Torah — Genesis 2:4 - 2:19

LEB translation

Genesis 2:4 - 2:19

2:4 The Generations of Heaven and Earth These are the generations of heaven and earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made earth and heaven—
2:5 before any plant of the field was on earth, and before any plant of the field had sprung up, because Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no human being to cultivate the ground,
2:6 but a stream would rise from the earth and water the whole face of the ground—
2:7 when Yahweh God formed the man of dust from the ground, and he blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
2:8 And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
2:9 And Yahweh God caused to grow every tree that was pleasing to the sight and good for food. And the tree of life was in the midst of the garden, along with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
2:10 Now a river flowed out from Eden that watered the garden, and from there it diverged and became four branches.
2:11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It went around all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
2:12 (The gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stones are there.)
2:13 And the name of the second is Gihon. It went around all the land of Cush.
2:14 And the name of the third is Tigris. It flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
2:15 And Yahweh God took the man and set him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to keep it.
2:16 And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden you may freely eat,
2:17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.”
2:18 Then Yahweh God said, “it is not good that the man is alone. I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.”
2:19 And out of the ground Yahweh God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and he brought each to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called that living creature was its name.

Gospel — John 1:15 - 1:28

LEB translation

John 1:15 - 1:28

1:15 John testified about him and cried out, saying, “This one was he about whom I said, ‘The one who comes after me is ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”
1:16 For from his fullness we have all received, and grace after grace.
1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.
1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the one and only, God, the one who is in the bosom of the Father—that one has made him known.
1:19 John the Baptist Testifies to Jesus And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they could ask him, “Who are you?”
1:20 And he confessed—and he did not deny, and confessed—“I am not the Christ!”
1:21 And they asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not!” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No!”
1:22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
1:23 He said, “I am ‘the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, “Make straight the way of the Lord,”’ just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
1:24 (And they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
1:25 And they asked him and said to him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
1:26 John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water. In your midst stands one whom you do not know—
1:27 the one who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal!”
1:28 These things took place in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
