Luke 22:63

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

Yahweh says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.”

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and Yahweh’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.

So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.

Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”

so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.

He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.

They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.

He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for. We have found it. We have seen it.”

“All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch.”

Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”

Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”

and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”

Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”

God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.

As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”

Why is it judged incredible with you, if God does raise the dead?

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.

where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until Yahweh’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”

You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can’t escape.

then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.

Listen, islands, to me. Listen, you peoples, from afar: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name.

Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed.”

I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.

Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.

Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.

But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”

because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

for he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.

Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”

Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.

Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
