Genesis 27Genesis 28Matthew 8.28-34Matthew 9.1-17Genesis 27
1
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, [here am] I.
2
And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
3
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me [some] venison
4
And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring [it] to me, that I may eat that my soul may bless thee before I die.
5
And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt [for] venison, [and] to bring [it].
6
And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7
Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
8
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
9
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
10
And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
11
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man:
12
My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13
And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them].
14
And he went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
15
And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which [were] with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
16
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17
And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I who [art] thou, my son?
19
And Jacob said unto his father, I [am] Esau thy firstborn I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20
And Isaac said unto his son, How [is it] that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought [it] to me.
21
And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou [be] my very son Esau or not.
22
And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
23
And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
24
And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he said, I [am].
25
And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27
And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son [is] as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
28
Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29
Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed [be] every one that curseth thee, and blessed [be] he that blesseth thee.
30
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31
And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
32
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said, I [am] thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
33
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where [is] he that hath taken venison, and brought [it] me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed.
34
And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, [even] me also, O my father.
35
And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
36
And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
37
And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
38
And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, [even] me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above
40
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
41
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand then will I slay my brother Jacob.
42
And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, [purposing] to kill thee.
43
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran
44
And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away
45
Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget [that] which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
46
And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these [which are] of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
Genesis 28
1
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2
Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
3
And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people
4
And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
5
And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6
When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan
7
And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram
8
And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father
9
Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
10
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11
And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set and he took of the stones of that place, and put [them for] his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13
And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I [am] the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed
14
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15
And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land for I will not leave thee, until I have done [that] which I have spoken to thee of.
16
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place and I knew [it] not.
17
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful [is] this place! this [is] none other but the house of God, and this [is] the gate of heaven.
18
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put [for] his pillows, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
19
And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city [was called] Luz at the first.
20
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21
So that I come again to my father's house in peace then shall the LORD be my God:
22
And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Matthew 8
28-34
28
And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
29
And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30
And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
31
So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
32
And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33
And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
34
And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought [him] that he would depart out of their coasts.
Matthew 9
1-17
1
And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2
And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy Son, be of good cheer thy sins be forgiven thee.
3
And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man] blasphemeth.
4
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5
For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee or to say, Arise, and walk?
6
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7
And he arose, and departed to his house.
8
But when the multitudes saw [it], they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
9
And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10
And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11
And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12
But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13
But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14
Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
16
No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
