Bro. Robert Prins' comment HANDS AND FOREHEADS above reminds me of the occurrences in Revelation especially concerning the mark or seal received on the forehead:
Regarding the saints:
Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
In Rev 20, both the forehead and the hand are mentioned, with reference to the mark of the beast not being present:
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
but equally, the mark of the 'beast' is the opposite to the seal of God on the forehead or hand:
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
see also Rev 14:11 and 19:20
Thank you for pointing out the verse and setting my mind thinking!

Chapter 14 gives us a brief account of what must have been one of the most frightening, but at the same time the most awesome, events of all time. I think it is helpful to remember how dramatic this was - how emotional the song must have been at the start of the next chapter - how uplifted the people must have felt. It is helpful because here we see a picture of our own salvation - sealed from evil by water.

13:9 How could the Lord's law be in their mouth when it hadn't yet been given to them? Perhaps this is Moses writing with the benefit of hindsight, but in any case, there's a principle being displayed here which Israel quickly forgot.
We surely have a modern-day equivalent, as voiced by the Psalmist in Psa 71:15 Psa 145:11 and by Solomon in Prov 8:6

Exo 13:21-22 On leaving Egypt the LORD through His servant Moses led the way to the promise land. There was light for guidance, day and night. The detailed Exodus record of the early stages of the journey to the promised land shows the LORD’s care and abundant mercy (Exo 15:13) for Israel his firstborn son (Exo 4:22-23).
These details prepare the way for us to understand the significance of the words of David, Simeon, the Apostle John and the Lord Jesus Christ. Like the Israelites we always have the light of the Word of God to guide our steps to the Kingdom of God. Are we watching, listening, walking and seeking to obey God in our way of life?
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” Psa 119:105).
Simeon took the baby Jesus in his arms, and blessed God, and said, “For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.” (Luke 2:30-32).
“…God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:” (1John 1:5-6).
“the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.” (Rev 21:23-24).

1. And the LORD <3068> spake <1696>(8762) unto Moses <4872>, saying <559>(8800),
2. Sanctify <6942>(8761) unto me all the firstborn <1060>, whatsoever openeth <6363> the womb <7358> among the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, both of man <120> and of beast <929>: it is mine.
3. And Moses <4872> said <559>(8799) unto the people <5971>, Remember <2142>(8800) this <2088> day <3117>, in which ye came out <3318>(8804) from Egypt <4714>, out of the house <1004> of bondage <5650>; for by strength <2392> of hand <3027> the LORD <3068> brought you out <3318>(8689) from this place: there shall no leavened bread <2557> be eaten <398>(8735).
4. This day <3117> came ye out <3318>(8802) in the month <2320> Abib <24>.
5. And it shall be when the LORD <3068> shall bring <935>(8686) thee into the land <776> of the Canaanites <3669>, and the Hittites <2850>, and the Amorites <567>, and the Hivites <2340>, and the Jebusites <2983>, which he sware <7650>(8738) unto thy fathers <1> to give <5414>(8800) thee, a land <776> flowing <2100>(8802) with milk <2461> and honey <1706>, that thou shalt keep <5647>(8804) this service <5656> in this month <2320>.
6. Seven <7651> days <3117> thou shalt eat <398>(8799) unleavened bread <4682>, and in the seventh <7637> day <3117> shall be a feast <2282> to the LORD <3068>.
7. Unleavened bread <4682> shall be eaten <398>(8735) seven <7651> days <3117>; and there shall no leavened bread <2557> be seen <7200>(8735) with thee, neither shall there be leaven <7603> seen <7200>(8735) with thee in all thy quarters <1366>.
8. And thou shalt shew <5046>(8689) thy son <1121> in that day <3117>, saying <559>(8800), This is done because of <5668> that <2088> which the LORD <3068> did <6213>(8804) unto me when I came forth <3318>(8800) out of Egypt <4714>.
9. And it shall be for a sign <226> unto thee upon thine hand <3027>, and for a memorial <2146> between thine eyes <5869>, that the LORD'S <3068> law <8451> may be in thy mouth <6310>: for with a strong <2389> hand <3027> hath the LORD <3068> brought thee out <3318>(8689) of Egypt <4714>.
10. Thou shalt therefore keep <8104>(8804) this ordinance <2708> in his season <4150> from year <3117> to year <3117>.
11. And it shall be when the LORD <3068> shall bring <935>(8686) thee into the land <776> of the Canaanites <3669>, as he sware <7650>(8738) unto thee and to thy fathers <1>, and shall give <5414>(8804) it thee,
12. That thou shalt set apart <5674>(8689) unto the LORD <3068> all that openeth <6363> the matrix <7358>, and every firstling <6363> that cometh <7698> of a beast <929> which thou hast; the males <2145> shall be the LORD'S <3068>.
13. And every firstling <6363> of an ass <2543> thou shalt redeem <6299>(8799) with a lamb <7716>; and if thou wilt not redeem <6299>(8799) it, then thou shalt break his neck <6202>(8804): and all the firstborn <1060> of man <120> among thy children <1121> shalt thou redeem <6299>(8799).
14. And it shall be when thy son <1121> asketh <7592>(8799) thee in time to come <4279>, saying <559>(8800), What is this? that thou shalt say <559>(8804) unto him, By strength <2392> of hand <3027> the LORD <3068> brought us out <3318>(8689) from Egypt <4714>, from the house <1004> of bondage <5650>:
15. And it came to pass, when Pharaoh <6547> would hardly <7185>(8689) let us go <7971>(8763), that the LORD <3068> slew <2026>(8799) all the firstborn <1060> in the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, both the firstborn <1060> of man <120>, and the firstborn <1060> of beast <929>: therefore I sacrifice <2076>(8802) to the LORD <3068> all that openeth <6363> the matrix <7358>, being males <2145>; but all the firstborn <1060> of my children <1121> I redeem <6299>(8799).
16. And it shall be for a token <226> upon thine hand <3027>, and for frontlets <2903> between thine eyes <5869>: for by strength <2392> of hand <3027> the LORD <3068> brought us forth <3318>(8689) out of Egypt <4714>.
17. And it came to pass, when Pharaoh <6547> had let the people <5971> go <7971>(8763), that God <430> led <5148>(8804) them not through the way <1870> of the land <776> of the Philistines <6430>, although <3588> that was near <7138>; for God <430> said <559>(8804), Lest peradventure the people <5971> repent <5162>(8735) when they see <7200>(8800) war <4421>, and they return <7725>(8804) to Egypt <4714>:
18. But God <430> led <5437> <0> the people <5971> about <5437>(8686), through the way <1870> of the wilderness <4057> of the Red <5488> sea <3220>: and the children <1121> of Israel <3478> went up <5927>(8804) harnessed <2571> out of the land <776> of Egypt <4714>.
19. And Moses <4872> took <3947>(8799) the bones <6106> of Joseph <3130> with him: for he had straitly <7650>(8687) sworn <7650>(8689) the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, saying <559>(8800), God <430> will surely <6485>(8800) visit <6485>(8799) you; and ye shall carry up <5927> <0> my bones <6106> away <5927>(8689) hence with you.
20. And they took their journey <5265>(8799) from Succoth <5523>, and encamped <2583>(8799) in Etham <864>, in the edge <7097> of the wilderness <4057>.
21. And the LORD <3068> went <1980>(8802) before <6440> them by day <3119> in a pillar <5982> of a cloud <6051>, to lead <5148>(8687) them the way <1870>; and by night <3915> in a pillar <5982> of fire <784>, to give them light <215>(8687); to go <3212>(8800) by day <3119> and night <3915>:
22. He took not away <4185>(8686) the pillar <5982> of the cloud <6051> by day <3119>, nor the pillar <5982> of fire <784> by night <3915>, from before <6440> the people <5971>.
1. And the LORD <3068> spake <1696>(8762) unto Moses <4872>, saying <559>(8800),
2. Speak <1696>(8761) unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, that they turn <7725>(8799) and encamp <2583>(8799) before <6440> Pihahiroth <6367>, between Migdol <4024> and the sea <3220>, over against <6440> Baalzephon <1189>: before <5226> it shall ye encamp <2583>(8799) by the sea <3220>.
3. For Pharaoh <6547> will say <559>(8804) of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, They are entangled <943>(8737) in the land <776>, the wilderness <4057> hath shut them in <5462>(8804).
4. And I will harden <2388>(8765) Pharaoh's <6547> heart <3820>, that he shall follow <7291>(8804) after <310> them; and I will be honoured <3513>(8735) upon Pharaoh <6547>, and upon all his host <2428>; that the Egyptians <4714> may know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>. And they did <6213>(8799) so.
5. And it was told <5046>(8714) the king <4428> of Egypt <4714> that the people <5971> fled <1272>(8804): and the heart <3824> of Pharaoh <6547> and of his servants <5650> was turned <2015>(8735) against the people <5971>, and they said <559>(8799), Why have we done <6213>(8804) this, that we have let Israel <3478> go <7971>(8765) from serving <5647>(8800) us?
6. And he made ready <631>(8799) his chariot <7393>, and took <3947>(8804) his people <5971> with him:
7. And he took <3947>(8799) six <8337> hundred <3967> chosen <977>(8803) chariots <7393>, and all the chariots <7393> of Egypt <4714>, and captains <7991> over every one of them.
8. And the LORD <3068> hardened <2388>(8762) the heart <3820> of Pharaoh <6547> king <4428> of Egypt <4714>, and he pursued <7291>(8799) after <310> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>: and the children <1121> of Israel <3478> went out <3318>(8802) with an high <7311>(8802) hand <3027>.
9. But the Egyptians <4714> pursued <7291>(8799) after <310> them, all the horses <5483> and chariots <7393> of Pharaoh <6547>, and his horsemen <6571>, and his army <2428>, and overtook <5381>(8686) them encamping <2583>(8802) by the sea <3220>, beside Pihahiroth <6367>, before <6440> Baalzephon <1189>.
10. And when Pharaoh <6547> drew nigh <7126>(8689), the children <1121> of Israel <3478> lifted up <5375>(8799) their eyes <5869>, and, behold, the Egyptians <4714> marched <5265>(8802) after <310> them; and they were sore <3966> afraid <3372>(8799): and the children <1121> of Israel <3478> cried out <6817>(8799) unto the LORD <3068>.
11. And they said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Because there were no graves <6913> in Egypt <4714>, hast thou taken us away <3947>(8804) to die <4191>(8800) in the wilderness <4057>? wherefore <2063> hast thou dealt <6213>(8804) thus with us, to carry us forth <3318>(8687) out of Egypt <4714>?
12. Is not this the word <1697> that we did tell <1696>(8765) thee in Egypt <4714>, saying <559>(8800), Let us alone <2308>(8798), that we may serve <5647>(8799) the Egyptians <4714>? For it had been better <2896> for us to serve <5647>(8800) the Egyptians <4714>, than that we should die <4191>(8800) in the wilderness <4057>.
13. And Moses <4872> said <559>(8799) unto the people <5971>, Fear <3372>(8799) ye not, stand still <3320>(8690), and see <7200>(8798) the salvation <3444> of the LORD <3068>, which he will shew <6213>(8799) to you to day <3117>: for the Egyptians <4714> whom ye have seen <7200>(8804) to day <3117>, ye shall see <7200>(8800) them again <3254>(8686) no more for <5704> ever <5769>.
14. The LORD <3068> shall fight <3898>(8735) for you, and ye shall hold your peace <2790>(8686).
15. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Wherefore criest <6817>(8799) thou unto me? speak <1696>(8761) unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, that they go forward <5265>(8799):
16. But lift thou up <7311>(8685) thy rod <4294>, and stretch out <5186>(8798) thine hand <3027> over the sea <3220>, and divide <1234>(8798) it: and the children <1121> of Israel <3478> shall go <935>(8799) on dry <3004> ground through the midst <8432> of the sea <3220>.
17. And I, behold, I will harden <2388>(8764) the hearts <3820> of the Egyptians <4714>, and they shall follow <935>(8799) them <310>: and I will get me honour <3513>(8735) upon Pharaoh <6547>, and upon all his host <2428>, upon his chariots <7393>, and upon his horsemen <6571>.
18. And the Egyptians <4714> shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>, when I have gotten me honour <3513>(8736) upon Pharaoh <6547>, upon his chariots <7393>, and upon his horsemen <6571>.
19. And the angel <4397> of God <430>, which went <1980>(8802) before <6440> the camp <4264> of Israel <3478>, removed <5265>(8799) and went <3212>(8799) behind <310> them; and the pillar <5982> of the cloud <6051> went <5265>(8799) from before their face <6440>, and stood <5975>(8799) behind <310> them:
20. And it came <935>(8799) between the camp <4264> of the Egyptians <4714> and the camp <4264> of Israel <3478>; and it was a cloud <6051> and darkness <2822> to them, but it gave light <215>(8686) by night <3915> to these: so that the one came not near <7126>(8804) the other <2088> all the night <3915>.
21. And Moses <4872> stretched out <5186>(8799) his hand <3027> over the sea <3220>; and the LORD <3068> caused the sea <3220> to go <3212>(8686) back by a strong <5794> east <6921> wind <7307> all that night <3915>, and made <7760>(8799) the sea <3220> dry <2724> land, and the waters <4325> were divided <1234>(8735).
22. And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> went <935>(8799) into the midst <8432> of the sea <3220> upon the dry <3004> ground: and the waters <4325> were a wall <2346> unto them on their right hand <3225>, and on their left <8040>.
23. And the Egyptians <4714> pursued <7291>(8799), and went in <935>(8799) after <310> them to the midst <8432> of the sea <3220>, even all Pharaoh's <6547> horses <5483>, his chariots <7393>, and his horsemen <6571>.
24. And it came to pass, that in the morning <1242> watch <821> the LORD <3068> looked <8259>(8686) unto the host <4264> of the Egyptians <4714> through the pillar <5982> of fire <784> and of the cloud <6051>, and troubled <2000>(8799) the host <4264> of the Egyptians <4714>,
25. And took off <5493>(8686) their chariot <4818> wheels <212>, that they drave <5090>(8762) them heavily <3517>: so that the Egyptians <4714> said <559>(8799), Let us flee <5127>(8799) from the face <6440> of Israel <3478>; for the LORD <3068> fighteth <3898>(8737) for them against the Egyptians <4714>.
26. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Stretch out <5186>(8798) thine hand <3027> over the sea <3220>, that the waters <4325> may come again <7725>(8799) upon the Egyptians <4714>, upon their chariots <7393>, and upon their horsemen <6571>.
27. And Moses <4872> stretched forth <5186>(8799) his hand <3027> over the sea <3220>, and the sea <3220> returned <7725>(8799) to his strength <386> when the morning <1242> appeared <6437>(8800); and the Egyptians <4714> fled <5127>(8801) against <7125>(8800) it; and the LORD <3068> overthrew <5287>(8762) the Egyptians <4714> in the midst <8432> of the sea <3220>.
28. And the waters <4325> returned <7725>(8799), and covered <3680>(8762) the chariots <7393>, and the horsemen <6571>, and all the host <2428> of Pharaoh <6547> that came <935>(8802) into the sea <3220> after <310> them; there remained <7604>(8738) not so much as <5704> one <259> of them.
29. But the children <1121> of Israel <3478> walked <1980>(8804) upon dry <3004> land in the midst <8432> of the sea <3220>; and the waters <4325> were a wall <2346> unto them on their right hand <3225>, and on their left <8040>.
30. Thus the LORD <3068> saved <3467>(8686) Israel <3478> that day <3117> out of the hand <3027> of the Egyptians <4714>; and Israel <3478> saw <7200>(8799) the Egyptians <4714> dead <4191>(8801) upon the sea <3220> shore <8193>.
31. And Israel <3478> saw <7200>(8799) that great <1419> work <3027> which the LORD <3068> did <6213>(8804) upon the Egyptians <4714>: and the people <5971> feared <3372>(8799) the LORD <3068>, and believed <539>(8686) the LORD <3068>, and his servant <5650> Moses <4872>.
Notes that are not verse specific
v.7 - Here we have just what we were looking at above - the pillar of cloud/fire that was God leading them, and we are asked to stop and consider (selah [unusually, mid-sentence]) before moving on. Psa.114:1-8 extends this idea further. We are clearly encouraged to allow God to lead us as we pursue our precarious walk towards His kingdom in the way that he led the people in the wilderness.

1. To the chief Musician <5329>(8764), A Psalm <4210> or Song <7892> of David <1732>. Let God <430> arise <6965>(8799), let his enemies <341>(8802) be scattered <6327>(8799): let them also that hate <8130>(8764) him flee <5127>(8799) before <6440> him.

4. Sing <7891>(8798) unto God <430>, sing praises <2167>(8761) to his name <8034>: extol <5549>(8798) him that rideth <7392>(8802) upon the heavens <6160> by his name <8034> JAH <3050>, and rejoice <5937>(8798) before <6440> him.
5. A father <1> of the fatherless <3490>, and a judge <1781> of the widows <490>, is God <430> in his holy <6944> habitation <4583>.
6. God <430> setteth <3427>(8688) the solitary <3173> in families <1004>: he bringeth out <3318>(8688) those which are bound <615> with chains <3574>: but the rebellious <5637>(8802) dwell <7931>(8804) in a dry <6707> land.
7. O God <430>, when thou wentest forth <3318>(8800) before <6440> thy people <5971>, when thou didst march <6805>(8800) through the wilderness <3452>; Selah <5542>:
8. The earth <776> shook <7493>(8804), the heavens <8064> also dropped <5197>(8804) at the presence <6440> of God <430>: even Sinai <5514> itself <2088> was moved at the presence <6440> of God <430>, the God <430> of Israel <3478>.
9. Thou, O God <430>, didst send <5130>(8686) a plentiful <5071> rain <1653>, whereby thou didst confirm <3559>(8790) thine inheritance <5159>, when it was weary <3811>(8738).
10. Thy congregation <2416> hath dwelt <3427>(8804) therein: thou, O God <430>, hast prepared <3559>(8686) of thy goodness <2896> for the poor <6041>.
11. The Lord <136> gave <5414>(8799) the word <562>: great <7227> was the company <6635> of those that published <1319>(8764) it.
12. Kings <4428> of armies <6635> did flee <5074>(8799) apace <5074>(8799): and she that tarried <5116> at home <1004> divided <2505>(8762) the spoil <7998>.
13. Though ye have lien <7901>(8799) among the pots <8240>, yet shall ye be as the wings <3671> of a dove <3123> covered <2645>(8737) with silver <3701>, and her feathers <84> with yellow <3422> gold <2742>.
14. When the Almighty <7706> scattered <6566>(8763) kings <4428> in it, it was white as snow <7949>(8686) in Salmon <6756>.
15. The hill <2022> of God <430> is as the hill <2022> of Bashan <1316>; an high <1386> hill <2022> as the hill <2022> of Bashan <1316>.
16. Why leap <7520>(8762) ye, ye high <1386> hills <2022>? this is the hill <2022> which God <430> desireth <2530>(8804) to dwell in <3427>(8800); yea, the LORD <3068> will dwell <7931>(8799) in it for ever <5331>.
17. The chariots <7393> of God <430> are twenty thousand <7239>, even thousands <505> of angels <8136>: the Lord <136> is among them, as in Sinai <5514>, in the holy <6944> place.
18. Thou hast ascended <5927>(8804) on high <4791>, thou hast led captivity <7628> captive <7617>(8804): thou hast received <3947>(8804) gifts <4979> for men <120>; yea, for the rebellious <5637>(8802) also, that the LORD <3050> God <430> might dwell <7931>(8800) among them.
19. Blessed <1288>(8803) be the Lord <136>, who daily <3117> loadeth <6006>(8799) us with benefits, even the God <410> of our salvation <3444>. Selah <5542>.
20. He that is our God <410> is the God <410> of salvation <4190>; and unto GOD <3069> the Lord <136> belong the issues <8444> from death <4194>.
21. But God <430> shall wound <4272>(8799) the head <7218> of his enemies <341>(8802), and the hairy <8181> scalp <6936> of such an one as goeth on still <1980>(8693) in his trespasses <817>.
22. The Lord <136> said <559>(8804), I will bring again <7725>(8686) from Bashan <1316>, I will bring my people again <7725>(8686) from the depths <4688> of the sea <3220>:
23. That thy foot <7272> may be dipped <4272>(8799) in the blood <1818> of thine enemies <341>(8802), and the tongue <3956> of thy dogs <3611> in the same.
24. They have seen <7200>(8804) thy goings <1979>, O God <430>; even the goings <1979> of my God <410>, my King <4428>, in the sanctuary <6944>.
25. The singers <7891>(8802) went before <6923>(8765), the players on instruments <5059>(8802) followed after <310>; among <8432> them were the damsels <5959> playing with timbrels <8608>(8802).
26. Bless <1288>(8761) ye God <430> in the congregations <4721>, even the Lord <136>, from the fountain <4726> of Israel <3478>.
27. There is little <6810> Benjamin <1144> with their ruler <7287>(8802), the princes <8269> of Judah <3063> and their council <7277>, the princes <8269> of Zebulun <2074>, and the princes <8269> of Naphtali <5321>.
28. Thy God <430> hath commanded <6680>(8765) thy strength <5797>: strengthen <5810>(8798), O God <430>, that which <2098> thou hast wrought <6466>(8804) for us.
29. Because of thy temple <1964> at Jerusalem <3389> shall kings <4428> bring <2986>(8686) presents <7862> unto thee.
30. Rebuke <1605>(8798) the company <2416> of spearmen <7070>, the multitude <5712> of the bulls <47>, with the calves <5695> of the people <5971>, till every one submit <7511>(8693) himself with pieces <7518> of silver <3701>: scatter <967>(8765) thou the people <5971> that delight <2654>(8799) in war <7128>.
31. Princes <2831> shall come out <857>(8799) of Egypt <4714>; Ethiopia <3568> shall soon stretch out <7323>(8686) her hands <3027> unto God <430>.
32. Sing <7891>(8798) unto God <430>, ye kingdoms <4467> of the earth <776>; O sing praises <2167>(8761) unto the Lord <136>; Selah <5542>:
33. To him that rideth <7392>(8802) upon the heavens <8064> of heavens <8064>, which were of old <6924>; lo, he doth send out <5414>(8799) his voice <6963>, and that a mighty <5797> voice <6963>.
34. Ascribe <5414>(8798) ye strength <5797> unto God <430>: his excellency <1346> is over Israel <3478>, and his strength <5797> is in the clouds <7834>.
35. O God <430>, thou art terrible <3372>(8737) out of thy holy places <4720>: the God <410> of Israel <3478> is he that giveth <5414>(8802) strength <5797> and power <8592> unto his people <5971>. Blessed <1288>(8803) be God <430>.
Notes that are not verse specific
Ch 2 v 28 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. How is the Lord Jesus Lord of this day? He exhibited the true principles of the Sabbath as outlined in Is 58. He was the embodiment of those priciples which showed how we ought to act to others and display love for our neighbour and in so doing our love for God. The Sabbath was made for man that he might develop spiritually and here was one who was the epitome of all spiritual development. It also points us forward to the kingdom where on that 7th day (7000 years) Jesus will be Lord over all the Earth and the people will bring forth praise to honour our heavenly Father

1. And <2532> again <3825> he entered <1525>(5627) into <1519> Capernaum <2584> after <1223> some days <2250>; and <2532> it was noised <191>(5681) that <3754> he was <2076>(5748) in <1519> the house <3624>.
2. And <2532> straightway <2112> many <4183> were gathered together <4863>(5681), insomuch that <5620> there was <5562> <0> no <3371> room to receive <5562>(5721) them, no, not so much <3366> as about <4314> the door <2374>: and <2532> he preached <2980>(5707) the word <3056> unto them <846>.
3. And <2532> they come <2064>(5736) unto <4314> him <846>, bringing <5342>(5723) one sick of the palsy <3885>, which was borne <142>(5746) of <5259> four <5064>.
4. And <2532> when they could <1410>(5740) not <3361> come nigh <4331>(5658) unto him <846> for <1223> the press <3793>, they uncovered <648>(5656) the roof <4721> where <3699> he was <2258>(5713): and <2532> when they had broken it up <1846>(5660), they let down <5465>(5719) the bed <2895> wherein <1909> <3739> the sick of the palsy <3885> lay <2621>(5711).
5. When <1161> Jesus <2424> saw <1492>(5631) their <846> faith <4102>, he said <3004>(5719) unto the sick of the palsy <3885>, Son <5043>, thy <4675> sins <266> be forgiven <863>(5769) thee <4671>.
6. But <1161> there were <2258>(5713) certain <5100> of the scribes <1122> sitting <2521>(5740) there <1563>, and <2532> reasoning <1260>(5740) in <1722> their <848> hearts <2588>,
7. Why <5101> doth <2980> <0> this <3778> man thus <3779> speak <2980>(5719) blasphemies <988>? who <5101> can <1410>(5736) forgive <863>(5721) sins <266> but <1508> God <2316> only <1520>?
8. And <2532> immediately <2112> when Jesus <2424> perceived <1921>(5631) in his <848> spirit <4151> that <3754> they so <3779> reasoned <1260>(5736) within <1722> themselves <1438>, he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Why <5101> reason ye <1260>(5736) these things <5023> in <1722> your <5216> hearts <2588>?
9. Whether <5101> is it <2076>(5748) easier <2123> to say <2036>(5629) to the sick of the palsy <3885>, Thy sins <266> be forgiven <863>(5769) thee <4671>; or <2228> to say <2036>(5629), Arise <1453>(5669), and <2532> take up <142>(5657) thy <4675> bed <2895>, and <2532> walk <4043>(5720)?
10. But <1161> that <2443> ye may know <1492>(5762) that <3754> the Son <5207> of man <444> hath <2192>(5719) power <1849> on <1909> earth <1093> to forgive <863>(5721) sins <266>, (he saith <3004>(5719) to the sick of the palsy <3885>,)
11. I say <3004>(5719) unto thee <4671>, Arise <1453>(5669), and <2532> take up <142>(5657) thy <4675> bed <2895>, and <2532> go thy way <5217>(5720) into <1519> thine <4675> house <3624>.
12. And <2532> immediately <2112> he arose <1453>(5681), took up <142>(5660) the bed <2895>, and <2532> went forth <1831>(5627) before <1726> them all <3956>; insomuch that <5620> they were <1839> <0> all <3956> amazed <1839>(5733), and <2532> glorified <1392>(5721) God <2316>, saying <3004>(5723), <3754> We <1492> <0> never <3763> saw <1492>(5627) it on this fashion <3779>.
13. And <2532> he went forth <1831>(5627) again <3825> by <3844> the sea side <2281>; and <2532> all <3956> the multitude <3793> resorted <2064>(5711) unto <4314> him <846>, and <2532> he taught <1321>(5707) them <846>.
14. And <2532> as he passed by <3855>(5723), he saw <1492>(5627) Levi <3018> the son of Alphaeus <256> sitting <2521>(5740) at <1909> the receipt of custom <5058>, and <2532> said <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Follow <190>(5720) me <3427>. And <2532> he arose <450>(5631) and followed <190>(5656) him <846>.
15. And <2532> it came to pass <1096>(5633), that <1722>, as Jesus <846> sat at meat <2621>(5738) in <1722> his <846> house <3614>, many <4183> publicans <5057> and <2532> sinners <268> sat <4873> <0> also <2532> together with <4873>(5711) Jesus <2424> and <2532> his <846> disciples <3101>: for <1063> there were <2258>(5713) many <4183>, and <2532> they followed <190>(5656) him <846>.
16. And <2532> when the scribes <1122> and <2532> Pharisees <5330> saw <1492>(5631) him eat <2068>(5723) with <3326> publicans <5057> and <2532> sinners <268>, they said <3004>(5707) unto his <846> disciples <3101>, How <5101> is it that <3754> he eateth <2068>(5719) and <2532> drinketh <4095>(5719) with <3326> publicans <5057> and <2532> sinners <268>?
17. When <2532> Jesus <2424> heard <191>(5660) it, he saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, They that are whole <2480>(5723) have <2192>(5719) no <3756> need <5532> of the physician <2395>, but <235> they that are <2192>(5723) sick <2560>: I came <2064>(5627) not <3756> to call <2564>(5658) the righteous <1342>, but <235> sinners <268> to <1519> repentance <3341>.
18. And <2532> the disciples <3101> of John <2491> and <2532> of the Pharisees <5330> used <2258>(5713) to fast <3522>(5723): and <2532> they come <2064>(5736) and <2532> say <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Why do <1302> <3522> <0> the disciples <3101> of John <2491> and <2532> of the Pharisees <5330> fast <3522>(5719), but <1161> thy <4674> disciples <3101> fast <3522>(5719) not <3756>?
19. And <2532> Jesus <2424> said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, <3361> Can <1410>(5736) the children <5207> of the bridechamber <3567> fast <3522>(5721), while <1722> <3739> the bridegroom <3566> is <2076>(5748) with <3326> them <846>? as long as <3745> <5550> they have <2192>(5719) the bridegroom <3566> with <3326> them <1438>, they cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) fast <3522>(5721).
20. But <1161> the days <2250> will come <2064>(5695), when <3752> the bridegroom <3566> shall be taken away <522>(5686) from <575> them <846>, and <2532> then <5119> shall they fast <3522>(5692) in <1722> those <1565> days <2250>.
21. No man <3762> also <2532> seweth <1976>(5719) a piece <1915> of new <46> cloth <4470> on <1909> an old <3820> garment <2440>: else <1490> the new piece <2537> that filled it up <4138> taketh away <142>(5719) from <846> the old <3820>, and <2532> the rent <4978> is made <1096>(5736) worse <5501>.
22. And <2532> no man <3762> putteth <906>(5719) new <3501> wine <3631> into <1519> old <3820> bottles <779>: else <1490> the new <3501> wine <3631> doth burst <4486>(5719) the bottles <779>, and <2532> the wine <3631> is spilled <1632>(5743), and <2532> the bottles <779> will be marred <622>(5698): but <235> new <3501> wine <3631> must be put <992> into <1519> new <2537> bottles <779>.
23. And <2532> it came to pass <1096>(5633), that he went <3899>(5738) through <1223> the corn fields <4702> on <1722> the sabbath day <4521>; and <2532> his <846> disciples <3101> began <756>(5662), as they went <3598> <4160>(5721), to pluck <5089>(5723) the ears of corn <4719>.
24. And <2532> the Pharisees <5330> said <3004>(5707) unto him <846>, Behold <2396>, why <5101> do they <4160>(5719) on <1722> the sabbath day <4521> that which <3739> is <1832> <0> not <3756> lawful <1832>(5748)?
25. And <2532> he said <3004>(5707) unto them <846>, Have ye never <3763> read <314>(5627) what <5101> David <1138> did <4160>(5656), when <3753> he had <2192>(5627) need <5532>, and <2532> was an hungred <3983>(5656), he <846>, and <2532> they that were with <3326> him <846>?
26. How <4459> he went <1525>(5627) into <1519> the house <3624> of God <2316> in the days <1909> of Abiathar <8> the high priest <749>, and <2532> did eat <5315>(5627) the shewbread <740> <4286>, which <3739> is <1832> <0> not <3756> lawful <1832>(5748) to eat <5315>(5629) but for <1508> the priests <2409>, and <2532> gave <1325>(5656) also <2532> to them which were <5607>(5752) with <4862> him <846>?
27. And <2532> he said <3004>(5707) unto them <846>, The sabbath <4521> was made <1096>(5633) for <1223> man <444>, and not <3756> man <444> for <1223> the sabbath <4521>:
28. Therefore <5620> the Son <5207> of man <444> is <2076>(5748) Lord <2962> also <2532> of the sabbath <4521>.
