Bible: Luke 19:47-48; 20:19-20; 22:3-6

19:47 Jesus 1  was teaching daily in the temple courts. The chief priests and the experts in the law 2  and the prominent leaders among the people were seeking to assassinate 3  him, 19:48 but 4  they could not find a way to do it, 5  for all the people hung on his words. 6 

Abraham and Abimelech

20:1 Abraham journeyed from there to the Negev 1  region and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he lived as a temporary resident 2  in Gerar,

22:3 Early in the morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. 1  He took two of his young servants with him, along with his son Isaac. When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering, he started out 2  for the place God had spoken to him about.

22:4 On the third day Abraham caught sight of 3  the place in the distance. 22:5 So he 4  said to his servants, “You two stay 5  here with the donkey while 6  the boy and I go up there. We will worship 7  and then return to you.” 8 

22:6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Isaac. Then he took the fire and the knife in his hand, 9  and the two of them walked on together.
