He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,

saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

saying, The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished.

They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.

From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

And while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men,

and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up. And they were exceedingly sorrowful.

Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death,

and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.

And He began to teach them that it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days to rise again.

And He spoke this word openly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

For He taught His disciples and said to them, The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, He will rise the third day.

Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles;

and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.

But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

But now I am going away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, Where are You going?

A little while, and you do not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go away to the Father.

Then His disciples said among themselves, What is this that He says to us, A little while, and you do not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me; and, because I go to the Father?

And now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.

But now I am coming to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.

Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?

And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

And He said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen this way?

But all this is happening that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

They said therefore among themselves, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be, that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots. Therefore the soldiers did these things.

When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, Woman, behold your son.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst!

So when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It has been finished! And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.

But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, Not one of His bones shall be broken.

But those things which God foretold through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.

He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

and that He was buried, and that He was raised the third day according to the Scriptures,

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; and he was the priest of the Most High God.

And in your Seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the cleansing of the peoples.

and Jehovah said to Moses: Speak to Aaron your brother that he not come at all times into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, that he not die; for I will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.

He shall put the holy linen tunic and the linen trousers on his flesh; he shall be girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be wrapped. These are holy garments. Therefore he shall wash his flesh in water, and put them on.

And Aaron shall bring near the bull as a sin offering for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.

And Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for Jehovah and one lot for the scapegoat.

And the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before Jehovah, to make atonement with it, and to let it go as the scapegoat into the wilderness.

And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before Jehovah, with his hands full of spiced incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil.

And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

Thus he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and thus he shall do for the tent of meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

And he shall go out to the altar that is before Jehovah, and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that anyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.

Thus the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the kinsman avenger of blood, and the congregation shall return him to the city of refuge where he had fled, and he shall remain there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.

Jehovah your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear,

And Jehovah said to me: In that, they have spoken well.

And it shall be that whoever will not give heed to My Words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me.

For Moses truly said to the fathers, The Lord your God will raise up to you a Prophet like me from among your brethren. You shall hear Him in all things, whatever He says to you.

Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.

This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear.

And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken later,

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

the Holy Spirit signifying by this that the way into the Holy of Holies was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.

For the Law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of those things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.

And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel.

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Strong and Mighty God, The Eternal Father, The Prince of Peace.

And a Branch shall go out from the trunk of Jesse, and a Shoot shall grow out of his roots.

And He shall savor the fear of Jehovah. And He shall not judge according to the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.

And righteousness shall be the waistband of His loins, and faithfulness the waistband of His heart.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I have founded in Zion a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation; he who trusts in It shall not be anxious.

Comfort, O comfort My people, says your God.

The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

and the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.

The grass withers, the flower fades, because the Spirit of Jehovah blows upon it; surely the people are grass.

You, who brings good tidings to Zion, go up onto the high mountain. Lift up your voice with strength, you who brings good tidings to Jerusalem, lift it up, be not afraid. Say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those who are with young.

Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; My Elect, in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He shall bring forth justice to the nations.

A bruised reed He shall not break, and a smoking wick He shall not quench; He shall bring forth justice unto truth.

Listen to Me, O coastlands; and give attention, you people from afar; Jehovah has called Me from the womb; from My mother's belly He has made mention of My name.

and said to Me, You are My servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

And now, says Jehovah who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him: Though Israel is not gathered, yet I shall be glorious in the eyes of Jehovah, and My God shall be My strength.

Thus says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, to Him whom man despises, to Him whom the nation loathes, the Servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, rulers also shall bow down, because of Jehovah who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, and He shall choose You.

Why, when I came, was no one here? I called and no one answered. Is My hand shortened at all so that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at My rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink, because there is no water, and die of thirst.

The Lord Jehovah has given Me the tongue of the learned, to know how to speak a word in season to the weary. He wakens morning by morning, He wakens the ear to hear as the learned.

I gave My back to those who strike, and My cheeks to those who pluck; I hid not My face from shame and spitting.

Behold, My Servant shall deal with insight; He shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

so shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; for that which had not been told to them, they shall see; and what they had not heard, they shall consider.

Who has believed Our report? And to whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed?

He is despised and rejected by men; a Man of pain, and knowing infirmity; a hiding of faces; being despised, we have esteemed Him not.

But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

He has been oppressed, and He was afflicted; yet He opens not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before its shearers is mute, so He opens not His mouth.

And His grave was assigned with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; although He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth.

He shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be fulfilled. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me; because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that He might be glorified.

Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King who shall reign and act prudently, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the earth.

Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will establish the good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will take also one of the highest branches of the high cedar and set it out. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.

I will raise up one Shepherd over them, and He shall feed them; My servant David. He shall feed them and be their Shepherd.

And in the days of these kings, the God of Heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other people. It shall break in pieces and bring all these kingdoms to an end, and it shall stand forever.

I saw in the night visions. And behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of the heavens. And He came to the Ancient of Days. And they brought Him near before Him.

Seventy weeks are decreed regarding your people, and regarding your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Holy of Holies.

And after sixty two weeks, Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of a coming ruler shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end shall be with a flood, and desolations are determined, and there shall be war until the end.

Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah and will save them by Jehovah their God. And I will not save them by bow nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.

Then He said, Call his name Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I will not be your God.

And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together, and shall appoint over themselves one head. And they shall go up out of the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek Jehovah their God and David their king. And they shall fear Jehovah and His goodness in the latter days.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.

And I will show signs in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

And it shall be, that whoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall escape. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Jehovah has said, and among the survivors whom Jehovah shall call.

In that day I will raise up the covert of David that has fallen, and I will wall up its breaks. And I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

Now gather yourself together in troops, O daughter of troops; he has laid siege against us. They shall strike the Judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

Therefore He will give them up until the time the one giving birth has given birth. Then the remnant of His brothers shall return to the sons of Israel.

And I will shake all the nations; and the desire of all nations shall come. And I will fill this house with glory, says Jehovah of Hosts.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, says Jehovah of Hosts. And in this place I will give peace, says Jehovah of Hosts.

And speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, saying, Behold, the Man whose name is THE BRANCH. And He shall spring up out of His place, and He shall build the temple of Jehovah.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous and having salvation, lowly, and riding on an ass, even on a colt, the foal of an ass.

I also cut off three shepherds in one month. And My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred Me.

And I took My staff, Beauty, and chopped it in two, that I might break My covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

And I said to them, If it is good in your eyes, give Me My wages; and if not, refrain. And they weighed out My wages, thirty pieces of silver.

And I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and supplication. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they shall be bitter over Him, like the bitterness over the firstborn.

Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, and against the Man who is My Associate, says Jehovah of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn My hand on the little ones.

And His feet shall stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall split in two, from the east even to the west, a very great valley. And half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Behold, I send My messenger, and He will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the Covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He comes, says Jehovah of Hosts.

And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and He shall purify the sons of Levi and purge them like gold and like silver, that they may draw near to Jehovah with an offering in righteousness.

But to you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness shall rise up, with healing on His wings. And you shall go out and frisk like calves of the stall.

Remember the Law of My servant Moses which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and judgments.

And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, that I not come and strike the earth with utter destruction.

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples devise a vain thing?

Let us break and tear away their bonds, and cast away their cords from us.

Then He shall speak to them in His anger, and terrify them in His wrath.

I will declare the decree: Jehovah has said unto Me, You are My Son; today I have begotten You.

You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Therefore My heart is glad, and My glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope;

You will make known to Me the way of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

i1 [To the Chief Musician. Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David.] i0 par My Mighty God, My Mighty God, why have You forsaken Me, and are far from My deliverance, and from the words of My groaning?

But You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

All who see Me mock Me; they shoot out the lip; they shake the head, saying,

For You are He who took Me out of the womb, causing Me to trust while on My mother's breasts.

Be not far from Me, for trouble is near; for there is no one to help.

They have gaped at Me with their mouths, like a tearing and roaring lion.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue clings to My jaws; and You have brought Me into the dust of death.

I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me.

But You, O Jehovah, be not far from Me; O My Strength, make haste to help Me!

Deliver Me from the lion's mouth; from the horns of the oryx. You have answered Me.

You who fear Jehovah, praise Him! All you seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and fear Him all you seed of Israel!

My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will make good My vows before those who fear Him.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Jehovah; and all the families of the nations shall bow down before You.

All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and bow down; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, for no one can keep alive his own soul.

They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness to a people that shall yet be born, that He has done this.

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; my ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You have not asked.

I delight to do Your will, O My God, and Your Law is within My heart.

i1 [To the chief Musician. Shoshannim. A Psalm of David.] i0 par Deliver me, O God; for the waters have come in upon my soul!

I am weary from my crying; my throat is dried; my eyes fail while I wait for my God.

O God, You know my folly, and my guilt is not hidden from You.

because I have borne reproach for Your sake, shame has covered my face.

For the zeal of Your house has eaten Me up; and the reproaches of those who reproached You have fallen upon Me.

I also made sackcloth my clothing, and I became a byword to them.

But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Jehovah, in a favorable time; O God, in the multitude of Your mercies hear me, in the truth of Your salvation.

Do not let the flood of waters overflow me, nor let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

And hide not Your face from Your servant; for I am in trouble; hear me speedily.

You have known My reproach, and My shame, and My dishonor; My enemies are all before You.

They also gave Me gall for my food; and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see; and make their loins shake continually.

Let their dwelling place be desolate; let no one dwell in their tents.

Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into Your righteousness.

But I am lowly and in pain; let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.

This also shall please Jehovah better than an ox or a bull that has horns and hooves.

For Jehovah hears the needy, and does not despise His prisoners.

For God will deliver Zion, and will build the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.

i1 [A Psalm for Solomon.] i0 par Give the king Your justice, O God, and Your righteousness to the king's Son.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

They shall fear You as long as the sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.

In His days the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Him; and His enemies shall lick the dust.

Yea, all kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall serve Him.

He shall have pity on the poor and needy and shall save the souls of the needy.

And He shall live, and to Him shall be given the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall continually be made for Him; He shall be blessed daily.

His name is eternal; His name shall continue and increase before the sun; and men shall be blessed in Him; all nations shall call Him blessed.

And blessed is His glorious name forever; let all the earth be filled with His glory! Amen and Amen.

i1 [A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician. Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.] i0 par O Jehovah the God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You.

For my soul is full of evil, and my life draws near to Sheol.

free among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, and who have been cut off from Your hand.

Your wrath has leaned upon me, and You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah

my eye has become faint because of affliction. Jehovah, I have called daily upon You; I have stretched out my hands unto You.

Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in Abaddon?

But unto You I have cried out, O Jehovah, and in the morning my prayer comes before You.

I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth; I have suffered Your terrors; I am perplexed.

They have encompassed me like water all day long; they have engulfed me altogether.

In return for my love they are my adversaries, but I am in prayer.

Set a wicked man over him, and let Satan stand at his right hand.

Let his days be few, and let another take his office.

Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; let them seek their bread also from the waste.

Let there be no one to extend mercy to him, nor any to show favor to his fatherless children.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

because he did not remember to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, even to kill the disheartened.

As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, so let it enter his body like water, and like oil into his bones.

Let this be the reward to my adversaries from Jehovah, and to those who speak evil against my soul.

i1 [A Psalm of David.] i0 par Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I place Your enemies as Your footstool.

Your people shall be volunteers in the day of Your power; in the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, You have the dew of Your youth.

The Lord at Your right hand shall shatter kings in the day of His wrath.

He shall drink of the brook by the wayside; therefore He shall lift up the head.

The stone which the builders have rejected has become the Head of the corner.

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of Me.

And Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

explaining and setting forth that the Christ needed to suffer and rise again from the dead, and that this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.

searching for what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glories after these things.

And I fell at his feet to do homage to him. But he said to me, Look out! No! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Do homage to God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
