Ezekiel 45:16-46:18

16 All the people of the land shall be at this heave offering for the prince in Israel.
17 And responsibility for burnt offerings shall be on the prince, and a food offering, and drink offerings, in the feasts and on the new moons and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel3. He shall make the sin offering, and the food offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to atone for the house of Israel.
18 So says Adonai YAHUVEH: In the first month, on the first of the month, you shall take a bull without blemish, a son of the herd, and cleanse the sanctuary. (Ex 12:2)
19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the door posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court.
20 And so you shall do on the seventh of the month for each man who goes astray, and for the simple. And you shall atone for the house.
21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, the Passover shall be to you; a feast of seven days, unleavened bread is eaten4.
22 And the prince shall make ready on that day for himself and for the people of the land, a bull for a sin offering.
23 And seven days of the feast he shall make ready a burnt offering to YAHUVEH, seven bulls and seven rams, without blemish, daily for the seven days, and for a sin offering a kid of the he-goats daily.
24 And a food offering of an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, he shall make ready; also of oil, a hin for an ephah.
25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he shall make ready like these seven days as the sin offering, as the burnt offering, as the food offering, and as the oil. (Ex 23:16, 34:22, Deut 16:16)

Chapter 46

1 So says Adonai YAHUVEH: The gate of the inner court that faces the east shall be shut the six days of work. But on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened1.
2 And the prince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from outside and shall stand by the gatepost. And the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. And he shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3 And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, before YAHUVEH.
4 And the burnt offering that the prince shall bring near to YAHUVEH on the Sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5 And the food offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and a food offering for the lambs, a gift of his hand; and a hin of oil to an ephah.
6 And in the day of the new moon: a bull without blemish, a son of the herd, and six lambs, and a ram, they shall be without blemish,
7 and an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram he shall prepare as a food offering; and for the lambs as his hand can reach; and a hin of oil to an ephah.
8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall enter by way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he shall go out.
9 But when the people of the land come before YAHUVEH at the appointed feasts, he who enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate. And he who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go out opposite it.2
10 And the prince shall go in among them when they go in, and he shall go out when they go out.
11 And in the feast seasons, and in the appointed feasts, the food offering shall be an ephah to a bull, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs a gift of his hand; and a hin of oil to an ephah.
12 And when the prince makes a free offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a free offering to YAHUVEH, then one shall open to him the gate facing east. And he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the Sabbath day. And he shall go out, and the gate is shut after he goes out.
13 And you shall make ready a burnt offering daily to YAHUVEH, a lamb without blemish, a son of a year; from dawn to dawn you shall make it ready.
14 And you shall make ready a food offering for it from dawn to dawn, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to wet the fine flour, a food offering to YAHUVEH, perfect statutes forever.
15 So they shall make ready the lamb, and the food offering, and the oil, from dawn to dawn as a burnt offering continually.
16 So says Adonai YAHUVEH: If the prince gives a gift to sons of his inheritance, it shall be to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.
17 But if he gives it as a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his until the year of liberty1, then it shall return to the prince. His inheritance is only his sons’; it shall be theirs.
18 And the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, oppressing them from their possession. He shall give inheritance to his sons from his possession, so that My people shall not be dispersed, each man from his possession.


John 13:1-19

1 And before the Feast of the Passover, YAHUSHUA knowing that His hour had come that He should move from this world to the Father, loving His own in the world, He loved them to the end.
2 And supper having occurred, the Devil having put already into the heart of Simon’s son Judas Iscariot that he should betray Him,
3 YAHUSHUA knowing that the Father has given all things into His hands, and that He came out from Elohim, and goes away to Elohim,
4 He rose up from the supper and laid aside His garments. And taking a towel, He girded Himself.
5 Then He put water into the basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe off with the towel with which He was girded4.
6 He then came to Simon Peter. And that one said to Him, Master, do You wash my feet?
7 YAHUSHUA answered and said to him, The thing that I do you do not understand now, but afterwards you will know.
8 Peter said to Him, You may never wash my feet for me. YAHUSHUA answered him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.
9 Simon Peter said to Him, Master, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.
10 YAHUSHUA said to him, The one having been immersed has no need other than to wash the feet, for all of him is clean5. And you are clean, but not all.
11 For He knew the one betraying Him. For this reason He said, You are not all clean.
12 Then when He had washed their feet and had taken His garments, reclining again, He said to them, Do you know what I have done to you?
13 You call Me the Teacher, and, the Master. And you say well, for I AM.
14 If then I washed your feet, the Master and the Teacher, you also ought to wash the feet of one another.
15 For I gave you an example, that as I did to you, you also should do1.
16 Truly, truly, I say to you, A slave is not greater than his Master, nor a messenger greater than the one sending him.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
18 I do not speak concerning all of you; I know whom I chose out; but that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “The one eating the bread with Me lifted up his heel against Me.” (Psa.41:9)
19 From now on I will say to you a thing before it happens, so that when it happens you will believe that I Am.

Luke 16:1-13

1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
