King James Version (KJV)

1 Chronicles 23:1-32

1So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.2And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.3Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.4Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:5Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.6And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.7Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.8The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.9The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.10And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.11And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.12The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.13The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.14Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.15The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.16Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.17And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.18Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.19Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.20Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah the second.21The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.22And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.23The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.24These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.25For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:26And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.27For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:28Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;29Both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;30And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;31And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:32And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.

John 12:37-50

37But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:38That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?39Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,40He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.41These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.42Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:43For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.44Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.45And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.46I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.47And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.48He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
