Leviticus 8:1 - 8:13

8:1 Installing the Priests Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
8:2 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the basket of the unleavened bread,
8:3 and summon all of the community to the entrance to the tent of assembly.”
8:4 So Moses did just as Yahweh commanded him, and the community gathered by the entrance to the tent of assembly.
8:5 Then Moses said to the community, “This is the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”
8:6 So Moses brought Aaron and his sons near, and he washed them with water.
8:7 Then he put the tunic on him and tied the sash around him; then he clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; then he tied the ephod’s waistband around him and fastened the ephod to him with it.
8:8 Then he placed the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and the Thummim into the breastpiece;
8:9 and he placed the turban on his head, and on the front of the turban he placed the gold rosette, the holy diadem, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
8:10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and he consecrated them.
8:11 And he spattered part of it on the altar seven times—thus he anointed the altar and all of its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.
8:12 Then he poured out part of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head—thus he anointed him in order to consecrate him.
8:13 Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons near and clothed them with tunics and tied a sash around each one, and he bound headbands on them, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

Gospel — Matthew 7:13-29

LEB translation

Matthew 7:13-29

7:13 The Sermon on the Mount: The Narrow Gate “Enter through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it,
7:14 because narrow is the gate and constricted is the road that leads to life, and there are few who find it!
7:15 The Sermon on the Mount: Recognizing False Prophets “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inside are ravenous wolves.
7:16 You will recognize them by their fruits: they do not gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles, do they?
7:17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.
7:18 A good tree is not able to produce bad fruit, nor a bad tree to produce good fruit.
7:19 Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
7:20 As a result, you will recognize them by their fruits.
7:21 The Sermon on the Mount: False Followers “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
7:22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many miracles in your name?’
7:23 And then I will say to them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!’
7:24 The Sermon on the Mount: Two Houses and Two Foundations “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
7:25 And the rain came down and the rivers came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it did not collapse, because its foundation was laid on the rock.
7:26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
7:27 And the rain came down and the rivers came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it collapsed, and its fall was great.”
7:28 The Sermon on the Mount: Response And it happened when Jesus finished these words the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
7:29 because he was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like their scribes.
