Proverbs 8:31

Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

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

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.

“I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”

But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and was going to God,

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.

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

He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.

How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe your precepts.

How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!

One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
