Psalms 69:19

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,

Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.

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.

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,

“Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,

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.

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.

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.

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.

“Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.

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.

I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

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!”

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.

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.

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

“Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.

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.

Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

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

But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’ ”

Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

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?

Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”

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

The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”

Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”

But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

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!”

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

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

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.

Let’s therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.

who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.

“To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:

Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.

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.”

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.

Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.

When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
