1.  "The next day Moses said to the people. "You have committed a terrible sin, but I will go back up to the LORD on the mountain.  Perhaps I will be able to obtain forgiveness for your sin.  So Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Oh, what a terrible sin these people have committed.  They have made gods of gold for themselves."
 

2.  "My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin.  But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father.  He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous.  He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins - and not only your sins but the sins of all the world."

3.  "But now, if you will only forgive their sin - but if not, erase my name from the record you have written!'

4.  "just as my Father knows me and I know the Father.  So I sacrifice my life for the sheep."

5.  "Take this baby and nurse him for me," the princess told the baby's mother.  I will pay you for your help." So the woman took her baby home and nursed him.   Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him as her own son.  The princess named him Moses, for she explained, "I lifted him out of the water."

6.  "Jesus' parents were amazed at what was being said about him."

7.  "But some other shepherds came and chased them away.  So Moses jumped up and rescued the girls from the shepherds.  Then he drew water for their flocks."

8.  "The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans.  She said to Jesus, "You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman.  Why are you asking me for a drink? Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.  But sir, you don't have a rope or a bucket," she said, "and this well is very deep.  Where would you get this living water?

9.  "Years passed, and the king of Egypt died.  But the Israelites continued to groan under their burden of slavery.  They cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God."

10.  "When Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a  dream to Joseph in Egypt.  Get up! the angel said, "Take the child and his mother back to the land of Israel, because those who were trying to kill the child are dead."
