First Portion

Exodus Chapter 21

1And these are the ordinances that you shall set before them.2Should you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall work [for] six years, and in the seventh [year], he shall go out to freedom without charge.3If he comes [in] alone, he shall go out alone; if he is a married man, his wife shall go out with him.4If his master gives him a wife, and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out alone.5But if the slave says, "I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go free,"6his master shall bring him to the judges, and he shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.7Now if a man sells his daughter as a maidservant, she shall not go free as the slaves go free.8If she is displeasing to her master, who did not designate her [for himself], then he shall enable her to be redeemed; he shall not rule over her to sell her to another person, when he betrays her.9And if he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her according to the law of the daughters [of Israel].10If he takes another [wife] for himself, he shall not diminish her sustenance, her clothing, or her marital relations.11And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go free without charge, without [payment of] money.12One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.13But one who did not stalk [him], but God brought [it] about into his hand, I will make a place for you to which he shall flee.14But if a man plots deliberately against his friend to slay him with cunning, [even] from My altar you shall take him to die.15And one who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.16And whoever kidnaps a man and sells him, and he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death.17And one who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.18And if men quarrel, and one strikes the other with a stone or with a fist, and he does not die but is confined to [his] bed,19if he gets up and walks about outside on his support, the assailant shall be cleared; he shall give only [payment] for his [enforced] idleness, and he shall provide for his cure.

Luke 8:1–3 (LEB): Some Women Accompany Jesus

8 And it happened that ⌊afterward⌋ also he was going about from one town and village to another preaching and proclaiming the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the twelve were with him, 2 and some women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (who was called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod’s household manager), and Susanna, and many others who were helping to support them from their possessions.

Mark 15:40 (LEB):

40 And there were also women observing from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and Joses, and Salome,

John 20:10–18 (LEB): Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

10 Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.* 11 But Mary stood outside at the tomb, weeping. Then, while she was weeping, she bent over to look into the tomb, 12 and she saw two angels in white, seated one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been lying. 13 And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him!” 14 When she* had said these things, she turned ⌊around⌋ and saw Jesus standing there, and she did not know that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She thought that it was the gardener, and* said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned around and* said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni” (which means “Teacher”). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’ ” 18 Mary Magdalene came and* announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and he had said these things to her.

Second Portion

Exodus Chapter 21

20And should a man strike his manservant or his maidservant with a rod, and [that one] die under his hand, he shall surely be avenged.21But if he survives for a day or for two days, he shall not be avenged, because he is his property.22And should men quarrel and hit a pregnant woman, and she miscarries but there is no fatality, he shall surely be punished, when the woman's husband makes demands of him, and he shall give [restitution] according to the judges' [orders].23But if there is a fatality, you shall give a life for a life,24an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,25a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, a bruise for a bruise.26And if a man strikes the eye of his manservant or the eye of his maidservant and destroys it, he shall set him free in return for his eye,27and if he knocks out the tooth of his manservant or the tooth of his maidservant, he shall set him free in return for his tooth.28And if a bull gores a man or a woman and [that one] dies, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, and the owner of the bull is clear.29But if it is a [habitually] goring bull since yesterday and the day before yesterday, and its owner had been warned, but he did not guard it, and it puts to death a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and also its owner shall be put to death,30insofar as ransom shall be levied upon him, he shall give the redemption of his soul according to all that is levied upon him.31Or if it gores a young boy or a young girl, according to this ordinance shall be done to him.32If the bull gores a manservant or a maidservant, he shall give silver [in the amount of] thirty shekels to his master, and the bull shall be stoned.33And if a person opens a pit, or if a person digs a pit and does not cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,34the owner of the pit shall pay; he shall return money to its owner, and the dead body shall be his.35And if a man's bull strikes his friend's bull and it dies, they shall sell the live bull and divide the money received for it, and they shall also divide the dead body.36Or if it was known that it was a [habitually] goring bull since yesterday and the day before yesterday, and its owner does not watch it, he shall surely pay a bull for a bull, and the dead body shall be his.37If a man steals a bull or a lamb and slaughters it or sells it, he shall pay five cattle for the bull or four sheep for the lamb.Exodus Chapter 22 1If, while breaking in, the thief is discovered, and he is struck and dies, [it is as if] he has no blood.2If the sun shone upon him, [it is as if] he has blood; he shall surely pay. If he has no [money], he shall be sold for his theft.3If the stolen article is found in his possession whether a bull, a donkey, or a lamb live ones he shall pay twofold.

1 Corinthians 15:1–11 (LEB): Paul’s Gospel and the Resurrection of Christ

15 Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I proclaimed to you, which you have also received, in which you also stand, 2 by which you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the message I proclaimed to you, unless you believed to no purpose. 3 For I passed on to you ⌊as of first importance⌋ what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, 4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised up on the third day according to the scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, 6 then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, the majority of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all, as it were to one born at the wrong time, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain, but I labored even more than all of them, and not I, but the grace of God with me. 11 Therefore whether I or those, in this way we preached, and in this way you believed.

Third Portion

Exodus Chapter 22

4If a man leads his animals into a field or a vineyard, or lets his animal loose and it eats in another's field, the best of his field or the best of his vineyard he shall pay.5If a fire goes forth and finds thorns, and a stack of grain or standing grain or the field be consumed, the one who ignited the fire shall surely pay.6If a man gives his neighbor money or articles for safekeeping, and it is stolen from the man's house, if the thief is found, he shall pay twofold.7If the thief is not found, the homeowner shall approach the judges, [to swear] that he has not laid his hand upon his neighbor's property.8For any sinful word, for a bull, for a donkey, for a lamb, for a garment, for any lost article, concerning which he will say that this is it, the plea[s] of both parties shall come to the judges, [and] whoever the judges declare guilty shall pay twofold to his neighbor.9If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, a bull, a lamb, or any animal for safekeeping, and it dies, breaks a limb, or is captured, and no one sees [it],10the oath of the Lord shall be between the two of them provided that he did not lay his hand upon his neighbor's property, and its owner shall accept [it], and he shall not pay.11But if it is stolen from him, he shall pay its owner.12If it is torn apart, he shall bring witness for it; [for] the torn one he shall not pay.13And if a person borrows [an animal] from his neighbor and it breaks a limb or dies, if its owner is not with him, he shall surely pay.14If its owner is with him, he shall not pay; if it is a hired [animal], it has come for its hire.15If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall provide her with a marriage contract as a wife.16If her father refuses to give her to him [in marriage], he shall weigh out money according to the dowry of the virgins.17You shall not allow a sorceress to live.18Whoever lies [carnally] with an animal shall surely be put to death.19He who slaughters [a sacrifice] to the gods shall be destroyed, except to the Lord alone.20And you shall not mistreat a stranger, nor shall you oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.21You shall not oppress any widow or orphan.22If you oppress him, [beware,] for if he cries out to Me, I will surely hear his cry.23My wrath will be kindled, and I will slay you with the sword, and your wives will be widows and your children orphans.24When you lend money to My people, to the poor person [who is] with you, you shall not behave toward him as a lender; you shall not impose interest upon him.25If you take your neighbor's garment as security, until sunset you shall return it to him,26for it is his only covering; it is his garment for his skin. With what shall he lie? And it shall be [that] if he cries out to Me, I will hear because I am gracious.

Tuesday

John 19:25–30 (LEB):

25 Now his mother and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene were standing near the cross of Jesus. 26 So Jesus, seeing his* mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, said to his* mother, “Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.

Jesus Dies on the Cross

28 After this, Jesus, knowing that now at last everything was completed, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and* brought it* to his mouth. 30 Then when he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed,” and bowing his* head, he gave up his* spirit.

Fourth Portion

Exodus Chapter 22

27You shall not curse a judge, neither shall you curse a prince among your people.28Your fullness offering and your heave offering you shall not delay; the firstborn of your sons you shall give Me.29So shall you do with your cattle and with your sheep: seven days it shall be with its mother, on the eighth day you may give it to Me.30And you shall be holy people to Me, and flesh torn in the field you shall not eat; you shall throw it to the dog[s].Exodus Chapter 23 1You shall not accept a false report; do not place your hand with a wicked person to be a false witness.2You shall not follow the majority for evil, and you shall not respond concerning a lawsuit to follow many to pervert [justice].3Neither shall you glorify a poor man in his lawsuit.4If you come upon your enemy's bull or his stray donkey, you shall surely return it to him.5If you see your enemy's donkey lying under its burden would you refrain from helping him? You shall surely help along with him.

Wednesday

Mark 16:1–8 (LEB): Jesus Is Raised

16 And when* the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome purchased fragrant spices so that they could go and* anoint him. 2 And very early in the morning on the first day of the week they came to the tomb after* the sun had risen. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 And when they* looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away (for it was very large). 5 And as they* were going into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified. He has been raised, he is not here! See the place where they laid him! 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.” 8 And they went out and* fled from the tomb, because trembling and amazement had seized them. And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

Fifth Portion

Exodus Chapter 23

6You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor man in his lawsuit.7Distance yourself from a false matter; and do not kill a truly innocent person or one who has been declared innocent, for I will not vindicate a guilty person.8You shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe will blind the clear sighted and corrupt words that are right.9And you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the feelings of the stranger, since you were strangers in the land of Egypt.10Six years you may sow your land and gather in its produce.11But in the seventh [year] you shall release it and abandon it; the poor of your people shall eat [it], and what they leave over, the beasts of the field shall eat. So shall you do to your vineyard [and] to your olive tree[s].12Six days you may do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest, in order that your ox and your donkey shall rest, and your maidservant's son and the stranger shall be refreshed.13Concerning all that I have said to you you shall beware, and the name of the gods of others you shall not mention; it shall not be heard through your mouth.14Three times you shall slaughter sacrifices to Me during the year.15You shall observe the festival of unleavened bread; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread as I have commanded you, at the appointed time of the month of springtime, for then you left Egypt, and they shall not appear before Me empty handed.16And the festival of the harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you will sow in the field, and the festival of the ingathering at the departure of the year, when you gather in [the products of] your labors from the field.17Three times during the year, all your males shall appear before the Master, the Lord.18You shall not sacrifice the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, and the fat of My festive sacrifice shall not stay overnight until morning.19The choicest of the first fruits of your soil you shall bring to the house of the Lord, your God. You shall not cook a kid in its mother's milk.

Thursday John 20:1–9 (LEB): Jesus Is Raised

20 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it* was still dark, and saw the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord from the tomb and we do not know where they have put him!” 3 Then Peter and the other disciple went out and were going to the tomb. 4 And the two were running together, and the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first. 5 And bending over to look, he saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, though he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter also came following him, and he went into the tomb and saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, 7 and the facecloth that was on his head—not lying with the strips of linen cloth, but folded up separately in one place. 8 So then the other disciple who had come to the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed. 9 (For they did not yet know the scripture that it was necessary for him to rise from the dead.)

Sixth Portion

Exodus Chapter 23

20Behold, I am sending an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.21Beware of him and obey him; do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your transgression, for My Name is within him.22For if you hearken to his voice and do all that I say, I will hate your enemies and oppress your adversaries.23For My angel will go before you, and bring you to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivvites, and the Jebusites, and I will destroy them.24You shall not prostrate yourself before their gods, and you shall not worship them, and you shall not follow their practices, but you shall tear them down and you shall utterly shatter their monuments.25And you shall worship the Lord, your God, and He will bless your food and your drink, and I will remove illness from your midst.26There will be no bereaved or barren woman in your land; I will fill the number of your days.27I will send My fear before you, and I will confuse all the people among whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.28And I will send the tzir'ah before you, and it will drive out the Hivvites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.29I will not drive them away from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field outnumber you.30I will drive them out from before you little by little, until you have increased and can occupy the land.31And I will make your boundary from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river, for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and you shall drive them out from before you.32You shall not form a covenant for them or for their gods.33They shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me, that you will worship their gods, which will be a snare for you.Exodus Chapter 24 1And to Moses He said, "Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and prostrate yourselves from afar.2And Moses alone shall approach the Lord but they shall not approach, and the people shall not ascend with him."3So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances, and all the people answered in unison and said, "All the words that the Lord has spoken we will do."4And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord, and he arose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain and twelve monuments for the twelve tribes of Israel.5And he sent the youths of the children of Israel, and they offered up burnt offerings, and they slaughtered peace offerings to the Lord, bulls.6And Moses took half the blood and put it into the basins, and half the blood he cast onto the altar.7And he took the Book of the Covenant and read it within the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that the Lord spoke we will do and we will hear."8And Moses took the blood and sprinkled [it] on the people, and he said, "Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning these words."9And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended,10and they perceived the God of Israel, and beneath His feet was like the forming of a sapphire brick and like the appearance of the heavens for clarity.11And upon the nobles of the children of Israel He did not lay His hand, and they perceived God, and they ate and drank.12And the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to Me to the mountain and remain there, and I will give you the stone tablets, the Law and the commandments, which I have written to instruct them."13So Moses and Joshua, his servant, arose, and Moses ascended to the mount of God.14And to the elders he said, "Wait for us here until we return to you, and here Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a case, let him go to them."15And Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.16And the glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days, and He called to Moses on the seventh day from within the cloud.17And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire atop the mountain, before the eyes of the children of Israel.18And Moses came within the cloud, and he went up to the mountain, and Moses was upon the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Friday

Matthew 28:1–10 (LEB): Jesus Is Raised

28 Now after the Sabbath, at the dawning on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to view the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came up and* rolled away the stone and sat down on it. 3 Now his appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow. 4 And the guards trembled from the fear of him and became like dead men. 5 But the angel answered and* said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying. 7 And go quickly, tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and behold, he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.’ Behold, I have told you.” 8 And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and* ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” And they came up and* took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid! Go tell my brothers that they should go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

Seventh Portion

Numbers Chapter 28

9And on the Sabbath day, two unblemished lambs in the first year, and two tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a meal offering, mixed with oil, and its libation.10[This is] the burnt offering of each Sabbath on its Sabbath, in addition to the continual burnt offering and its libation.11And on the beginning of your months, you shall offer up a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs in the first year, [all] unblemished.12Three tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a meal offering, mixed with oil for each bull, and two tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a meal offering, mixed with oil for each ram.13And one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a meal offering for each lamb. A burnt offering with a spirit of satisfaction, a fire offering to the Lord.14And their libations: a half of a hin for each bull, a third of a hin for each ram, and a quarter of a hin for each lamb wine; this is the burnt offering of each new month in its month, throughout the months of the year.15And one young male goat for a sin offering to the Lord; it shall be offered up in addition to the continual burnt offering and its libation.

Saturday

John 20:19–23 (LEB): Jesus Appears to the Disciples

19 Now when it* was evening on that day—the first day of the week—and the doors had been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace to you.” 20 And when he* had said this, he showed his* hands and his* side to them. Then the disciples rejoiced when they* saw the Lord. 21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.” 22 And when he* had said this, he breathed on them* and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If you retain the sins* of any, they are retained.”

Maftir Portion

Exodus Chapter 30

11The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:12"When you take the sum of the children of Israel according to their numbers, let each one give to the Lord an atonement for his soul when they are counted; then there will be no plague among them when they are counted.13This they shall give, everyone who goes through the counting: half a shekel according to the holy shekel. Twenty gerahs equal one shekel; half of [such] a shekel shall be an offering to the Lord.14Everyone who goes through the counting, from the age of twenty and upward, shall give an offering to the Lord.15The rich shall give no more, and the poor shall give no less than half a shekel, with which to give the offering to the Lord, to atone for your souls.16You shall take the silver of the atonements from the children of Israel and use it for the work of the Tent of Meeting; it shall be a remembrance for the children of Israel before the Lord, to atone for your souls."

Haftarah

II Kings Chapter 11

17And Jehoiada enacted the covenant between the Lord and between the king and [between] the people, to be the people of the Lord, and between the king and between the people.18And all the people of the land came to the temple of the Baal and tore it down, its altars and its images they smashed, and Mattan the priest of the Baal they slew before the altars; and the priest set up appointees over the house of the Lord.19And he took the officers of the hundreds and the mighty warriors and the couriers and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, and they came by way of the gate of the couriers to the king's palace; and he sat on the throne of the kings.20And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city quieted down, and Athaliah they had dispatched by the sword in the royal palace.II Kings Chapter 12 1Jehoash was seven years old when he became king.2Jehoash became king in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned in Jerusalem for forty years; and his mother's name was Zibiah from Beersheba.3And Jehoash did what was proper in the eyes of the Lord all his days, what Jehoiada the priest instructed him.4However, the high places were not removed. The people were still slaughtering sacrifices and burning incense on the high places.5And Jehoash said to the priests, "All money of the hallowed things which is brought to the house of the Lord, the money of anyone who passes [the numbering], each one the money of the value of the people [whose value he vows to donate,] all money which comes upon a man's heart to bring to the house of the Lord.6The priests shall take for themselves each one from his acquaintance; and they shall strengthen the damage of the house, wherever damage is found."7And it was that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests did not strengthen the damages of the house.8And King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the priests and said to them, "Why are you not repairing the damage of the house? Now, take no money from your acquaintances, but give it for the damage of the house."9And the priests agreed not to take money from the people and not to repair the damage of the house.10And Jehoiada the priest took one chest and bored a hole in its door; and he placed it near the altar on the right, where a person enters the house of the Lord: and the priests, the guards of the threshold, would put all the money that was brought into the house of the Lord, into there.11And it was when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest went up and packed and counted the money which was brought into the house of the Lord.12And they would give the counted money into the hands of the foremen of the work who were appointed in the house of the Lord; and they spent it for the carpenters and for the builders who work in the house of the Lord.13And for the masons and for the stonecutters and to buy wood and quarried stones to repair the damage of the house of the Lord, and for everything which would be spent for the house to strengthen it.14However, there would not be made for the house of the Lord, silver pitchers, musical instruments, basins, trumpets, or any golden or silver utensils, from the money brought into the house of the Lord.15But they would give it to the foremen over the work, and they would repair therewith the house of the Lord.16And they would not reckon with the men into whose hand they would give the money to give the foremen over the work, for they did [the work] honestly.17The money for guilt- offerings and the money for sin-offerings would not be brought to the house of the Lord; they would go to the priests.

Isaiah Chapter 66

1So says the Lord, "The heavens are My throne, and the earth is My footstool; which is the house that you will build for Me, and which is the place of My rest?

Isaiah Chapter 66

23And it shall be from new moon to new moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath, that all flesh shall come to prostrate themselves before Me," says the Lord.24"And they shall go out and see the corpses of the people who rebelled against Me, for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorring for all flesh."

Isaiah Chapter 66

23And it shall be from new moon to new moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath, that all flesh shall come to prostrate themselves before Me," says the Lord.
