Exodus 35:1–36:38
1And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said, These are the words which the Lord has spoken for [you] to do them. 2Six days shalt thou perform works, but on the seventh day [shall be] rest—a holy sabbath—a rest for the Lord: every one that does work on it, let him die. 3Ye shall not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day; I [am] the Lord. 4And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the Lord has appointed you, saying, 5Take of yourselves an offering for the Lord: every one that engages in his heart shall bring the first-fruits to the Lord; gold, silver, brass, 6blue, purple, double scarlet spun, and fine linen spun, and goats' hair, 7and rams' skins dyed red, and skins [dyed] blue, and incorruptible wood, 9and sardine stones, and stones for engraving for the shoulder-piece and full-length robe. 10And every man that is wise in heart among you, let him come and work all things whatsoever the Lord has commanded. 11The tabernacle, and the cords, and the coverings, and the rings, and the bars, and the posts, 12and the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and its propitiatory, and the veil, and the curtains of the court, and its posts, and the emerald stones, and the incense, and the anointing oil, 13and the table and all its furniture, 14and the candlestick for the light and all its furniture, 16and the altar and all its furniture; 19and the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments in which they shall do service; and the garments of priesthood for the sons of Aaron and the anointing oil, and the compound incense. 20And all the congregation of the children of Israel went out from Moses. And they brought, they whose heart prompted them, and they to whomsoever it seemed good in their mind, each an offering: 21and they brought an offering to the Lord for all the works of the tabernacle of witness, and all its services, and for all the robes of the sanctuary. 22And the men, even every one to whom it seemed good in his heart, brought from the women, [even] brought seals and ear-rings, and finger-rings, and necklaces, and bracelets, every article of gold. 23And all as many as brought ornaments of gold to the Lord, and with whomsoever fine linen was found; and they brought skins [dyed] blue, and rams' skins dyed red. 24And every one that offered an offering brought silver and brass, the offerings to the Lord; and [they] with whom was found incorruptible wood; and they brought [offerings] for all the works of the preparation. 25And every woman skilled in her heart to spin with her hands, brought spun [articles], the blue, and purple, and scarlet and fine linen. 26And all the women to whom it seemed good in their heart in their wisdom, spun the goats' hair. 27And the rulers brought the emerald stones, and the stones for setting in the ephod, and the oracle, 28and the compounds both for the anointing oil, and the composition of the incense. 29And every man and woman whose mind inclined them to come in and do all the works as many as the Lord appointed them to do by Moses—[they] the children of Israel brought an offering to the Lord. 30And Moses said to the children of Israel, Behold, God has called by name Beseleel the [son] of Urias the [son of] Or, of the tribe of Juda, 31and has filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom and understanding, and knowledge of all things, 32to labour skilfully in all works of cunning workmanship, to form the gold and the silver and the brass, 33and to work in stone, and to fashion the wood, and to work in every work of wisdom. 34And [God] gave improvement in understanding both to him, and to Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan. 35And [God] filled them with wisdom, understanding [and] perception, to understand to work all the works of the sanctuary, and to weave the woven and embroidered work with scarlet and fine linen, to do all work of curious workmanship [and] embroidery. Chapter 361And Beseleel wrought, and Eliab and every one wise in understanding, to whom was given wisdom and knowledge, to understand to do all the works according to the holy offices, according to all things which the Lord appointed. 2And Moses called Beseleel and Eliab, and all that had wisdom, to whom God gave knowledge in [their] heart, and all who were freely willing to come forward to the works, to perform them. 3And they received from Moses all the offerings, which the children of Israel brought for all the works of the sanctuary to do them; and they continued to receive the gifts brought, from those who brought them in the morning. 4And there came all the wise men who wrought the works of the sanctuary, each according to his own work, which they wrought. 5And one said to Moses, The people bring an abundance [too great] in proportion to all the works which the Lord has appointed [them] to do. 6And Moses commanded, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman any longer labour for the offerings of the sanctuary; and the people were restrained from bringing any more. 7And they had materials sufficient for making the furniture, and they left some besides. 8And every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy places, which belong to Aaron the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses. 9And he made the ephod of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. 10And the plates were divided, the threads of gold, so as to interweave with the blue and purple, and with the spun scarlet, and the fine linen twined, they made it a woven work; 11shoulder-pieces joined from both sides, a work woven by mutual twisting of the parts into one another. 12They made it of the same material according to the making of it, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, as the Lord commanded Moses; 13and they made the two emerald stones clasped together and set in gold, graven and cut after the cutting of a seal with the names of the children of Israel; 14and he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, [as] stones of memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord appointed Moses. 15And they made the oracle, a work woven with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. 16They made the oracle square [and] double, the length of a span, and the breadth of a span,—double. 17And there was interwoven with it a woven work of four rows of stones, a series of stones, the first row, a sardius and topaz and emerald; 18and the second row, a carbuncle and sapphire and jasper; 19and the third row, a ligure and agate and amethyst; 20and the fourth row a chrysolite and beryl and onyx set round about with gold, and fastened with gold. 21And the stones were twelve according to the names of the children of Israel, graven according to their names like seals, each according to his own name for the twelve tribes. 22And they made on the oracle turned wreaths, wreathen work, of pure gold, 23and they made two golden circlets and two golden rings. And they put the two golden rings on both the [upper] corners of the oracle; 24and they put the golden wreaths on the rings on both sides of the oracle, 25and the two wreaths into the two couplings. And they put them on the two circlets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod opposite [each other] in front. 26And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two projections on the top of the oracle, and on the top of the hinder part of the ephod within. 27And they made two golden rings, and put them on both the shoulders of the ephod under it, in front by the coupling above the connexion of the ephod. 28And he fastened the oracle by the rings that were on it to the rings of the ephod, which were fastened with [a string] of blue, joined together with the woven work of the ephod; that the oracle should not be loosed from the ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses. 29And they made the tunic under the ephod, woven work, all of blue. 30And the opening of the tunic in the midst woven closely together, the opening having a fringe round about, that it might not be rent. 31And they made on the border of the tunic below pomegranates as of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. 32And they made golden bells, and put the bells on the border of the tunic round about between the pomegranates: 33a golden bell and a pomegranate on the border of the tunic round about, for the ministration, as the Lord commanded Moses. 34And they made vestments of fine linen, a woven work, for Aaron and his sons, 35and the tires of fine linen, and the mitre of fine linen, and the drawers of fine linen twined; 36and their girdles of fine linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet spun, the work of an embroiderer, according as the Lord commanded Moses. 37And they made the golden plate, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold; and he wrote upon it graven letters [as] of a seal, Holiness to the Lord. 38And they put it on the border of blue, so that it should be on the mitre above, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Psalm 21:1–8(MT: 22)
MT Psalm 22 = LXX Psalm 21 (standard offset).
1A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall want nothing. 2In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest. 3He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake. 4Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, these have comforted me. 5Thou hast prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: thou hast thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and thy cup cheers me like the best [wine]. 6Thy mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 8:6–11
6Hearken to me; for I will speak solemn [truths]; and will produce right [sayings] from my lips. 7For my throat shall meditate truth; and false lips are an abomination before me. 8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing in them wrong or perverse. 9They are all evident to those that understand, and right to those that find knowledge. 10Receive instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than tried gold. 11For wisdom is better than precious stones; and no valuable substance is of equal worth with it.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 26:26–50
26And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom. 30And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. 31Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. 32But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. 33Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. 34Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 35Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. 36Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 43And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. 47And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. 49And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 50And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
