And the Lord said to Moses, Now you will see what I am about to do to Pharaoh for by a strong hand he will be forced to let them go, driving them out of his land because of my outstretched arm.

I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.

And truly my ears are open to the cry of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep under their yoke and I have kept in mind my agreement.

And I will take you to be my people and I will be your God and you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, who takes you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, but they gave no attention to him, because of the grief of their spirit and the cruel weight of their work.

Go in and say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he is to let the children of Israel go out of his land.

And the word of the Lord came to Moses and Aaron, with orders for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan: these are the families of Simeon.

The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, in the order of their families.

And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi: these are the families of the Levites, in the order of their generations.

And the sons of Izhar: Korah and Nepheg and Zichri.

And Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon and she gave birth to Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel and she gave birth to Phinehas. These are the heads of the families of the Levites, in the order of their families.

These are the men who gave orders to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of Egypt: these are the same Moses and Aaron.

The Lord said to Moses, I am the Lord: say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything I am saying to you.

And the Lord said to Moses, See I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.

And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and my signs and wonders will be increased in the land of Egypt.

And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when my hand is stretched out over Egypt, and I take the children of Israel out from among them.

And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they gave the Lord's word to Pharaoh.

If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake.

Then Pharaoh sent for the wise men and the wonder-workers, and they, the wonder-workers of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.

But Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

Go to Pharaoh in the morning when he goes out to the water, you will be waiting for him by the edge of the Nile, with the rod which was turned into a snake in your hand

So the Lord says, By this you may be certain that I am the Lord see, by the touch of this rod in my hand the waters of the Nile will be turned to blood

And the Lord said, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the waters of Egypt, and over the rivers and the streams and the pools, and over every stretch of water, so that they may be turned to blood and there will be blood through all the land of Egypt, in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.

And the fish in the Nile came to destruction, and a bad smell went up from the river, and the Egyptians were not able to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking and there was blood through all the land of Egypt.

Then Pharaoh went into his house, and did not take even this to heart.

And seven days went past, after the Lord had put his hand on the Nile.

Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

He says to them, But who do you say that I am?

And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.

I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever is fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.

From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead.

But he, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.

For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.

And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and makes them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves.

And Moses and Elijah came before their eyes, talking with him.

While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased give ear to him.

And Jesus came and put his hand on them and said, Get up and have no fear.

And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.

And in answer he said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right:

Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.
