  • Acts 8:26-40 : 26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, 'Get up and go south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.' (This is a desert road.) 27 So he got up and went. There he met an Ethiopian man, a eunuch and an important official in charge of all the treasury of the queen of the Ethiopians, known as Candace, who had gone to Jerusalem to worship. 28 He was on his way home, sitting in his chariot and reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 The Spirit said to Philip, 'Go up to that chariot and stay near it.' 30 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. He asked, 'Do you understand what you are reading?' 31 The man replied, 'How can I understand unless someone guides me?' And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The passage of Scripture he was reading was this: 'Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.' 33 In his humiliation justice was taken away from him. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth. 34 The eunuch said to Philip, 'I ask you, who is the prophet talking about? Himself or someone else?' 35 Then Philip began to speak, and starting from this Scripture, he preached to him the good news about Jesus. 36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, 'Look, here is water! What is stopping me from being baptized?' 37 Philip said, 'If you believe with all your heart, you may.' The eunuch answered, 'I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.' 38 He ordered the chariot to stop, and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, was found at Azotus, and as he traveled, he preached the good news in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

    16But when the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was striking the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the Lord was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

    17When David saw the angel striking the people, he said to the Lord, "I alone have sinned; I, the shepherd, have acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand fall upon me and my family."

    18That day, Gad came to David and said to him, "Go up and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."

    19So David went up, as the Lord had commanded through Gad.

    20When Araunah saw the king and his officials coming toward him, he went out and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.

    21Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" David replied, "To buy your threshing floor so I can build an altar to the Lord, and the plague may be stopped from affecting the people."

    22Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take whatever pleases him and offer it up. Here are oxen for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.

    23Everything, O king, Araunah gives to the king." Araunah also said to the king, "May the Lord your God accept you."

    24But the king said to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

    25David built an altar to the Lord there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then the Lord answered prayer on behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped.

    19So David went up in obedience to the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the LORD.

    20When Ornan turned and saw the angel, he and his four sons who were with him hid themselves, but Ornan continued threshing wheat.

    21As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David. He went out from the threshing floor and bowed down before David with his face to the ground.

    22David said to Ornan, "Let me have the site of your threshing floor so I can build an altar to the LORD on it. Sell it to me at the full price, so the plague on the people may be stopped."

    23Ornan replied to David, "Take it! Let my lord the king do whatever pleases him. Look, I will give the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering—I give it all."

    24But King David said to Ornan, "No! I insist on paying the full price in silver. I will not take what is yours for the LORD or offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing."

    25So David paid Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the site.

    26There David built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. He called on the LORD, and He answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of the burnt offering.

    27Then the LORD commanded the angel to put his sword back into its sheath.

    28At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there.

    29The tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time on the high place at Gibeon.

    30But David could not go before it to seek God because he was terrified of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

    12three years of famine, three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you, or three days of the sword of the LORD—pestilence in the land, with the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ Now decide how I should answer the One who sent me."
