1 Now on the first day of the week, at very early dawn, they came back to the tomb bringing the fragrant spices which they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,
3 but when they* went in, they did not find the body.*
4 And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men in gleaming clothing stood near them.
5 And as* they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you while he* was still in Galilee,
7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men who are sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?"
8 And they remembered his words,
9 and when they* returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the others with them were telling these things to the apostles.
11 And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they refused to believe them.
12 But Peter got up and* ran to the tomb, and bending over to look, he saw only the strips of linen cloth, and he went away to his home* wondering what had happened.
13 And behold, on that same day, two of them were traveling to a village ⌊named⌋* Emmaus that was sixty stadia* distant from Jerusalem,
14 and they were conversing with one another about all these things that had happened.
15 And it happened that while they were conversing, and discussing, Jesus himself also approached and* began to go along with* them,
16 but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
17 And he said to them, "What are these matters that you are discussing with one another as you* are walking along?" And they stood still, looking sad.
18 And one of them, ⌊named⌋* Cleopas, answered and* said to him, "Are you the only one living near Jerusalem and not knowing the things that have happened in it in these days?"
19 And he said to them, "What things?" So they said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, a man who was a prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people,
20 and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over to a sentence of death, and crucified him.
21 But we were hoping that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. But in addition to all these things, this is the third day ⌊since⌋* these things took place.
22 But also some women from among us astonished us, who were at the tomb early in the morning,
23 and when they* did not find his body, they came back saying they had seen even a vision of angels, who said that he was alive!
24 And some of those with us went out to the tomb and found it* like this, just as the women had also said, but him they did not see."
25 And he said to them, "O foolish and slow in heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Was it not necessary that the Christ suffer these things and enter into his glory?"
27 And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures.
28 And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he acted as though he was going farther.
29 And they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, because it is getting toward evening, and by this time the day is far spent." And he went in to stay with them.
30 And it happened that when he reclined at the table with them, he took the bread and* gave thanks, and after* breaking it,* he gave it* to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he became invisible to them.
32 And they said to one another, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining the scriptures to us?"
33 And they got up that same hour and* returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and those with them assembled,
34 saying, "The Lord has really been raised, and has appeared to Simon!"
35 And they began describing* ⌊what happened⌋* on the road, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
36 And while* they were saying these things, he himself stood there among them.*
37 But they were startled and became terrified, and* thought they had seen a ghost.
38 And he said to them, "Why are you frightened? And for what reason do doubts arise in your hearts?
39 Look at my hands and my feet, that I am I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as ⌊you see that I have⌋."*
40 And when he* had said this, he showed them his* hands and his* feet.
41 And while* they were still disbelieving because of joy and were marveling, he said to them, "Do you have anything ⌊to eat⌋* here?"
42 So they gave him a piece of broiled fish,
43 and he took it* and* ate it* in front of them.
44 And he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I* was still with you, that everything that is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled."
45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,
46 and said to them, "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day,
47 and repentance and the forgiveness* of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations,* beginning from Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I am sending out* what was promised by my Father upon you, but you stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51 And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven.
52 And they worshiped him and* returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 And they were ⌊continually⌋* in the temple courts* praising God.

Luke 24:1-11
1 Now on the first day of the week, at very early dawn, they came back to the tomb bringing the fragrant spices which they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,
3 but when they* went in, they did not find the body.*
4 And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men in gleaming clothing stood near them.
5 And as* they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you while he* was still in Galilee,
7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men who are sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?"
8 And they remembered his words,
9 and when they* returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the others with them were telling these things to the apostles.
11 And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they refused to believe them.

18 Mary Magdalene came and* announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and he had said these things to her.

1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it* was still dark, and saw the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

19 And he answered them and* said, "O unbelieving generation! ⌊How long⌋* will I be with you? ⌊How long⌋* must I put up with you? Bring him to me!"

14 And later, while* they were reclining at table, he appeared to the eleven. And he reprimanded their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he* had been raised.
Hebrews 5:11-12
11 Concerning this* ⌊we have much to say and it is difficult to explain⌋*, since you have become sluggish in hearing.
12 For indeed, although you* ought to be teachers ⌊by this time⌋*, you have need of someone to teach you again the beginning elements of the oracles of God, and ⌊you have need of⌋* milk, not* solid food.
Psalms 22:1-31
1 For the music director; according to The Doe of the Dawn. A psalm of David.*
My God, my God why have you forsaken me? Why are you far from helping me, far from the words of my groaning? 2 O my God, I call by day and you do not answer, and by night but I have no rest.* 3 Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. 4 Our ancestors* trusted you; they trusted and you delivered them. 5 They cried to you and were saved; they trusted you and were not ashamed. 6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by humankind and despised by people. 7 All who see me mock me. They open wide their lips; they shake the head, saying: 8 "⌊He trusts Yahweh⌋.* Let him rescue him. Let him deliver him because he delights in him." 9 Yet you took me from the belly; you made me trust while on my mother's breasts. 10 On you I was cast from the womb. From my mother's belly you have been my God. 11 Do not be far from me because trouble is near; because there is no helper. 12 Many bulls have encircled me; mighty bulls of Bashan have surrounded me. 13 They open their mouth against me like a lion tearing and roaring. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted ⌊within me⌋.* 15 My strength is dry like a potsherd, and my tongue is sticking to my jaws; and you have placed me in the dust of death. 16 Because dogs have surrounded me; a gang of evildoers has encircled me. Like the lion* they are at my hands and my feet. 17 I can count all my bones; they gaze, they look at me. 18 They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.* 19 But you, O Yahweh, do not remain distant. O my help, hasten to help me. 20 Rescue my life from the sword, my only life from the power of the dogs.* 21 Save me from the mouth of the lion, and from the horns of the wild oxen answer me. 22 I will tell your name to my brothers; inside the assembly I will praise you. 23 You who revere Yahweh, praise him! Glorify him, all you seed of Jacob, and be in awe of him, all you seed of Israel, 24 because he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and has not hid his face from him; but he listened to him when he cried for help. 25 From you is my praise. In the great assembly, I will pay my vows before those who revere him. 26 The afflicted will eat and will be satisfied. Those who seek him will praise Yahweh. May your* heart live forever. 27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh. All the families of the nations will worship before you. 28 Because the kingship belongs to Yahweh, and he rules over the nations. 29 All the ⌊healthy ones⌋* of the earth will eat and worship. Before him all of those descending into the dust will kneel, even he who cannot keep his soul alive. 30 Descendants* will serve him. Regarding the Lord, it will be told to the next generation. 31 They will come and tell his saving* deeds to a people yet to be born, that he has done it.

Psalms 69:1-36
1 For the music director, according to The Lilies. Of David.*
Save me, O God, because waters have come up to my neck.* 2 I sink in the mud of the deep, and there is no foothold. I have come to watery depths, and the torrent floods over me. 3 I am weary with my calling out; my throat is parched. My eyes are exhausted in my waiting for my God. 4 More numerous than the hairs of my head are those hating me without a cause. Those who are destroying me—my enemies wrongfully*— are mighty. What I did not steal, I then must restore. 5 O God, ⌊you yourself know⌋* my foolishness, and my guilty deeds are not hidden from you. 6 Let those who wait for you not be put to shame because of me, O Lord Yahweh of hosts. Let those who seek you not be disgraced because of me, O God of Israel. 7 Because on account of you I have borne reproach; disgrace has covered my face. 8 I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother's sons, 9 because the zeal for your house* has consumed me, and the reproaches of those reproaching you have fallen on me. 10 When I wept in the fasting of my soul, it became reproaches for me. 11 When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became for them a byword. 12 Those sitting at the gate talk about me as also* the songs of the drunkards. 13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Yahweh, for a favorable time, O God, according to the abundance of your loyal love. Answer me with the faithfulness of your salvation. 14 Deliver me from the mud and do not let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me and from the watery depths. 15 Do not let the torrent of waters flood over me, or the deep swallow me, or the pit close its mouth over me. 16 Answer me, O Yahweh, because your loyal love is good; according to your abundant mercies, turn to me, 17 and do not hide your face from your servant. Because I am in trouble, answer me quickly. 18 Draw near to my soul; redeem it. Because of my enemies, ransom me. 19 You know my reproach, my shame and my disgrace. ⌊Fully known⌋* to you are all my adversaries. 20 Reproach has broken my heart and I am sick. And I hoped for sympathy, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none. 21 They also gave me gall for food,* and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 22 Let their table before them be a trap, and their times of peace a snare. 23 Let their eyes be dark so they cannot see, and make their loins continually tremble. 24 Pour out your indignation on them, and let your burning anger overtake them. 25 Let their camp be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents, 26 because they persecute those whom you, yourself, have struck, and they tell of the pain of those you have wounded. 27 ⌊Add guilt on top of their guilt⌋,* and do not let them ⌊be acquitted⌋.* 28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be recorded with the righteous. 29 But as for me, though I am afflicted and pained, your salvation will protect* me, O God. 30 I will praise the name of God in song, and magnify him with thanksgiving. 31 For Yahweh it will be better than an ox or bull, horned and hoofed.* 32 The afflicted will see and rejoice. O God seekers, let your heart revive,* 33 because Yahweh hears the needy and does not despise his own who are prisoners. 34 Let heavens and earth praise him, the seas and all that moves in them, 35 because God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it. 36 And the offspring of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will abide in it.

Isaiah 53:1-12
1 Who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
2 For* he went* up like a shoot before him, and like a root from dry ground. He had no form and no majesty that* we should see him, and no appearance that* we should take pleasure in him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering, and acquainted with* sickness, and like ⌊one from whom others hide their faces⌋,* he was despised, and we did not hold him in high regard.
4 However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses, and he carried our pain, yet* we ourselves assumed him stricken, struck down by God and afflicted.
5 But* he was pierced* because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; the chastisement for* our peace* was upon him, and by his wounds* ⌊we were healed⌋.*
6 All of us have wandered about like sheep; we each have turned to his own way; and Yahweh let fall on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet* he did not open his mouth; he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter, and like a sheep is dumb before its shearers, so* he did not open his mouth.
8 He was taken by restraint of justice, and who concerned himself with his generation? For he was cut off from the land of the living; he received a blow because of the transgression of my people.
9 He made* his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet* Yahweh was pleased to crush him; he ⌊made him sick⌋.* If she* places* his life a guilt offering,* he will see offspring. He will prolong days, and the will of Yahweh will succeed in his hand.
11 From the trouble of his life* he will see;* he will be satisfied. In his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, shall declare many righteous,* and he is the one who will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will divide to him a portion among the many,* and with the strong ones he will divide bounty, ⌊because⌋* he poured his life out to death and was counted with the transgressors; and* he was the one who bore the sin of many and will intercede for the transgressors.
Zechariah 13:7

8 you subjected all things under his feet.*
For in subjecting all things,* he left nothing that was not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him, 9 but we see Jesus, for a short time made lower than the angels, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that apart from God* he might taste death on behalf of everyone. 10 For it was fitting for him for whom are all things and through whom are all things in bringing many sons to glory to perfect the originator of their salvation through sufferings.

Hebrews 9:22-23
22 Indeed, nearly everything is purified with blood according to the law, and apart from the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23 Therefore it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these.

8 And Yahweh said to Moses, "Make for yourself a snake and place it on a pole. When* anyone is bitten and looks at it, that person will live."
9 So Moses made a snake of bronze, and he placed it on the pole; whenever* a snake bit someone, and that person looked at the snake of bronze, he lived.

14 I will be a father to him, and he will be a son for me, whom I will punish when he does wrong, with a rod of men and with blows of the ⌊human beings⌋.*

3 "Aaron must enter the sanctuary with this: ⌊a young bull⌋* as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering.
4 He must put on ⌊a holy linen tunic⌋,* and linen undergarments must be on his body, and he must fasten himself* with a linen sash, and he must wrap a linen turban around his head*—they are holy garments, and he shall wash his body with water, then* he shall put them on.
5 And he must take from the ⌊Israelites⌋'* community two he-goats as a sin offering and one ram as a burnt offering.
6 "And Aaron shall present the sin offering's bull, which is for himself, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and he shall present them ⌊before⌋* Yahweh at the tent of assembly's entrance.
8 Then* Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for Yahweh and one for Azazel.
9 And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot for Yahweh fell, and he shall ⌊sacrifice⌋* it as a sin offering.
10 But* he must present alive ⌊before⌋* Yahweh the goat on which the lot for Azazel fell to make atonement for himself, to send it away into the desert to Azazel.
11 "And Aaron shall present the sin offering's bull, which is for himself, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family; then* he shall slaughter the sin offering's bull, which is for himself.
12 And he shall take a* censer full of ⌊burning charcoal⌋* from upon the altar from ⌊before⌋* Yahweh and ⌊two handfuls⌋* of incense of powdered fragrant perfumes, and he shall bring it ⌊from behind⌋* the curtain,
13 and he shall put the incense on the fire ⌊before⌋* Yahweh so that the cloud of incense might cover the atonement cover, which is on the ⌊covenant text⌋,* so that he might not die.
14 And he shall take ⌊some of⌋* the bull's blood, and he shall spatter it* with his finger on the atonement cover's surface on the eastern side, and ⌊before⌋* the atonement cover he shall spatter ⌊some of⌋* the blood with his finger seven times.
15 "And he shall slaughter the sin offering's goat, which is for the people, and he shall bring its blood ⌊from behind⌋* the curtain, and he shall do with its blood as that which he did with* the bull's blood, and he shall spatter it on the atonement cover and ⌊before⌋* the atonement cover.
16 Thus* he shall make atonement for the sanctuary from the ⌊Israelites⌋'* impurities and from their transgressions for all their sins; and so he must do for the tent of assembly, which dwells with them in the midst of their impurities.
17 And ⌊no person⌋* shall be in the tent of assembly when he enters to make atonement in the sanctuary until he comes out, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family and for all of Israel's assembly.
18 "Then* he shall go out to the altar that is ⌊before⌋* Yahweh, and he shall make atonement for it; and he shall take ⌊some of⌋* the bull's blood and ⌊some of⌋* the goat's blood, and he shall put it* all around on the altar's horns.

17 And Yahweh said to me, 'They are right in what they have said.
18 I will raise up a prophet for them ⌊from among their countrymen⌋* like you, and I will place* my words into his mouth, and he shall speak to them ⌊everything that I command him⌋.*
19 ⌊And then⌋* the man that will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I will hold accountable.

1 Why are nations in tumult, and countries plotting* in vain?*
2 The kings of the earth establish themselves, and the rulers conspire* together against Yahweh and his anointed:
3 "Let us tear off their bonds, and cast their cords from us!"
4 He who sits enthroned in the heavens laughs. The Lord derides them.
5 Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his fury he terrifies them:
6 "But as for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
7 I will tell the decree; Yahweh said to me: "You are my son; today I have begotten you.
8 Ask from me and I will make the nations your heritage, and your possession the ends of the earth.
9 You will break them with an iron rod. Like a potter's vessel you will shatter them."
10 So then, O kings, be wise. Be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11 Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son lest he be angry and you perish on the way, for his anger burns quickly. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

1 A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah. For the music director; according to Mahalath Leannoth. A maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.*
O Yahweh, God of my salvation, I cry out by day and through the night before you. 2 Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry. 3 For my soul is full with troubles, and my life approaches Sheol. 4 I am reckoned with those descending to the pit. I am like a man* without strength,* 5 set free* among the dead, like the slain lying in the grave, whom you no longer remember, even those cut off from your hand. 6 You have set me in the pit below, in dark places, in the depths. 7 Your wrath presses upon me, and you afflict me with all your waves. Selah 8 You have removed my acquaintances far from me. You have made me detestable* to them. I am confined and cannot go out. 9 My eye languishes from misery. I call on you, O Yahweh, every day; I spread out my hands* to you. 10 Do you work wonders* for the dead? Or do the departed spirits* rise up to praise you? Selah 11 Is your loyal love told in the grave, or your faithfulness in the underworld?* 12 Are your wonders* known in the darkness, or your righteousness* in the land of forgetfulness? 13 But as for me, I cry for help to you, O Yahweh, and in the morning my prayer comes before you. 14 Why do you reject my soul, O Yahweh? Why do you hide your face from me? 15 I am afflicted and perishing from my youth. I bear your terrors. I am distraught.* 16 Your burning anger has passed over me; your sudden fears have destroyed me. 17 They surround me like water all the day; they circle about me altogether. 18 You have removed loved one and friend far from me, my acquaintances far from my darkness.

Why do you hide your face from me? 15 I am afflicted and perishing from my youth. I bear your terrors. I am distraught.* 16 Your burning anger has passed over me; your sudden fears have destroyed me. 17 They surround me like water all the day; they circle about me altogether. 18 You have removed loved one and friend far from me, my acquaintances far from my darkness.
Psalms 109:4-20
4 In return for my love they accuse me, though I am in prayer.*
5 So they inflicted evil against me in return for good and hatred in return for my love.
6 Appoint over him a wicked man, and let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is judged, let him come out guilty, and let his prayer* become as sin.
8 Let his days be few; let another take his office.
9 Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow,
10 and let his children wander aimlessly and beg, and let them plead from their ruins.
11 Let the creditor seize all that is his, and let strangers plunder his property.
12 Let there be none who extend to him loyal love, nor any who pities his orphans.
13 Let his descendants* be cut off. Let their name be blotted out in the next generation.
14 Let the iniquity of his ancestors* be remembered before Yahweh, and let the sin of his mother not be blotted out.
15 Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their* memory from the earth,
16 because he did not remember to show loyal love, but he pursued anyone,* poor or needy or brokenhearted, to slay them.
17 Because he loved cursing, let it come upon him. Because he did not delight in blessing, let it be far from him.
18 Because he wore a curse as his robe, let it enter ⌊his body⌋* like water, and into his bones like oil.
19 May it be for him like a garment in which he wraps, and a belt ⌊he continually wears⌋.*
20 Let this be the punishment for my accusers from Yahweh, even those who speak evil against my life.
Psalms 110:1-7
1 Of David. A psalm.*
A declaration of Yahweh to my lord, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool." 2 Yahweh will send out your mighty scepter from Zion; rule in the midst of your enemies. 3 Your people ⌊will volunteer⌋* in the day of your power.* In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, you will have the dew of your youth.* 4 Yahweh has sworn and he will not change his mind, "You are a priest forever according to the manner of Melchizedek." 5 O Lord, at your right hand he will shatter kings in the day of his anger. 6 He will judge among the nations; he will fill them with corpses. He will shatter the ⌊rulers⌋* of many countries. 7 He will drink from the stream by the road; therefore he will lift up his head.

1 And a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from its roots will bear fruit.
2 And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest on him— a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and might, a spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.
3 And his ⌊breath⌋* is in the fear of Yahweh. And he shall judge not by his eyesight, and he shall rebuke not by ⌊what he hears with⌋* his ears.
4 But he shall judge the poor with righteousness, and he shall decide for the needy of the earth with rectitude. And he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he shall kill the wicked person with the breath of his lips.
5 And righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his loins.
6 And a wolf shall ⌊stay⌋* with a lamb, and a leopard shall lie down with a kid, and a calf and a lion and a fatling together ⌊as a small boy leads⌋* them.
7 And a cow and a bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together. And a lion shall eat straw like the cattle.
8 And ⌊an infant⌋* shall play over a serpent's hole, and ⌊a toddler⌋* shall put his hand on a viper's hole.
9 They will not injure and they will not destroy on all of my ⌊holy mountain⌋,* for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
10 And this shall happen on that day:
the nations shall inquire of the root of Jesse, which shall be standing as a signal to the peoples, and his resting place shall be glorious.

2 "Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her,

for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken." 6 A voice is saying, "Call!" And he said, "What shall I call?" All ⌊humankind⌋* are grass, and all his loyalty is like the flowers of the field. 7 Grass withers; the flower withers when the breath of Yahweh blows on it. Surely the people are grass. 8 Grass withers; the flower withers, but* the word of our God will stand forever. 9 ⌊Get yourself⌋* up to a high mountain, Zion, bringer of good news!

Isaiah 42:1-4
1 Look! here is my servant; I hold him, my chosen one, in whom my soul delights. I have ⌊put⌋* my spirit on him; he will bring justice forth to the nations.
2 He will not cry out and lift up and make his voice heard in the street.
3 He will not break a broken reed, and he not will extinguish a dim wick. He will bring justice forth in* faithfulness.
4 He will not grow faint, and he will not be broken until he has established justice in the earth. And the coastlands wait for his teaching.
Isaiah 49:1-8
1 Listen to me, coastlands, and listen attentively, peoples from far away! Yahweh called me from the womb; from the ⌊body⌋* of my mother he made my name known.
2 And he ⌊made⌋* my mouth like a sharp sword; he hid me in the shadow of his hand, and he ⌊made⌋* me like an sharpened arrow; he hid me in his quiver.
3 And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will show my glory."
4 But* I myself said, "I have labored in* vain; I have used up my strength for nothing and vanity! Nevertheless, my justice is with Yahweh, and my reward is with my God."
5 And now Yahweh says, who formed me from the womb as a servant for him, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might not* be gathered, for* I am honored in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God has become my strength.
6 And he says, "It is trivial ⌊for you to be⌋* a servant for me,
to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel. I will give you as a light to the nations, to be my salvation to the end of the earth." 7 Thus says Yahweh, the redeemer of Israel, his holy one,
to the one who despises* life, to the one who abhors the nation, to the slave of rulers: "Kings shall see and stand up; princes, and they shall bow down, for the sake of Yahweh, who is faithful, the holy one of Israel, and he has chosen you." 8 Thus says Yahweh:
"I have answered you in a time of favor, and helped you on a day of salvation, and watched over you, and given you as a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to give the desolate hereditary property as an inheritance,
to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel. I will give you as a light to the nations, to be my salvation to the end of the earth." 7 Thus says Yahweh, the redeemer of Israel, his holy one,

Isaiah 50:2-6
2 Why was there no man when I came, no one who answered when I called? ⌊Do I lack the strength to save⌋?* Or is there no power in me to deliver? Look! by my rebuke I dry up the sea; I ⌊make⌋* the rivers a desert; their fish stink because there is no water, and they* die because of thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with darkness, and I ⌊make⌋* their covering sackcloth."
4 The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of a pupil, to know how to help the weary with a word. He awakens ⌊morning by morning⌋,* awakens an ear for me to listen as do the pupils.
5 The Lord Yahweh has opened an ear for me, and I, I was not rebellious. I did not turn backwards;
6 I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out my ⌊beard⌋;* I did not hide my face from insults and spittle.

13 Look, my servant shall achieve success; he shall be exalted, and he shall be lifted up, and he shall be very high.
Isaiah 61:1-3
1 The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me, because Yahweh has anointed me, he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up ⌊the brokenhearted⌋,* to ⌊proclaim⌋* release to the captives and liberation to those who are bound,
2 to ⌊proclaim⌋* the year of Yahweh's favor, and our God's day of vengeance, to comfort all those in mourning,
3 to ⌊give⌋* for those in mourning in Zion, to give them a head wrap instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit. And ⌊they will be called⌋* oaks of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, to show his glory.

Daniel 2:44
44 And ⌊in the day of those kings⌋,* the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will ⌊never⌋* be destroyed, and the kingdom will not be left for another nation,* and it will bring an end to all these kingdoms, but it will stand ⌊forever⌋.*

25 And you must know and you must understand* that from the time of the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem until an anointed* one—a leader—will be ⌊seven weeks and sixty-two weeks⌋;* it will be restored and will be built with streets and a moat, but ⌊in a time of oppression⌋.*
26 "And after the sixty and two weeks an anointed one* shall be cut off, and ⌊he shall have nothing⌋,* and the people of the coming leader will destroy the city and the sanctuary,* and its end will be with the flood and on to the end there shall be war; these desolations are determined.
27 And he will make a strong covenant with the many for one week, but in half of the week he will let cease sacrifice and offering ⌊and in its place⌋* a desolating abomination comes even until ⌊the determined complete destruction⌋* is poured out on the desolator."

9 And he* said, "⌊Name him⌋* Lo-ammi,* for you are not my people and I am not your God.*
10 * The number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea that cannot be measured or counted; and in the place where it is said to them, "You are not my people," it will be said to them, "Children of the living God."
11 Then the children of Judah and Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one head; and ⌊they will take possession of⌋* the land, for great is the day of Jezreel.*

30 And I will ⌊set⌋* wonders in the heavens, and on earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
31 The sun will be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh.
32 And it will happen—everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh will be rescued, because on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be ⌊those who escape⌋,* as Yahweh said, and among the survivors whom Yahweh is calling.

Zechariah 11:8-13
8 And I got rid of three shepherds in one month, for ⌊I grew impatient⌋* with them, and ⌊they also became tired of me⌋.*
9 So I said, "I will not shepherd you! The one dying will die, and the one to be destroyed will be destroyed. And the ones remaining, let them devour ⌊the flesh of each other⌋."*
10 And I took my staff Kindness and broke it, to break my covenant that I ⌊had made⌋* with all the peoples.
11 And it was broken on that day. Then the afflicted* of the flock,* the ones who were watching me, knew that it was the word of Yahweh.
12 And I said to them, "If ⌊it seems right to you⌋,* give me my wages, but if not, ⌊keep them⌋."* And they weighed out my wages, thirty silver shekels.
13 And Yahweh said to me, "Throw it to the potter,"* ⌊this noble price⌋* at which I was valued by them!" So I took the thirty silver shekels and I threw them to the potter* in the house of Yahweh.
Zechariah 12:10
10 " 'I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants* of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication, and they will look to me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn over him, as one wails over an only child, and they will grieve bitterly over him as one grieves bitterly over a firstborn.
Zechariah 14:4

Mark 8:31-32
31 And he began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise.
32 And he was speaking openly about the subject, and Peter took him aside and* began to rebuke him.

John 17:11-13
11 And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we are.
12 When I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given to me, and guarded them,* and none of them has perished except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled.

24 So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it apart, but cast lots for it, to see whose it will be," so that the scripture would be fulfilled that says,
"They divided my garments among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots."*
Thus the soldiers did these things. 25 Now his mother and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene were standing near the cross of Jesus. 26 So Jesus, seeing his* mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, said to his* mother, "Woman, behold your son!" 27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home. 28 After this, Jesus, knowing that now at last everything was completed, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty." 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and* brought it* to his mouth. 30 Then when he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, "It is completed,"* and bowing his* head, he gave up his* spirit. 31 Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an important day), asked Pilate that their legs could be broken and they could be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him. 33 But when they* came to Jesus, after they saw he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water came out immediately. 35 And the one who has seen it* has testified, and his testimony is true, and that person knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things happened in order that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not a bone of his will be broken."* 37 And again another scripture says, "They will look on the one whom they have pierced."*

14 But their minds were hardened. For until this very day, the same veil remains upon the reading of the old covenant, not being uncovered, because it is done away with in Christ.
15 But until today, whenever Moses is read aloud, a veil lies upon their heart,
16 but whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

15 And how will they preach, unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How timely are the feet of those who bring good news of good things."*

8 And when he* comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:
9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me,

11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
12 I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them* now.
13 But when he—the Spirit of truth—comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will proclaim to you the things to come.
