Mark 5:42

You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.

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.

They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

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

He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”

God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.

I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him?

When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

All the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; as whatever the king did pleased all the people.

and said, ‘You may come here, but no further. Your proud waves shall be stopped here?’

My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.

I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.

I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”

The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.

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.

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

Their appearance is blacker than a coal. They are not known in the streets. Their skin clings to their bones. It is withered. It has become like a stick.

“My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might be reverent toward me; and he was reverent toward me, and stood in awe of my name.

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.

He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”

He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.

He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;

They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!”

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!

They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”

They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

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.

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

All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.

They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.

The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”

And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?

Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
