Numbers 14:8 - 14:25

14:8 If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and he will give it to us, a land that is flowing with milk and honey.
14:9 Only do not rebel against Yahweh, and you will not fear the people of the land, because they will be our food. Their protection has been turned from them; Yahweh is with us. You should not fear them.”
14:10 And all the community said to stone them with stones, but the glory of Yahweh appeared in the tent of assembly among the Israelites.
14:11 And Yahweh said to Moses, “How long until this people will despise me, and how long until they will not believe in me, and in all the signs that I have done in their midst?
14:12 I will strike them with disease, and I will dispossess them; I will make you into a greater and stronger nation than them.”
14:13 And Moses said to Yahweh, “Then the Egyptians will hear that you brought up this people from their midst in your power,
14:14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They heard that you, Yahweh, are in the midst of this people, that you are seen eye to eye, and your cloud is standing over them, and in a column of cloud you go before them by day and in a column of fire at night.
14:15 But if you destroy this people all at once, the nations that will have heard your message will say,
14:16 ‘Yahweh was unable to bring this people in the land that he swore by an oath, and he slaughtered them in the desert.’
14:17 But now, please, let the power of my Lord be great, just has you spoke,
14:18 ‘Yahweh is slow to anger and great of loyal love, forgiving sin and rebellion; but surely he leaves nothing unpunished, visiting the sin of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generations.’
14:19 Please forgive the sin of this people according to the greatness of your loyal love, just as you forgave this people, from Egypt until now.”
14:20 Yahweh said, “I have forgiven them according to your word;
14:21 but as I am alive, the glory of Yahweh will fill all the earth.
14:22 But because all the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the desert yet tested me these ten times and did not listen to my voice,
14:23 they will not see the land that I swore by oath to their ancestors, and all those who despised me will not see it.
14:24 But my servant Caleb, because another spirit was with him, he remained true after me, and I will bring him into the land that he entered, and his offspring will take possession of it.
14:25 And the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys; tomorrow turn and set out for the desert by way of the Red Sea.”

Gospel — Luke 12:35-59

LEB translation

Luke 12:35-59

12:35 On the Alert for the Master’s Return “You must be prepared for action and your lamps burning.
12:36 And you, be like people who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that when he comes back and knocks, they can open the door for him immediately.
12:37 Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he returns! Truly I say to you that he will dress himself for service and have them recline at the table and will come by and serve them.
12:38 Even if he should come back in the second or in the third watch of the night and find them like this, blessed are they!
12:39 But understand this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into.
12:40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not think he will come.”
12:41 A Faithful Slave and an Unfaithful Slave And Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us, or also for everyone?”
12:42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful wise manager whom the master will put in charge over his servants to give them their food allowance at the right time?
12:43 Blessed is that slave whom his master will find so doing when he comes back.
12:44 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
12:45 But if that slave should say to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time to return,’ and he begins to beat the male slaves and the female slaves and to eat and drink and get drunk,
12:46 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two and assign his place with the unbelievers.
12:47 And that slave who knew the will of his master and did not prepare or do according to his will will be given a severe beating.
12:48 But the one who did not know and did things deserving blows will be given a light beating. And from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be demanded, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will ask him for even more.
12:49 Not Peace, But a Sword of Divisiveness “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish that it had been kindled already!
12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am distressed until it is accomplished!
12:51 Do you think that I have come to grant peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!
12:52 For from now on there will be five in one household, divided three against two and two against three.
12:53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
12:54 The Signs of the Times And he also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud coming up in the west, you say at once, ‘A rainstorm is coming,’ and so it happens.
12:55 And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be burning heat,’ and it happens.
12:56 Hypocrites! You know how to evaluate the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it you do not know how to evaluate this present time?
12:57 Settle Accounts Quickly And why do you not also judge for yourselves what is right?
12:58 For as you are going with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to come to a settlement with him on the way, so that he will not drag you to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the bailiff, and the bailiff will throw you into prison.
12:59 I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid back even the last cent!”
