The Word for Friday, 16 May 2025

English Standard Version

Moses said to the people of Israel: Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of this law. For it is no empty word for you, but your very life.

Deuteronomy 32:46-47

Jesus said:

The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

John 6:63

Deuteronomy 32 (English Standard Version)

43 “Rejoice with him, O heavens;
bow down to him, all gods,
for he avenges the blood of his children
and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him
and cleanses his people's land.”
44 Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
45 And when Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel,
46 he said to them, “Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of this law.
47 For it is no empty word for you, but your very life, and by this word you shall live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
48 That very day the Lord spoke to Moses,
49 “Go up this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel for a possession.
50 And die on the mountain which you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died in Mount Hor and was gathered to his people,

John 6 (English Standard Version)

60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?”
61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them,
“Do you take offense at this?
62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
64 But there are some of you who do not believe.”
(For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)
65 And he said,
“This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.

Moses told the people of Israel:

Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in this law. Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life.

Deuteronomy 32:46-47

Jesus said:

The words I've told you are spirit and life!

John 6:63

Deuteronomy 32 (Free Bible Version)

43 Celebrate with him! Let all God's angels worship him! Celebrate, foreigners, with his people; because he will pay back those who killed his children. He will punish his enemies, and repay those who hate him;
he will purify his land and his people.
44 Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song for the people to hear.
45 After Moses finished reciting the whole song to all the Israelites,
46 he told them, “Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in this law.
47 Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan.”
48 That same day the Lord told Moses,
49 “Climb up into the Abarim mountains to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look over the country of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites for them to own.
50 There on the mountain you've climbed, you will die and join your people in death, in the same way your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his people.

John 6 (Free Bible Version)

60 Many of his disciples when they heard it said, “This is hard to accept! Who can follow it?”
61 Jesus saw that his disciples were complaining about this, so he asked them, “Are you offended by this?
62 Then what if you were to see the Son ascend to where he was before?
63 The Spirit gives life; the physical body doesn't do anything. The words I've told you are spirit and life!
64 Yet there are some of you who don't trust me.” (Jesus had known from the very beginning who didn't trust him, and who would betray him.)
65 Jesus added, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is made possible by the Father.”
66 From this time on many of Jesus' disciples gave up and no longer followed him.
