⁸ But I will be at Ephesus till Pentecost;

¹ And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were all together in one place.

¹⁶ And the feast of the grain-cutting, the first-fruits of your planted fields: and the feast at the start of the year, when you have got in all the fruit from your fields.

¹⁵ And let seven full weeks be numbered from the day after the Sabbath, the day when you give the grain for the wave offering;

¹⁶ Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.

¹⁷ Take from your houses two cakes of bread, made of a fifth part of an ephah of the best meal, cooked with leaven, to be waved for first-fruits to the Lord.

¹⁸ And with the bread, take seven lambs of the first year, without any marks, and one ox and two male sheep, to be a burned offering to the Lord, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, an offering of a sweet smell made by fire to the Lord.

¹⁹ And you are to give one male goat for a sin-offering and two male lambs of the first year for peace-offerings.

²⁰ And these will be waved by the priest, with the bread of the first-fruits, for a wave offering to the Lord, with the two lambs: they will be holy to the Lord for the priest.

²¹ And on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.

¹⁹ And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

³² If, after the way of men, I was fighting with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not come to life again, let us take our pleasure in feasting, for tomorrow we come to an end.
