Ezekiel 46
1 ‘ “The Lord Yahweh says this: The east gate of the inner court must be kept shut for the six working days. On the Sabbath day, however, it must be opened, as also on the day of the New Moon;
2 and the prince must go in through the porch of the outer gate and take his position by the doorposts of the gate. The priests must then offer his burnt offerings and his communion sacrifice. He must prostrate himself on the threshold of the gate and go out, and the gate must not be shut again until the evening.
3 The people of the country must prostrate themselves in the presence of Yahweh at the entrance to the gate on Sabbaths and days of the New Moon.
4 The burnt offering offered to Yahweh by the prince on the Sabbath day must consist of six unblemished lambs and one unblemished ram,
5 with an oblation of one ephah for the ram, and such oblation as he pleases for the lambs, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
6 On the day of the New Moon it must consist of an unblemished young bull, six unblemished lambs and one unblemished ram,
7 when he must make an oblation of one ephah for the bull and one ephah for the ram, and what he pleases for the lambs, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
8 “When the prince goes in, he must enter by the porch of the gate, and he must leave by the same way.
9 When the people of the country come into the presence of Yahweh at the solemn festivals, those who have come in by the north gate to prostrate themselves must go out by the south gate, and those who have come in by the south gate must go out by the north gate; no one must turn back to leave through the gate by which he entered but must go out on the opposite side.
10 The prince will be with them, coming in like them and going out like them.
11 “On feast days and solemn festivals the oblation must be one ephah for every bull, one ephah for every ram, what he pleases for the lambs, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
12 When the prince offers Yahweh voluntary burnt offerings or a voluntary communion sacrifice, the east gate must be opened for him, and he must offer his burnt offerings and his communion sacrifice as he does on the Sabbath day; when he has gone out, the gate must shut after him.
13 Every day he must offer an unblemished lamb one year old as a burnt offering to Yahweh; he must offer this every morning.
14 Every morning in addition he must offer an oblation of one-sixth of an ephah and one-third of a hin of oil, for mixing with the flour. This is the oblation to Yahweh, a perpetual decree, fixed for ever.
15 The lamb, the oblation and the oil must be offered morning after morning for ever.
16 “Lord Yahweh says this: If the prince presents part of his hereditary portion to one of his sons, the gift must pass into the ownership of his sons and become their hereditary property.
17 If, however, he presents part of his hereditary portion to one of his slaves, it will belong to the man only until the year of liberation and then must revert to the prince. Only his sons may retain his hereditary portion.
18 The prince may not take any part of the people’s hereditary portion, thus robbing them of what is theirs; he must provide the patrimony of his sons out of his own property, so that no member of my people is robbed of what is his!” ‘
19 He took me through the entrance at the side of the north gate that leads to the rooms of the Holy Place set apart for the priests. And there before us, to the west, was a space at the end.
20 He said to me, ‘This is where the priests must boil the slaughtered animals for the sacrifice for sin and the sacrifice of reparation, and where they must bake the oblation, without having to carry them into the outer court and so run the risk of hallowing the people.’
21 He then took me into the outer court and led me to each of its four corners; in each corner of the outer court was a compound;
22 in other words, the four corners of the court contained four small compounds, forty cubits by thirty, all four being the same size.
23 All four were enclosed by a wall, with hearths all round the bottom of the wall.
24 He said, ‘These are the kitchens where the Temple servants must boil the sacrifices offered by the people.’
Ezekiel 47
1 He brought me back to the entrance of the Temple, where a stream flowed eastwards from under the Temple threshold, for the Temple faced east. The water flowed from under the right side of the Temple, south of the altar.
2 He took me out by the north gate and led me right round outside as far as the outer east gate where the water flowed out on the right-hand side.
3 The man went off to the east holding his measuring line and measured off a thousand cubits; he then made me wade across the stream; the water reached my ankles.
4 He measured off another thousand and made me wade across the stream again; the water reached my knees. He measured off another thousand and made me wade across the stream again; the water reached my waist.
5 He measured off another thousand; it was now a river which I could not cross; the stream had swollen and was now deep water, a river impossible to cross.
6 He then said, ‘Do you see, son of man?’ He then took me and brought me back to the bank on the river.
7 Now, when I reached it, I saw an enormous number of trees on each bank of the river.
8 He said, ‘This water flows east down to the Arabah and to the sea; and flowing into the sea it makes its waters wholesome.
9 Wherever the river flows, all living creatures teeming in it will live. Fish will be very plentiful, for wherever the water goes it brings health, and life teems wherever the river flows.
10 There will be fishermen on its banks. Fishing nets will be spread from En-Gedi to En-Eglaim. The species of fish will be the same as the fish of the Great Sea.
11 The marshes and lagoons, however, will not become wholesome, but will remain salt.
12 Along the river, on either bank, will grow every kind of fruit tree with leaves that never wither and fruit that never fails; they will bear new fruit every month, because this water comes from the sanctuary. And their fruit will be good to eat and the leaves medicinal.’
13 ‘The Lord Yahweh says this, “This will be the territory which you must distribute among the twelve tribes of Israel, with two portions for Joseph.
14 You will each have a fair share of it, since I swore to your fathers that I would give it to them, and this country now falls to you as your heritage.
15 These will be the frontiers of the country. On the north, from the Great Sea, the road from Hethlon to the Pass of Hamath, Zedad,
16 Berothah, Sibraim lying between the territories of Damascus and Hamath, to Hazer-ha-Tikon on the borders of Hauran;
17 the frontier will extend from the sea to Hazer-Enon, with the territory of Damascus and the territory of Hamath to the north; that will be the northern frontier.
18 On the east, the Jordan will serve as frontier between Hauran and Damascus, between Gilead and Israel, down to the Eastern Sea as far as Tamar; that will be the eastern frontier.
19 On the south, from Tamar southward to the Waters of Meribah in Kadesh, to the Wadi and the Great Sea; that will be the southern frontier.
20 And to the west, the Great Sea will serve as frontier up to the point opposite the Pass of Hamath; that will be the western frontier.
21 You must distribute this country among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
22 You must distribute it as a heritage for yourselves and the aliens settled among you who have fathered children among you, since you must treat them as citizens of Israel. They must draw lots for their heritage with you, among the tribes of Israel.
23 You will give the alien his heritage in the tribe where he has settled — declares the Lord Yahweh.” ‘
Ezekiel 48
1 ‘ “This is the list of the tribes. One portion in the far north by way of Hethlon to the Pass of Hamath, to Hazer-Enon, with the territory of Damascus to the north, and marching with Hamath, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Dan.
2 One portion bordering Dan, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Asher.
3 One portion bordering Asher, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Naphtali.
4 One portion bordering Naphtali, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Manasseh.
5 One portion bordering Manasseh, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Ephraim.
6 One portion bordering Ephraim, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Reuben.
7 One portion bordering Reuben, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Judah.
8 One portion bordering Judah, from the eastern limit to the western limit, is the portion which you must set aside, twenty-five thousand cubits wide, and as long as each of the other portions from the eastern limit to the western limit. The sanctuary will be in the centre of it.
9 “The portion which you must set aside for Yahweh must be twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand cubits wide.
10 This sacred portion must belong to the priests, being, on the north side, twenty-five thousand cubits; on the west side ten thousand cubits wide, on the east side ten thousand cubits wide and on the south side twenty-five thousand cubits long; the sanctuary of Yahweh will be in the centre of it.
11 This will be for the consecrated priests, those of the sons of Zadok who maintained my liturgy and did not go astray with the straying Israelites, as the Levites went astray.
12 And so their portion must be taken out of the especially holy portion of the land, near the territory of the Levites.
13 The territory of the Levites, like the territory of the priests, must be twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide — the whole length being twenty-five thousand and the width ten thousand.
14 It will be illegal for them to sell or exchange any part of it, and the domain can never be alienated, since it is consecrated to Yahweh.
15 As regards the remainder, an area of five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand, this must be for the common use of the city, for houses and pastures. In the middle will be the city.
16 These will be its dimensions: on the north side, four thousand five hundred cubits; on the south side, four thousand five hundred cubits; on the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits; on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits.
17 The pasture land of the city must extend two hundred and fifty cubits to the north, two hundred and fifty to the south, two hundred and fifty to the east, two hundred and fifty to the west.
18 One strip, contiguous to the sacred portion, must be left over, consisting of ten thousand cubits to eastward and ten thousand to westward, marching with the sacred portion; this will bring in a revenue for feeding the municipal workmen.
19 And the municipal workmen, drawn from all the tribes of Israel, will farm it.
20 The portion must have a total area of twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand. You must allocate a square area from the sacred portion to constitute the city.
21 What is left over will be for the prince, on either side of the sacred portion and of the property of the city, marching with the twenty-five thousand cubits to eastward to the eastern frontier, and marching with the twenty-five thousand cubits to westward to the western frontier– running parallel with the other portions and belonging to the prince. In the centre will be the sacred portion and the sanctuary of the Temple.
22 Thus, apart from the property of the Levites and the property of the city which lie in the middle of the prince’s portion, everything between the borders of Judah and the borders of Ben- jamin must belong to the prince.
23 “As regards the rest of the tribes: One portion from the eastern limit to the western limit: Benjamin.
24 One portion bordering Benjamin, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Simeon.
25 One portion bordering Simeon, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Issachar.
26 One portion bordering Issachar, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Zebulun.
27 One portion bordering Zebulun, from the eastern limit to the western limit: Gad.
28 On the southern border of Gad, on the south side, the border will run from Tamar to the Waters of Meribah in Kadesh, to the Wadi and the Great Sea.
29 This is how you must distribute the country to the tribes of Israel as their heritage, and these must be their portions — declares the Lord Yahweh.
30 “Here are the exits from the city. On the north side, four thousand five hundred cubits are to be measured off.
31 The gates of the city are to be named after the tribes of Israel. Three gates to the north: one the gate of Reuben; one the gate of Judah; one the gate of Levi.
32 On the east side, there will be four thousand five hundred cubits and three gates: one the gate of Joseph; one the gate of Benjamin; one the gate of Dan.
33 On the south side, four thousand five hundred cubits are to be measured off, and there are to be three gates: one the gate of Simeon; one the gate of Issachar; one the gate of Zebulun.
34 On the west side, there will be four thousand five hundred cubits and three gates: one the gate of Gad; one the gate of Asher; one the gate of Naphtali.
35 Total perimeter: eighteen thousand cubits. “The name of the city in future must be: Yahweh-is-there.” ‘
Luke 18
1 Then he told them a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart.
2 ‘There was a judge in a certain town,’ he said, ‘who had neither fear of God nor respect for anyone.
3 In the same town there was also a widow who kept on coming to him and saying, “I want justice from you against my enemy!”
4 For a long time he refused, but at last he said to himself, “Even though I have neither fear of God nor respect for any human person,
5 I must give this widow her just rights since she keeps pestering me, or she will come and slap me in the face.” ‘
6 And the Lord said, ‘You notice what the unjust judge has to say?
7 Now, will not God see justice done to his elect if they keep calling to him day and night even though he still delays to help them?
8 I promise you, he will see justice done to them, and done speedily. But when the Son of man comes, will he find any faith on earth?’
9 He spoke the following parable to some people who prided themselves on being upright and despised everyone else,
10 ‘Two men went up to the Temple to pray, one a Pharisee, the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood there and said this prayer to himself, “I thank you, God, that I am not grasping, unjust, adulterous like everyone else, and particularly that I am not like this tax collector here.
12 I fast twice a week; I pay tithes on all I get.”
13 The tax collector stood some distance away, not daring even to raise his eyes to heaven; but he beat his breast and said, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner.”
14 This man, I tell you, went home again justified; the other did not. For everyone who raises himself up will be humbled, but anyone who humbles himself will be raised up.’
15 People even brought babies to him, for him to touch them; but when the disciples saw this they scolded them.
16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
17 In truth I tell you, anyone who does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’
18 One of the rulers put this question to him, ‘Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?’
19 Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
20 You know the commandments: You shall not commit adultery; You shall not kill; You shall not steal; You shall not give false witness; Honour your father and your mother.’
21 He replied, ‘I have kept all these since my earliest days.’
22 And when Jesus heard this he said, ‘There is still one thing you lack. Sell everything you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’
23 But when he heard this he was overcome with sadness, for he was very rich.
24 Jesus looked at him and said, ‘How hard it is for those who have riches to make their way into the kingdom of God!
25 Yes, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for someone rich to enter the kingdom of God.’
26 Those who were listening said, ‘In that case, who can be saved?’
27 He replied, ‘Things that are impossible by human resources, are possible for God.’
28 But Peter said, ‘Look, we left all we had to follow you.’
29 He said to them, ‘In truth I tell you, there is no one who has left house, wife, brothers, parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
30 who will not receive many times as much in this present age and, in the world to come, eternal life.’
31 Then taking the Twelve aside he said to them, ‘Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of man is to come true.
32 For he will be handed over to the gentiles and will be mocked, maltreated and spat on,
33 and when they have scourged him they will put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.’
34 But they could make nothing of this; what he said was quite obscure to them, they did not understand what he was telling them.
35 Now it happened that as he drew near to Jericho there was a blind man sitting at the side of the road begging.
36 When he heard the crowd going past he asked what it was all about,
37 and they told him that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by.
38 So he called out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me.’
39 The people in front scolded him and told him to keep quiet, but he only shouted all the louder, ‘Son of David, have pity on me.’
40 Jesus stopped and ordered them to bring the man to him, and when he came up, asked him,
41 ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ ‘Sir,’ he replied, ‘let me see again.’
42 Jesus said to him, ‘Receive your sight. Your faith has saved you.’
43 And instantly his sight returned and he followed him praising God, and all the people who saw it gave praise to God.
