Numbers 6:9-15 and John 6:16-21 (New Living Translation)

NUMBERS 6:9-15
RULES FOR NAZIRITES (continued)
9    “If someone falls dead beside them, the hair they have dedicated will be defiled. They must wait for seven days and then shave their heads. Then they will be cleansed from their defilement.
10  On the eighth day they must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
11  The priest will offer one of the birds for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way, he will purify them from the guilt they incurred through contact with the dead body. Then they must reaffirm their commitment and let their hair begin to grow again.
12  The days of their vow that were completed before their defilement no longer count. They must rededicate themselves to the Lord as a Nazirite for the full term of their vow, and each must bring a one-year-old male lamb for a guilt offering.
13  “This is the ritual law for Nazirites. At the conclusion of their time of separation as Nazirites, they must each go to the entrance of the Tabernacle
14  and offer their sacrifices to the Lord: a one-year-old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering, a one-year-old female lamb without defect for a sin offering, a ram without defect for a peace offering,
15  a basket of bread made without yeast—cakes of choice flour mixed with olive oil and wafers spread with olive oil—along with their prescribed grain offerings and liquid offerings.

JOHN 6:16-21
JESUS WALKS ON THE WATER
16  That evening Jesus’ disciples went down to the shore to wait for him. 
17  But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum. 
18  Soon a gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough. 
19  They had rowed three or four miles when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified, 
20  but he called out to them, “Don’t be afraid. I am here!” 
21  Then they were eager to let him in the boat, and immediately they arrived at their destination!
