King James Version (KJV)

Hosea 6:1-7:16

6:1Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 6:2After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 6:3Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. 6:4O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. 6:5Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. 6:6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. 6:7But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. 6:8Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood. 6:9And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. 6:10I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. 6:11Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.

7:1When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.7:2And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.7:3They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.7:4They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.7:5In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.7:6For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.7:7They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.7:8Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.7:9Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.7:10And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.7:11Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.7:12When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.7:13Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.7:14And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.7:15Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.7:16They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

Matthew 26:57-68

57And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.58But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.59Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;60But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,61And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.62And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?63But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.64Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.65Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.66What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.67Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,68Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
