Exodus 19:1-12
19 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same
day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to
the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt
thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;4 Ye have seen what I did unto the
Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.5 Now therefore, if ye
will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me
above all people: for all the earth is mine:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an
holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. 7 And Moses
came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which
the Lord commanded him.8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath
spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.9 And the Lord said unto
Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and
believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.10 And the Lord said unto
Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their
clothes,11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of
all the people upon mount Sinai.12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying,
Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth
the mount shall be surely put to death:

Exodus 19:21-23

the Lord, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about
the mount, and sanctify it.

Mark 5:25-34
24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.25 And a certainwoman, which
had an issue of blood twelve years,26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that
she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press
behind, and touched his garment.28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And
straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that
plague.30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about
in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude
thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this
thing.33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him,
and told him all the truth.34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be
whole of thy plague.

their fear, nor be afraid.13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him
be your dread.14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of
offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Isaiah 6
6 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his
train filled the temple.2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered
his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.3 And one cried unto another,
and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.4 And the posts
of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.5 Then said
I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a
people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.6 Then flew one of the
seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the
altar:7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity
is taken away, and thy sin purged.8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send,
and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.9 And he said, Go, and tell this people,
Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be

them brethren,12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I
sing praise unto thee.
