>       Luke 23:1-25 - Listen with Real Audio
>         1 Then the entire council took Jesus over to Pilate, the Roman
governor. 2 They began at once to state their case: "This man has been
leading our people to ruin by telling them not to pay their taxes to the
Roman government and by claiming he is the Messiah, a king." 3 So Pilate
asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"Jesus replied, "Yes, it is as you
say." 4 Pilate turned to the leading priests and to the crowd and said, "I
find nothing wrong with this man!" 5 Then they became desperate. "But he is
causing riots everywhere he goes, all over Judea, from Galilee to
Jerusalem!" 6 "Oh, is he a Galilean?" Pilate asked. 7 When they answered
that he was, Pilate sent him to Herod Antipas, because Galilee was under
Herod's jurisdiction, and Herod happened to be in Jerusalem at the time. 8
Herod was delighted at the opportunity to see Jesus, because he had heard
about him and had been hoping for a long time to see him perform a miracle.
9 He asked Jesus question after question, but Jesus refused to answer.10
Meanwhile, the leading priests and the teachers of religious law stood there
shouting their accusations. 11 Now Herod and his soldiers began mocking and
ridiculing Jesus. Then they put a royal robe on him and sent him back to
Pilate. 12 Herod and Pilate, who had been enemies before, became friends
that day.
>
>         13 Then Pilate called together the leading priests and other
religious leaders, along with the people, 14 and he announced his verdict.
"You brought this man to me, accusing him of leading a revolt. I have
examined him thoroughly on this point in your presence and find him
innocent. 15 Herod came to the same conclusion and sent him back to us.
Nothing this man has done calls for the death penalty. 16 So I will have him
flogged, but then I will release him." 17  18 Then a mighty roar rose from
the crowd, and with one voice they shouted, "Kill him, and release Barabbas
to us!" 19 (Barabbas was in prison for murder and for taking part in an
insurrection in Jerusalem against the government.) 20 Pilate argued with
them, because he wanted to release Jesus. 21 But they shouted, "Crucify him!
Crucify him!" 22 For the third time he demanded, "Why? What crime has he
committed? I have found no reason to sentence him to death. I will therefore
flog him and let him go." 23 But the crowd shouted louder and louderfor
Jesus' death, and their voices prevailed. 24 So Pilate sentenced Jesus to
die as they demanded. 25 As they had requested, he released Barabbas, the
man in prison for insurrection and murder. But he delivered Jesus over to
them to do as they wished.

>         1 Two years later, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing on the
bank of the Nile River. 2 In his dream, seven fat, healthy-looking cows
suddenly came up out of the river and began grazing along its bank. 3 Then
seven other cows came up from the river, but these were very ugly and gaunt.
These cows went over and stood beside the fat cows. 4 Then the thin, ugly
cows ate the fat ones! At this point in the dream, Pharaoh woke up. 5 Soon
he fell asleep again and had a second dream. This time he saw seven heads of
grain on one stalk, with every kernel well formed and plump. 6 Then
suddenly, seven more heads appeared on the stalk, but these were shriveled
and withered by the east wind. 7 And these thin heads swallowed up the seven
plump, well-formed heads! Then Pharaoh woke up again and realized it was a
dream. 8 The next morning, as he thought about it, Pharaoh became very
concerned as to what the dreams might mean. So he called for all the
magicians and wise men of Egypt and told them about his dreams, bu not one
of them could suggest what they meant.
>
>         9 Then the king's cup-bearer spoke up. "Today I have been reminded
of my failure," he said. 10 "Some time ago, you were angry with the chief
baker and me, and you imprisoned us in the palace of the captain of the
guard. 11 One night the chief baker and I each had a dream, and each dream
had a meaning. 12 We told the dreams to a young Hebrew man who was a servant
of the captain of the guard. He told us what each of our dreams meant, 13
and everything happened just as he said it would. I was restored to my
position as cup-bearer, and the chief baker was executed and impaled on a
pole." 14 Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once, and he was brought hastily from
the dungeon. After a quick shave and change of clothes, he went in and stood
in Pharaoh's presence. 15 "I had a dream last night," Pharaoh told him, "and
none of these men can tell me what it means. But I have heard that you can
interpret dreams, and that is why I have called for you." 16 "It is beyond
my power to do this," Joseph replied. "But God willtell you what it means
and will set you at ease."
>
>         17 So Pharaoh told him the dream. "I was standing on the bank of
the Nile River," he said. 18 "Suddenly, seven fat, healthy-looking cows came
up out of the river and began grazing along its bank. 19 But then seven
other cows came up from the river. They were very thin and gaunt - in fact,
I've never seen such ugly animals in all the land of Egypt. 20 These thin,
ugly cows ate up the seven fat ones that had come out of the river first, 21
but afterward they were still as ugly and gaunt as before! Then I woke up.
22 "A little later I had another dream. This time there were seven heads of
grain on one stalk, and all seven heads were plump and full. 23 Then out of
the same stalk came seven withered heads, shriveled by the east wind. 24 And
the withered heads swallowed up the plump ones! I told these dreams to my
magicians, but not one of them could tell me what they mean." 25 "Both
dreams mean the same thing," Joseph told Pharaoh. "God was telling you what
he is about to do. 26 The seven fat cows and th seven plump heads of grain
both represent seven years of prosperity. 27 The seven thin, ugly cows and
the seven withered heads of grain represent seven years of famine. 28 This
will happen just as I have described it, for God has shown you what he is
about to do. 29 The next seven years will be a period of great prosperity
throughout the land of Egypt. 30 But afterward there will be seven years of
famine so great that all the prosperity will be forgotten and wiped out.
Famine will destroy the land. 31 This famine will be so terrible that even
the memory of the good years will be erased. 32 As for having the dream
twice, it means that the matter has been decreed by God and that he will
make these events happen soon.

>         33 "My suggestion is that you find the wisest man in Egypt and put
him in charge of a nationwide program. 34 Let Pharaoh appoint officials over
the land, and let them collect one-fifth of all the crops during the seven
good years. 35 Have them gather all the food and grain of these good years
into the royal storehouses, and store it away so there will be food in the
cities. 36 That way there will be enough to eat when the seven years of
famine come. Otherwise disaster will surely strike the land, and all the
people will die." 37 Joseph's suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and
his advisers. 38 As they discussed who should be appointed for the job,
Pharaoh said, "Who could do it better than Joseph? For he is a man who is
obviously filled with the spirit of God." 39 Turning to Joseph, Pharaoh
said, "Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, you are the
wisest man in the land! 40 I hereby appoint you to direct this project. You
will manage my household and organize all my people. Oly I will have a rank
higher than yours." 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I hereby put you in
charge of the entire land of Egypt." 42 Then Pharaoh placed his own signet
ring on Joseph's finger as a symbol of his authority. He dressed him in
beautiful clothing and placed the royal gold chain about his neck. 43
Pharaoh also gave Joseph the chariot of his second-in-command, and wherever
he went the command was shouted, "Kneel down!" So Joseph was put in charge
of all Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am the king, but no one will
move a hand or a foot in the entire land of Egypt without your approval." 45
Pharaoh renamed him Zaphenath-paneah and gave him a wife - a young woman
named Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis. So Joseph
took charge of the entire land of Egypt.
>
>         46 He was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh,
the king of Egypt. And when Joseph left Pharaoh's presence, he made a tour
of inspection throughout the land. 47 And sure enough, for the next seven
years there were bumper crops everywhere. 48 During those years, Joseph took
a portion of all the crops grown in Egypt and stored them for the government
in nearby cities. 49 After seven years, the granaries were filled to
overflowing. There was so much grain, like sand on the seashore, that the
people could not keep track of the amount. 50 During this time, before the
arrival of the first of the famine years, two sons were born to Joseph and
his wife, Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis. 51
Joseph named his older son Manasseh, for he said, "God has made me forget
all my troubles and the family of my father." 52 Joseph named his second son
Ephraim, for he said, "God has made me fruitful in this land of my
suffering." 53 At last the seven years of plenty came to an en. 54 Then the
seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had predicted. There were crop
failures in all the surrounding countries, too, but in Egypt there was
plenty of grain in the storehouses. 55 Throughout the land of Egypt the
people began to starve. They pleaded with Pharaoh for food, and he told
them, "Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you." 56 So with severe famine
everywhere in the land, Joseph opened up the storehouses and sold grain to
the Egyptians. 57 And people from surrounding lands also came to Egypt to
buy grain from Joseph because the famine was severe throughout the world.

>       Psalms 32 - Listen with Real Audio
>         1 A psalm of David. Oh, what joy for those whose rebellion is
forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! 2 Yes, what joy for those whose
record the LORD has cleared of sin, whose lives are lived in complete
honesty! 3 When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and miserable, and I
groaned all day long. 4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on
me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude 5
Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I
said to myself, "I will confess my rebellion to the LORD." And you forgave
me! All my guilt is gone. Interlude 6 Therefore, let all the godly confess
their rebellion to you while there is time, that they may not drown in the
floodwaters of judgment.
>
>         7 For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You
surround me with songs of victory. Interlude 8 The LORD says, "I will guide
you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over
you. 9 Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle
to keep it under control." 10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing
love surrounds those who trust the LORD. 11 So rejoice in the LORD and be
glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!
