Genesis 3
| Now the serpent was more
subtle than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every
tree of the garden? |
| And the woman said unto the
serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of
the garden: |
| But of the fruit of the
tree which is in the midst of the garden, God
hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall
ye touch it, lest ye die. |
| And the serpent said unto
the woman, Ye shall not surely die: |
| For God doth know that in
the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be
opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good
and evil. |
| And when the woman saw that
the tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired
to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof,
and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with
her; and he did eat. |
| And the eyes of them both
were opened, and they knew that they were naked;
and they sewed fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons. |
| And they heard the voice of
the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool
of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves
from the presence of the LORD God amongst the
trees of the garden. |
| And the LORD God called
unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? |
| And he said, I heard thy
voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I
was naked; and I hid myself. |
| And he said, Who told thee
that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the
tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou
shouldest not eat? |
| And the man said, The woman
whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of
the tree, and I did eat. |
| And the LORD God said unto
the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And
the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I
did eat. |
Genesis 3:1-13 |
Genesis 27
| And it came to pass, that
when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so
that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest
son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto
him, Behold, here am I. |
| And he said, Behold now, I
am old, I know not the day of my death: |
| Now therefore take, I pray
thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and
go out to the field, and take me some venison; |
| And make me savoury meat,
such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may
eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. |
| And Rebekah heard when
Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to
the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. |
| And Rebekah spake unto
Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy
father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, |
| Bring me venison, and make
me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee
before the LORD before my death. |
| Now therefore, my son, obey
my voice according to that which I command thee. |
| Go now to the flock, and
fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats;
and I will make them savoury meat for thy
father, such as he loveth: |
| And thou shalt bring it to
thy father, that he may eat, and that he may
bless thee before his death. |
| And Jacob said to Rebekah
his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy
man, and I am a smooth man: |
| My father peradventure will
feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver;
and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a
blessing. |
| And his mother said unto
him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my
voice, and go fetch me them. |
| And he went, and fetched,
and brought them to his mother: and his mother
made savoury meat, such as his father loved. |
Genesis 27:1-14 |
Genesis 27
| And Rebekah took goodly
raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with
her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her
younger son: |
| And she put the skins of
the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon
the smooth of his neck: |
| And she gave the savoury
meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into
the hand of her son Jacob. |
| And he came unto his
father, and said, My father: and he said, Here
am I; who art thou, my son? |
| And Jacob said unto his
father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done
according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee,
sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may
bless me. |
| And Isaac said unto his
son, How is it that thou hast found it so
quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD
thy God brought it to me. |
| And Isaac said unto Jacob,
Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my
son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. |
| And Jacob went near unto
Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The
voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the
hands of Esau. |
| And he discerned him not,
because his hands were hairy, as his brother
Esau's hands: so he blessed him. |
| And he said, Art thou my
very son Esau? And he said, I am. |
| And he said, Bring it near
to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that
my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near
to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine,
and he drank. |
| And his father Isaac said
unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. |
| And he came near, and
kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his
raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the
smell of my son is as the smell of a field which
the LORD hath blessed: |
Genesis 27:15-27 |
Acts 12
| Now about that time Herod
the king stretched forth his hands to vex
certain of the church. |
| And he killed James the
brother of John with the sword. |
| And because he saw it
pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take
Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened
bread.) |
| And when he had apprehended
him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to
four quaternions of soldiers to keep him;
intending after Easter to bring him forth to the
people. |
| Peter therefore was kept in
prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of
the church unto God for him. |
| And when Herod would have
brought him forth, the same night Peter was
sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two
chains: and the keepers before the door kept the
prison. |
| And, behold, the angel of
the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in
the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and
raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his
chains fell off from his hands. |
| And the angel said unto
him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And
so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy
garment about thee, and follow me. |
| And he went out, and
followed him; and wist not that it was true
which was done by the angel; but thought he saw
a vision. |
| When they were past the
first and the second ward, they came unto the
iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which
opened to them of his own accord: and they went
out, and passed on through one street; and
forthwith the angel departed from him. |
| And when Peter was come to
himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that
the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered
me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the
expectation of the people of the Jews. |
| And when he had considered
the thing, he came to the house of Mary the
mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where
many were gathered together praying. |
| And as Peter knocked at the
door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken,
named Rhoda. |
| And when she knew Peter's
voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but
ran in, and told how Peter stood before the
gate. |
| And they said unto her,
Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that
it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel. |
| But Peter continued
knocking: and when they had opened the door, and
saw him, they were astonished. |
| "But he, beckoning unto
them with the hand to hold their peace, declared
unto them how the Lord had brought him out of
the prison. And he said, Go show these things
unto James, and to the brethren. And he
departed, and went into another place. |
| And when Herod had sought
for him, and found him not, he examined the
keepers, and commanded that they should be put
to death. And he went down from Judaea to
Caesarea, and there abode. |
