21:25 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

21:26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”

21:27 They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
