Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— …

These [are] the words which Moses – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – These [are] the words which Moses hath spoken unto all Israel, beyond the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain over-against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab;

²eleven days’ from Horeb, the way of mount Seir, unto Kadesh-Barnea.

^{3 And it cometh to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month hath Moses spoken unto the sons of Israel according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him concerning them;}

⁴after his smiting Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei,

⁵beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, hath Moses begun to explain this law, saying:

^{6 `Jehovah our God hath spoken unto us in Horeb, saying, Enough to you — of dwelling in this mount;}

⁷turn ye and journey for you, and enter the mount of the Amorite, and unto all its neighbouring places, in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Phrat;

^{8 see, I have set before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them.}

⁹`And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you;

^{10 Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye [are] to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude;}

¹¹Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye [are], a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to you.

¹²`How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?

^{13 Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;}

¹⁴and ye answer me and say, Good [is] the thing which thou hast spoken — to do.

¹⁵`And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, for your tribes.

¹⁶And I command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening between your brethren — then ye have judged righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;

¹⁷ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God’s, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard it;

¹⁸and I command you, at that time, all the things which ye do.

¹⁹`And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen — the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea.

^{20 `And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us;}

^{21 see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up, possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.}

²²`And ye come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities unto which we come in;

²³and the thing is good in mine eyes, and I take of you twelve men, one man for a tribe.

²⁴`And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy it,

^{25 and they take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.}

^{26 `And ye have not been willing to go up, and ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God,}

^{27 and murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah’s hating us He hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite — to destroy us;}

²⁸whither are we going up? our brethren have melted our heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities great and fenced to heaven, and also sons of Anakim — we have seen there.

²⁹`And I say unto you, Be not terrified, nor be afraid of them;

³⁰Jehovah your God, who is going before you — He doth fight for you, according to all that He hath done with you in Egypt before your eyes,

^{31 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God hath borne thee as a man beareth his son, in all the way which ye have gone, till your coming in unto this place.}

³²`And in this thing ye are not stedfast in Jehovah your God,

³³who is going before you in the way to search out to you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you in the way in which ye go, and in a cloud by day.

^{34 `And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth, and sweareth, saying,}

³⁵Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,

^{36 save Caleb son of Jephunneh — he doth see it, and to him I give the land on which he hath trodden, and to his sons, because that he hath been fully after Jehovah.}

^{37 `Also with me hath Jehovah been angry for your sake, saying, Also, thou dost not go in thither;}

³⁸Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before thee, he goeth in thither; him strengthen thou; for he doth cause Israel to inherit.

³⁹`And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it;

^{40 and ye, turn for yourselves, and journey toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.}

^{41 `And ye answer and say unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah; we — we go up, and we have fought, according to all that which Jehovah our God hath commanded us; and ye gird on each his weapons of war, and ye are ready to go up into the hill-country;}

⁴²and Jehovah saith unto me, Say to them, Ye do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies.

⁴³`And I speak unto you, and ye have not hearkened, and provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;

⁴⁴and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country cometh out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and smite you in Seir — unto Hormah.

^{45 `And ye turn back and weep before Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not hearkened to your voice, nor hath he given ear unto you;}

Then David arose from the earth and washed and anointed himself and changed his clothes. And he went into the house of the Lord and worshiped. He then went to his own house. And when he asked, they set food before him, and he ate. Then his servants said to him, “What is this thing that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive; but when the child died, you arose and ate food.” He said, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows whether the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’ But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.” Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba, and went in to her and lay with her, and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon.

After these things Jesus – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 6 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

²and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

³and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

^{4 and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.}

⁵Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?’ —

⁶and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

⁷Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries’ worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;’

⁸one of his disciples — Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter — saith to him,

⁹`There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these — what are they to so many?’

¹⁰And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;’ and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

¹¹and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

¹²And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;’

¹³they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.

¹⁴The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said — `This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;’

¹⁵Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone.

¹⁶And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them,

¹⁸the sea also — a great wind blowing — was being raised,

^{19 having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;}

²⁰and he saith to them, `I am [he], be not afraid;’

^{21 they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.}

²²On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one — that into which his disciples entered — and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone,

²³(and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

²⁴when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

²⁵and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?’

²⁶Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;

²⁷work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal — [even] God.’

²⁸They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?’

²⁹Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.’

^{30 They said therefore to him, `What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?}

³¹our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.’

^{32 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;}

³³for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.’

³⁴They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this bread.’

³⁵And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst — at any time;

³⁶but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

³⁷all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

³⁸because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

³⁹`And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

⁴⁰and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.’

⁴¹The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;’

⁴²and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one — Out of the heaven I have come down?’

⁴³Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another;

⁴⁴no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁴⁵it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

⁴⁶not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷`Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

⁴⁸I am the bread of the life;

⁴⁹your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

⁵⁰this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

⁵¹`I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live — to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.’

⁵²The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us [his] flesh to eat?’

⁵³Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

⁵⁴he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁵⁵for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

⁵⁶he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷`According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

⁵⁸this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live — to the age.’

^{59 These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;}

⁶⁰many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?’

⁶¹And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you?

⁶²if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?

^{63 the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;}

^{64 but there are certain of you who do not believe;’ for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,}

⁶⁵and he said, `Because of this I have said to you — No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.’

⁶⁶From this [time] many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

⁶⁷Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?’

⁶⁸Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

⁶⁹and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.’

⁷⁰Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you — the twelve? and of you — one is a devil.

⁷¹And he spake of Judas, Simon’s [son], Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve. – Aslan International Ministry
