Old Testament

Gen 9:1~11:9

Gen 9

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

2 And the fear of you and the terror of you shall be upon every animal of the earth and upon every bird of heaven, on everything that creeps on the ground and on all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered.

3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; just as I gave you the green herb, so I have given you everything.

4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.

5 And indeed your lifeblood I will require; from every animal I will require it. And from every man, from every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.

6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, / By man shall his blood be shed, / For in the image of God / He made man.

7 And you, be fruitful and multiply; / Abound on the earth and multiply in it.

8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

9 And I Myself now establish My covenant with you and with your seed after you

10 And with every living animal that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that came out of the ark, every animal of the earth.

11 And I establish My covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.

12 And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living animal that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I set My bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

14 And when I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the clouds,

15 I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living animal of all flesh, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow will be in the clouds, and I will look upon it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living animal of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17 And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

18 Now the sons of Noah who came forth from the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was spread over.

20 And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.

21 And he drank of the wine and became drunk. And he uncovered himself inside his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders, and they walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned backward, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine and learned what his younger son had done to him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan: / A servant of servants / Shall he be to his brothers.

26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, / The God of Shem; / And let Canaan be his servant.

27 May God enlarge Japheth, / And let him dwell in the tents of Shem, / And let Canaan be his servant.

28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred fifty years.

29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and he died.

Gen 10

1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.

3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Rodanim.

5 From these the islands and coastal regions of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his tongue, according to their families, in their nations.

6 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

7 And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8 And Cush begot Nimrod: He began to be a mighty one on the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Jehovah.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Akkad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-ir and Calah

12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, that is, the great city.

13 And Mizraim begot the Ludim and the Anamim and the Lehabim and the Naphtuhim

14 And the Pathrusim and the Casluhim, from which came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.

15 And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn and Heth

16 And the Jebusites and the Amorites and the Girgashites

17 And the Hivites and the Arkites and the Sinites

18 And the Arvadites and the Zemarites and the Hamathites, and afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread out.

19 And the territory of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza, and as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

21 And also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.

22 The sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

23 And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

24 And Arpachshad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber.

25 And to Eber were born two sons: The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

26 And Joktan begot Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah

27 And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah

28 And Obal and Abimael and Sheba

29 And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.

Gen 11

1 And the whole earth had one language and the same speech.

2 And as they journeyed east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

3 And they said to one another, Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had tar for mortar.

4 And they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top is in the heavens; and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the surface of the whole earth.

5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men had built.

6 And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and now nothing which they purpose to do will be kept from them.

7 Come, let Us go down and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

8 So Jehovah scattered them from there over the surface of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.

9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Jehovah confounded the language of all the earth, and from there Jehovah scattered them over the surface of all the earth.

New Testament

Matt 4:1~25

Mat 4

1 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.

2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He became hungry.

3 And the tempter came and said to Him, If You are the Son of God, speak that these stones may become loaves of bread.

4 But He answered and said, It is written, “ Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out through the mouth of God.”

5 Then the devil took Him into the holy city and set Him on the wing of the temple,

6 And said to Him, If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down; for it is written, “ To His angels He shall give charge concerning You, and on their hands they shall bear You up, lest You strike Your foot against a stone.”

7 Jesus said to him, Again, it is written, “ You shall not test the Lord your God.”

8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

9 And he said to Him, All these will I give You if You will fall down and worship me.

10 Then Jesus said to him, Go away, Satan! For it is written, “ You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.”

11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

12 Now when He heard that John was delivered up, He withdrew into Galilee.

13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is beside the sea in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14 In order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,

15 “ Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

16 The people sitting in darkness have seen a great light; and to those sitting in the region and shadow of death, to them light has risen.”

17 From that time Jesus began to proclaim and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.

18 And while He was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

19 And He said to them, Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men.

20 And immediately leaving the nets, they followed Him.

21 And going on from there, He saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

22 And immediately leaving the boat and their father, they followed Him.

23 And Jesus went about in all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

24 And the report concerning Him went out into all of Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those afflicted with various diseases and torments and those possessed by demons and epileptics and paralytics; and He healed them.

25 And great crowds followed Him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan.
