1 Chronicles 21, 1 peter 2, Jonah 4, Luke 9

 


1 Chronicles 21,


1 Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel.
 
2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, "Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so that I may know how many there are."
 
3 But Joab replied, "May the LORD multiply his troops a hundred times over. My lord the king, are they not all my lord's subjects? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?"
 
4 The king's word, however, overruled Joab; so Joab left and went throughout Israel and then came back to Jerusalem.
 
5 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to David: In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who could handle a sword, including four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah.
 
6 But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, because the king's command was repulsive to him.
 
7 This command was also evil in the sight of God; so he punished Israel.
 
8 Then David said to God, "I have sinned greatly by doing this. Now, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing."
 
9 The LORD said to Gad, David's seer,
 
10 "Go and tell David, 'This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.' "
 
11 So Gad went to David and said to him, "This is what the LORD says: 'Take your choice:
 
12 three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the LORD -days of plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.' Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me."
 
13 David said to Gad, "I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men."
 
14 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead.
 
15 And God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as the angel was doing so, the LORD saw it and was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the LORD was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
 
16 David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.
 
17 David said to God, "Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I am the one who has sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? O LORD my God, let your hand fall upon me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people."
 
18 Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
 
19 So David went up in obedience to the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the LORD.
 
20 While Araunah was threshing wheat, he turned and saw the angel; his four sons who were with him hid themselves.
 
21 Then David approached, and when Araunah looked and saw him, he left the threshing floor and bowed down before David with his face to the ground.
 
22 David said to him, "Let me have the site of your threshing floor so I can build an altar to the LORD, that the plague on the people may be stopped. Sell it to me at the full price."
 
23 Araunah said to David, "Take it! Let my lord the king do whatever pleases him. Look, I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering. I will give all this."
 
24 But King David replied to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying the full price. I will not take for the LORD what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing."
 
25 So David paid Araunah six hundred shekels of gold for the site.
 
26 David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on the LORD, and the LORD answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
 
27 Then the LORD spoke to the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.
 
28 At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there.
 
29 The tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses had made in the desert, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time on the high place at Gibeon.
 
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

 

 

1 peter 2,

1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.
 
2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
 
3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
 
4 As you come to him, the living Stone-rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him-
 
5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
 
6 For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
 
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone,"
 
8 and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message-which is also what they were destined for.
 
9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
 
10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
 
11 Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
 
12 Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
 
13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority,
 
14 or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.
 
15 For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.
 
16 Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
 
17 Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
 
18 Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.
 
19 For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God.
 
20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
 
21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
 
22 "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."
 
23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
 
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
 
25 For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

 

 

Jonah 4,

1 But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry.
 
2 He prayed to the LORD, "O LORD, is this not what I said when I was still at home? That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.
 
3 Now, O LORD, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live."
 
4 But the LORD replied, "Have you any right to be angry?"
 
5 Jonah went out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city.
 
6 Then the LORD God provided a vine and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the vine.
 
7 But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the vine so that it withered.
 
8 When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, "It would be better for me to die than to live."
 
9 But God said to Jonah, "Do you have a right to be angry about the vine?" "I do," he said. "I am angry enough to die."
 
10 But the LORD said, "You have been concerned about this vine, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight.
 
11 But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about that great city?"

 

 

Luke 9

1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases,
 
2 and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
 
3 He told them: "Take nothing for the journey-no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic.
 
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town.
 
5 If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them."
 
6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
 
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed, because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead,
 
8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.
 
9 But Herod said, "I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?" And he tried to see him.
 
10 When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,
 
11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.
 
12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here."
 
13 He replied, "You give them something to eat." They answered, We have only five loaves of bread and two fish-unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.
 
14 (About five thousand men were there.) But he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
 
15 The disciples did so, and everybody sat down.
 
16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set before the people.
 
17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
 
18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?"
 
19 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life."
 
20 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
 
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.
 
22 And he said, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life."
 
23 Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
 
24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.
 
25 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?
 
26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
 
27 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."
 
28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.
 
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.
 
30 Two men, Moses and Elijah,
 
31 appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.
 
32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
 
33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters-one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.)
 
34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
 
35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him."
 
36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen.
 
37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
 
38 A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
 
39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.
 
40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not."
 
41 "O unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."
 
42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father.
 
43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
 
44 "Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men."
 
45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
 
46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
 
47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.
 
48 Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all-he is the greatest."
 
49 "Master," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us."
 
50 "Do not stop him," Jesus said, "for whoever is not against you is for you."
 
51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
 
52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him;
 
53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem.
 
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"
 
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them,
 
56 and they went to another village.
 
57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
 
58 Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
 
59 He said to another man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
 
60 Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
 
61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good bye to my family."
 
62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
