New Testament

Deuteronomy 17:6-10 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

6. There must be two or three witnesses that he did it. Then the person should be put to death. But if there is only one witness, the person should not be put to death.

7. The witnesses must be the first to throw stones at the person. Then everyone else will follow. You must get rid of the evil among you.

8. Some cases that come before you may be too difficult to judge. It may be a case of murder, quarreling or attack. Take these cases to the place the Lord your God will choose.

9. Go to the priests who are Levites. And go to the judge who is on duty at that time. Ask them about the case, and they will decide.

10. You must follow the decision they give you. They will be at the place the Lord your God will choose. Be careful to do everything they tell you.
