📜到了希律的生日,希羅底的女兒在眾人面前跳舞,使希律歡喜,於是希律發誓許諾隨她所求的給她。女兒被母親指使,就說:「請把施洗約翰的頭放在盤子裏,拿來給我。」 But at a birthday party for Herod, Herodias’s daughter performed a dance that greatly pleased him, so he promised with a vow to give her anything she wanted. At her mother’s urging, the girl said, “I want the head of John the Baptist on a tray!” (馬太福音 Matthew 14:6-8)

📜摩西進會幕的時候,雲柱就降下來,停在會幕的門前,耶和華就與摩西說話。眾百姓看見雲柱停在會幕的門前,就都起來,各人在自己帳棚的門口下拜。 As he went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and hover at its entrance while the Lord spoke with Moses. When the people saw the cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, they would stand and bow down in front of their own tents. (出埃及記 Exodus 33:9-10)

📜弟兄們,我不是以為自己已經得着了;我只有一件事,就是忘記背後,努力面前的,向着標竿直跑,要得上帝在基督耶穌裏從上面召我來得的獎賞。 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. (腓立比書 Philippians 3:13-14)

They have made gods of gold for themselves. But now, if you will only forgive their sin—but if not, erase my name from the record you have written!” But the Lord replied to Moses, “No, I will erase the name of everyone who has sinned against me.

📜他們又來到耶路撒冷。耶穌在聖殿裏行走的時候,祭司長、文士和長老進前來,問他說:「你仗着甚麼權柄做這些事?給你權柄做這些事的是誰呢?」 Again they entered Jerusalem.

Who gave you the right to do them?” (馬可福音 Mark 11:27-33)
