Passages

Torah — Genesis 28:10 - 28:22

LEB translation

28:10 Jacob’s Dream Then Jacob went out from Beersheba and went to Haran.
28:11 And he arrived at a certain place and spent the night there, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head and slept at that place.
28:12 And he dreamed, and behold, a stairway was set on the earth, and its top touched the heavens. And behold, angels of God were going up and going down on it.
28:13 And behold, Yahweh was standing beside him, and he said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The ground on which you were sleeping I will give to you and to your descendants.
28:14 Your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, and to the east, and to the north and to the south. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and through your descendants.
28:15 Now behold, I am with you, and I will keep you wherever you go. And I will bring you to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised to you.”
28:16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely Yahweh is indeed in this place and I did not know!”
28:17 Then he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is nothing else than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”
28:18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up as a stone pillar, and poured oil on top of it.
28:19 And he called the name of that place Bethel; however, the name of the city was formerly Luz.
28:20 And Jacob made a vow saying, “If God will be with me and protect me on this way that I am going, and gives me food to eat and clothing to wear,
28:21 and if I return in peace to the house of my father, then Yahweh will become my God.
28:22 And this stone that I have set up as a pillar shall be the house of God, and of all that you give to me I will certainly give a tenth to you.”

Gospel — John 10:11 - 10:21

LEB translation

10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
10:12 The hired hand, who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf approaching and abandons the sheep and runs away—and the wolf seizes them and scatters them—
10:13 because he is a hired hand and he is not concerned about the sheep.
10:14 “I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me,
10:15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
10:16 And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock—one shepherd.
10:17 Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take possession of it again.
10:18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down voluntarily. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
10:19 Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.
10:20 And many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?”
10:21 Others were saying, “These are not the words of one who is possessed by a demon! A demon is not able to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
