In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from [the] wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

"All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and [the one] to whom the Son wills to reveal [Him."]

To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.

Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.

Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!

For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.

If a man dies, shall he live [again?] All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes.

You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall desire the work of Your hands.

And after my skin is destroyed, this [I know,] That in my flesh I shall see God,

Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. [How] my heart yearns within me!

The wicked is banished in his wickedness, But the righteous has a refuge in his death.

Your dead shall live; [Together with] my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew [is like] the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead.

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
