In one of the first scenes when Jhon Travolta and Samuel Jackson are standing in the apartment with the guys who screwed up. Right before they shoot the crap out of that one guy, he recites a bible passage. I was wondering if you could tell me which passage that was, and what it sais exactly.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Ezekiel 25:17
It is in the Bible it's just misquoted:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezekiel_25:17
In the KJV it says:
17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

The passage that Jules recites in the movie Pulp Fiction does not exist. The passage that he quotes Ezekial 25:17 is nowhere to be found in the bible.
Ezekial 25:17 is a passage from the Bible. In the King James Version of the Bible it reads:
“ And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them. ”
This verse was popularized by the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. However, it is to be noted that the version of this verse used in the movie was changed for cinematic impact. Before shooting a defenseless man, Samuel L. Jackson's character Jules Winnfield gloats by orating before he shoots:
“ The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. ”
Quentin Tarantino used Ezekiel 25:17 as an obscure reference to the 1976 film Karate Kiba, starring Sonny Chiba. In this film, a nearly identical misquote of the King James passage is said by Chiba.
“ The path of the righteous man and defender is beset on all sides by the iniquity of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious anger, who poison and destroy my brothers; and they shall know that I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon them!
