Leviticus 25:1 - 25:18

25:1 The Sabbath Year Then Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
25:2 “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land that I am about to give to you, then the land shall observe a Sabbath for Yahweh.
25:3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and you shall gather its yield.
25:4 But in the seventh year it shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath for Yahweh; you must not sow your field, and you must not prune your vineyard.
25:5 You must not reap your harvest’s aftergrowth, and you must not harvest the grapes of your unpruned vines—it shall be a year of complete rest for the land.
25:6 And a Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you: for you and for your slave and for your slave woman and for your hired worker and for your temporary residents who are dwelling as aliens with you;
25:7 and all its yield shall be for your domestic animal and for the wild animal, which are in your land to eat.
25:8 The Year of Jubilee “‘And you shall count for yourself seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years, and they shall be for you time periods of years: forty-nine years.
25:9 And you shall cause a loud horn blast to be heard on the seventh month on the tenth of the month; on the Day of Atonement you shall cause a ram’s horn to be heard in all your land.
25:10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and you shall proclaim a release in the land for all its inhabitants. It is a Jubilee; it shall be for you, and you shall return. You must return—everyone to his property and everyone to his clan.
25:11 You shall have the fiftieth year as a Jubilee; you must not reap its aftergrowth, and you must not harvest its unpruned vines.
25:12 Because it is a Jubilee, it shall be holy to you. You must eat its produce from the field.
25:13 “‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
25:14 And when you sell something to your fellow citizen or you buy from your neighbor’s hand, you must not oppress one another.
25:15 You must buy from your fellow citizen according to the number of years after the Jubilee; he must sell to you according to the number of years of yield.
25:16 You must increase its price according to a greater number of years, but you must decrease its price according to a lesser number of years, because he is selling its yields to you.
25:17 And you must not oppress one another, but you shall revere your God, because I am Yahweh, your God.
25:18 “‘And you shall do my statutes, and you must keep my regulations, and you shall do them, so that you shall live securely on the land.

Gospel — Matthew 26:57-75

LEB translation

Matthew 26:57-75

26:57 Jesus Before the Sanhedrin Now those who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered.
26:58 But Peter was following him from a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. And he went inside and was sitting with the officers to see the outcome.
26:59 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death.
26:60 And they did not find it, although many false witnesses came forward. And finally two came forward
26:61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it within three days.’”
26:62 And the high priest stood up and said to him, “Do you reply nothing? What are these people testifying against you?”
26:63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, “I put you under oath by the living God, that you tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!”
26:64 Jesus said to him, “You have said it. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
26:65 Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have just now heard the blasphemy!
26:66 What do you think?” And they answered and said, “He deserves death!”
26:67 Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists, and they slapped him,
26:68 saying, “Prophesy for us, you Christ! Who is it who hit you?”
26:69 Peter Denies Jesus Three Times Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a female slave came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
26:70 But he denied it in the presence of them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean!”
26:71 And when he went out to the gateway, another female slave saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.”
26:72 And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man!”
26:73 And after a little while those who were standing there came up and said to Peter, “You really are one of them also, because even your accent reveals who you are.”
26:74 Then he began to curse and to swear with an oath, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
26:75 And Peter remembered the statement Jesus had said, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times,” and he went outside and wept bitterly.
