Numbers 14-15:16
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
Numbers 14
1Wherefore the whole multitude crying wept that night.2And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying:
3Would God that we had died in Egypt and would God we may die in this vast wilderness, and that the Lord may not bring us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives and children be led away captives. Is it not better to return into Egypt?
4And they said one to another: Let us appoint a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell down flat upon the ground before the multitude of the children of Israel.
6But Josue the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephone, who themselves also had viewed the land, rent their garments,
7And said to all the multitude of the children of Israel: The land which we have gone round is very good:
8If the Lord be favourable, he will bring us into it, and give us a land flowing with milk and honey.
9Be not rebellious against the Lord: and fear ye not the people of this land, for we are able to eat them up as bread. All aid is gone from them: the Lord is with us, fear ye not.
10And when all the multitude cried out, and would have stoned them, the glory of the Lord appeared over the tabernacle of the covenant to all the children of Israel.
11And the Lord said to Moses: How long will this people detract me? how long will they not believe me for all the signs that I have wrought before them?
12I will strike them therefore with pestilence, and will consume them: but thee I will make a ruler over a great nation, and a mightier than this is.
13And Moses said to the Lord: That the Egyptians, from the midst of whom thou hast brought forth this people,
14And the inhabitants of this land, (who have heard that thou, O Lord, art among this people, and art seen face to face, and thy cloud protecteth them, and thou goest before them in a pillar of a cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night,)
15May hear that thou hast killed so great a multitude as it were one man and may say:
16He could not bring the people into the land for which he had sworn, therefore did he kill them in the wilderness.
17Let their the strength of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast sworn, saying:
18The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and leaving no man clear, who visitest the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
19Forgive, I beseech thee, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of thy mercy, as thou hast been merciful to them from their going out of Egypt unto this place.
20And the Lord said: I have forgiven according to thy word.
21As I live: and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22But yet all the men that have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now ten times, and have not obeyed my voice,
23Shall not see the land for which I aware to their fathers, neither shall any one of them that hath detracted me behold it.
24My servant Caleb, who being full of another spirit hath followed me, I will bring into this land which he hath gone round: and his seed shall possess it.
25For the Amalecite and the Chanaanite dwell in the valleys. To morrow remove the camp, and return into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
26And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
27How long doth this wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel.
28Say therefore to them: As I live, saith the Lord: According as you have spoken in my hearing, so will I do to you.
29fin the wilderness shall your carcasses lie. All you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, and have murmured against me,
30Shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my bend to make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephone, and Josue the son of Nun.
31But your children, of whom you said, that they should be a prey to the enemies, will I bring in: that they may see the land which you have despised.
32Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
33Your children shall wander in the desert forty years, and shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers be consumed ill the desert,
34According to the number of the forty days, wherein you viewed the land: year shall be counted for a day. And forty years you shall receive your iniquities, and shall know my revenge:
35For as I have spoken, so will I do to all this wicked multitude, that hath risen up together against me: in this wilderness shall it faint away and die.
36Therefore all the men, whom Moses had sent to view the land, and who at their return had made the whole multitude to murmur against him, speaking ill of the land that it was naught,
37Died and were struck in the sight of the Lord.
38But Josue .the son of Nun. and Caleb the son of Jephone lived, of all them that had gone to view the land.
39And Moses spoke all these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.
40And behold rising up very early in the morning, they went up to the top of the mountain, and said: We are ready to go up to the place, of which the Lord hath spoken: for we have sinned.
41And Moses said to them: Why transgress you the word of the Lord, which shall not succeed prosperously with you?
42Go not up, for the Lord is not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.
43The Amalecite and the Chanaanite are before you, and by their sword you shall fall, because you would not consent to the Lord, neither will the Lord be with you.
44But they being blinded went up to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord and Moses departed not from the camp.
45And the Amalecite came down, and the Chanaanite that dwelt in the mountain: and smiting and slaying them pursued them as far as Horma.
Numbers 15
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:2Speak to the children of Israel and thou shalt say to them: When you shall be come into the land of your habitation, which I will give you,
3And shall make an offering to the Lord, for a holocaust, or a victim, paying your vows, or voluntarily offering gifts, or in your solemnities burning a sweet savour unto the Lord, of oxen or of sheep:
4Whosoever immolateth the victim, shall offer a sacrifice of fine flour, the tenth part of an ephi, tempered with the fourth part of a hin of oil:
5And he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb,
6And for every ram there shall be a sacrifice of hour of two tenths, which shall be tempered with the third part of a hin of oil:
7And he shall offer the third part of the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the Lord.
8But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfil thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,
9Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of oil,
10And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord.
11Thus shalt thou do
12For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.
13Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers
14Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.
15There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land.
16And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Mark 14:53-72
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
54And Peter followed him from afar off, even into the court of the high priest; and he sat with the servants at the fire, and warmed himself.
55And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death, and found none.
56For many bore false witness against him, and their evidences were not agreeing.
57And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:
58We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.
59And their witness did not agree.
60And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men?
61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou the Christ the Son of the blessed God?
62And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
63Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we any further witnesses?
64You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned him to be guilty of death.
65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him: Prophesy: and the servants struck him with the palms of their hands.
66Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest.
67And when she had seen Peter warming himself, looking on him she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
68But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew.
69And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them.
70But he denied again. And after a while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean.
71But he began to curse and to swear, saying; I know not this man of whom you speak.
72And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep.

Psalm 53
1Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David.2When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?
3Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
4O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
5For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
6For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
