(Exodus
12:1-30)
"And the
LORD spake
unto Moses and Aaron the land of Egypt, saying, {2}
This
month shall
be unto
you the beginning of months: it shall
be the
first month of the year to you.
{3} ¶
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying,
In the tenth
day
of this month
they shall take to them every man a lamb,
according to the house of their
fathers, a lamb for an house:
{4} And
if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his
neighbour next unto his house take it
according to the number of the
souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for
the lamb. {5}
Your lamb shall be without
blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it
out from the sheep, or from
the goats:
{6}
And
ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth
day
of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of
Israel shall kill it in the evening.
{7}
And
they shall take of the blood, and strike it
on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses,
wherein they shall eat it.
{8} And
they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and
unleavened bread; and
with bitter herbs
they shall eat it. {9}
Eat not of it raw, nor sodden
at all with water, but roast with
fire; his head with his legs,
and with the purtenance thereof. {10}
And ye
shall
let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth
of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. {11}
¶ And thus shall ye eat it;
with your
loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand;
and ye shall eat it in haste: it
is
the LORD’S passover. {12}
For
I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all
the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against
all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am
the
LORD.
{
13}
And
the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are:
and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall
not be upon you to destroy you,
when I smite the land of Egypt.
{14}
And this day shall be unto you
for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD
throughout your generations;
ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
{15}
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall
put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened
bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be
cut off from Israel. {16}
And in the first day there
shall be an holy
convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy
convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save
that
which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. {17}
And ye shall observe the
feast of unleavened
bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the
land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your
generations by an ordinance for ever. {18}
¶ In the first month,
on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened
bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. {19}
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for
whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut
off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or
born in the land. {20}
Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat
unleavened bread. {21}
¶ Then
Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw
out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the
passover. {22} And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it
in the blood that is
in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the
blood that is
in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house
until the morning. {23} For the LORD
will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood
upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD
will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in
unto your houses to smite you.
{24}
And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy
sons for ever. {25}
And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD
will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this
service. {26}
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you,
What mean ye by this service? {27} That ye shall say, It is
the sacrifice of the LORD’S
passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in
Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses.
And the people bowed the head and worshipped. {28}
And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD
had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. {29}
¶ And
it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD
smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of
Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that
was
in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
{30}
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all
the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there
was not a house
where there was
not one dead."
(Genesis
22:1-14) "And
it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and
said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here
I am.
{2}
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son
Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and
offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which
I will tell thee of. {3}
¶ And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and
took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the
wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of
which God had told him. {4}
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place
afar off. {5}
And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and
I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. {6}
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it
upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife;
and they went both of them together. {7}
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he
said, Here am
I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is
the lamb for a burnt offering? {8}
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt
offering: so they went both of them together. {9}
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham
built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his
son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. {10}
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his
son. {11}
And the angel of the LORD
called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he
said, Here am
I. {12}
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any
thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou
hast not withheld thy son, thine only son
from me. {13}
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him
a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the
ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
{14}
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah–jireh: as it is
said to
this day, In the mount of the LORD
it shall be seen."
| (John 1:29) "¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
(Acts
8:29-35) "Then
the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this
chariot. {30}
And Philip ran thither to him,
and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou
what thou readest? {31}
And he said, How can I, except
some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up
and sit with him. {32}
The place of the scripture
which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and
like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: {33}
In his humiliation his
judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for
his life is taken from the earth. {34}
And the eunuch answered
Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of
himself, or of some other man? {35}
Then Philip opened his mouth,
and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus."
(1 Peter
1:18-21) "Forasmuch
as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as
silver and gold, from your
vain conversation received
by tradition from your
fathers; {19}
But with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: {20}
Who verily was foreordained
before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last
times for you, {21}
Who by him do believe in God,
that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith
and hope might be in God."
(Revelation
5:1-14) "And I
saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written
within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. {2}
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy
to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? {3}
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able
to open the book, neither to look thereon. {4}
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read
the book, neither to look thereon. {5}
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of
the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the
book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. {6}
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been
slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits
of God sent forth into all the earth. {7}
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat
upon the throne. {8}
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and
twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them
harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of
saints. {9}
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book,
and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed
us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people,
and nation; {10}
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign
on the earth. {11}
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the
throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten
thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; {12}
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to
receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and
glory, and blessing. {13}
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under
the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them,
heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be
unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and
ever. {14}
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and
twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and
ever."
(Revelation
7:9-17) "After
this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number,
of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before
the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms
in their hands; {10}
And cried with a loud voice,
saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto
the Lamb. {11}
And all the angels stood round
about the throne, and about
the elders and the four
beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped
God, {12}
Saying, Amen: Blessing, and
glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and
might, be
unto our God for ever and
ever. Amen. {13}
And one of the elders
answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white
robes? and whence came they? {14}
And I said unto him, Sir, thou
knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great
tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the
blood of the Lamb. {15}
Therefore are they before the
throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that
sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. {16}
They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any
heat. {17}
For the Lamb which is in the
midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living
fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes."
(Revelation
22:1-21) "And
he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal,
proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. {2}
In the midst of the street of
it, and on either side of the river, was
there the tree of
life, which bare twelve manner
of fruits, and
yielded her fruit every month:
and the leaves of the tree were
for the healing of the
nations. {3}
And there shall be no more
curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his
servants shall serve him: {4}
And they shall see his face;
and his name shall
be in their
foreheads. {5}
And there shall be no night
there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the
Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
{6} And
he said unto me, These sayings are
faithful and true: and the
Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his
servants the things which must shortly be done. {7}
Behold,
I come quickly: blessed is
he
that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
{8} And
I John saw these things, and heard them.
And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet
of the angel which shewed me these things. {9}
Then saith he unto me, See
thou do it
not: for I am thy
fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which
keep the sayings of this book: worship God. {10}
And he saith unto me, Seal not
the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
{11} He
that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let
him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous
still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. {12}
And,
behold, I come quickly; and my reward is
with
me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
{13} I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the
last. {14}
Blessed are
they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in
through the gates into the city. {15}
For without are
dogs, and sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and
maketh a lie. {16}
I Jesus
have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the
churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and
the
bright and morning star. {17}
And the Spirit and the bride
say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is
athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life
freely. {18}
For I testify unto every man
that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall
add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book: {19}
And if any man shall take away
from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his
part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from
the things which are written
in this book. {20}
He which testifieth these
things saith, Surely
I come quickly. Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus. {21}
The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be
with you all. Amen."
