Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples.“ The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat,” he said.“ So you must be careful to do everything they say. But don’t do what they do. They don’t practice what they preach.They tie up heavy loads that are hard to carry. Then they put them on other people’s shoulders. But they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them.“ Everything they do is done for others to see. On their foreheads and arms they wear little boxes that hold Scripture verses. They make the boxes very wide. And they make the tassels on their coats very long.They love to sit down in the place of honor at dinners. They also love to have the most important seats in the synagogues.They love to be greeted with respect in the markets. They love it when people call them‘ Rabbi.’“ But you shouldn’t be called‘ Rabbi.’ You have only one Teacher, and you are all brothers.Do not call anyone on earth‘ father.’ You have one Father, and he is in heaven.You shouldn’t be called‘ teacher.’ You have one Teacher, and he is the Messiah.The most important person among you will be your servant.People who lift themselves up will be made humble. And people who make themselves humble will be lifted up.“ How terrible it will be for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter. And you will not let those enter who are trying to.

That will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.

“ Don’t announce it in Gath. Don’t tell it in the streets of Ashkelon. If you do, the daughters of the Philistines will be glad. The daughters of men who haven’t been circumcised will be joyful.

At that time the Lord said to Joshua,“ Make knives out of flint. Use them to circumcise the men of Israel.”So Joshua made knives out of flint. Then he used them to circumcise the men of Israel at Gibeath Haaraloth.Here is why Joshua circumcised them. All the men who came out of Egypt had died. They died while they were wandering through the Sinai Desert. They were the men old enough to serve in the army.All the men who came out had been circumcised. But all the men born in the desert during the journey from Egypt hadn’t been circumcised.The Israelites had moved around in the desert for 40 years. By the end of that time all the men old enough to serve in the army when they left Egypt had died. That’s because they hadn’t obeyed the Lord. He had made a promise to them. He had told them they wouldn’t see the land. It’s the land he had promised to their people to give us. It’s a land that has plenty of milk and honey.Because they hadn’t obeyed him, he raised up their sons to take their place. They were the ones Joshua circumcised. They hadn’t been circumcised yet. That’s because no one had circumcised them during the journey.So Joshua circumcised all those men. The whole nation remained in the camp until the men were healed.Then the Lord spoke to Joshua. He said,“ Today I have taken away from you the shame of being slaves in Egypt.” That’s why the place where the men were circumcised has been called Gilgal to this very day.

He was circumcised as a sign of the covenant God had made with him. It showed that his faith had made him right with God before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the father of all believers who have not been circumcised. God accepts their faith. So their faith makes them right with him.

David spoke to the men standing near him. He asked them,“ What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine? Goliath is bringing shame on Israel. What will be done for the one who removes it? This Philistine isn’t even circumcised. He dares the armies of the living God to fight him. Who does he think he is?”

When the Wise Men had left, Joseph had a dream. In the dream an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph.“ Get up!” the angel said.“ Take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you to come back. Herod is going to search for the child. He wants to kill him.”
