Now when Isaac was old and his eyes had become clouded so that he was not able to see, he sent for Esau, his first son, and said to him, My son: and he said, Here am I.

So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat for me

Now Isaac's words to his son were said in Rebekah's hearing. Then Esau went out to get the meat.

Go and get some roe's meat and make me a good meal, so that I may be full, and give you my blessing before the Lord before my death.

Go to the flock and get me two fat young goats and I will make of them a meal to your father's taste:

And Jacob said to Rebekah, his mother, But Esau my brother is covered with hair, while I am smooth:

And his mother said, Let the curse be on me, my son: only do as I say, and go and get them for me.

And Rebekah took the fair robes of her oldest son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son:

And she gave into the hand of Jacob, her son, the meat and the bread which she had made ready.

And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

And Isaac said, Come near so that I may put my hand on you, my son, and see if you are truly my son Esau or not.

And he did not make out who he was, because his hands were covered with hair like his brother Esau's hands: so he gave him a blessing.

And he said, Put it before me and I will take of my son's meat, so that I may give you a blessing. And he put it before him and he took it and he gave him wine, and he had a drink.

And he came near and gave him a kiss and smelling the smell of his clothing, he gave him a blessing, and said, See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field on which the blessing of the Lord has come:

Let peoples be your servants, and nations go down before you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons go down before you: a curse be on everyone by whom you are cursed, and a blessing on those who give you a blessing.

And he made ready a meal, good to the taste, and took it to his father, and said to him, Let my father get up and take of his son's meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

And in great fear Isaac said, Who then is he who got meat and put it before me, and I took it all before you came, and gave him a blessing, and his it will be?

And he said, Your brother came with deceit, and took away your blessing.

And Isaac answering said, But I have made him your master, and have given him all his brothers for servants I have made him strong with grain and wine: what then am I to do for you, my son?

Then Isaac his father made answer and said to him, Far from the fertile places of the earth, and far from the dew of heaven on high will your living-place be:

So Esau was full of hate for Jacob because of his father's blessing and he said in his heart, The days of weeping for my father are near then I will put my brother Jacob to death.

So now, my son, do what I say: go quickly to Haran, to my brother Laban

Till the memory of what you have done to him is past and he is no longer angry: then I will send word for you to come back are the two of you to be taken from me in one day?

Then Isaac sent for Jacob, and blessing him, said, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan

And may God, the Ruler of all, give you his blessing, giving you fruit and increase, so that you may become an army of peoples.

So Isaac sent Jacob away: and he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramaean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

And that Jacob had done as his father and mother said and had gone to Paddan-aram

So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath, the daughter of Abraham's son Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

And coming to a certain place, he made it his resting-place for the night, for the sun had gone down and he took one of the stones which were there, and putting it under his head he went to sleep in that place.

And he saw the Lord by his side, saying, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: I will give to you and to your seed this land on which you are sleeping.

And truly, I will be with you, and will keep you wherever you go, guiding you back again to this land and I will not give you up till I have done what I have said to you.

And fear came on him, and he said, This is a holy place this is nothing less than the house of God and the doorway of heaven.

And he gave that place the name of Beth-el, but before that time the town was named Luz.

So that I come again to my father's house in peace, then I will take the Lord to be my God,

And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

Now there was, some distance away, a great herd of pigs taking their food.

And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the pigs and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea and came to their end in the water.

And all the town came out to Jesus and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.

And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.

And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.

For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins or to say, Get up and go?

And he got up and went away to his house.

And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?

But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.

And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.
