Mark 14:32-36
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Prayer in the Garden
32 Then(A) they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples,(B) “Sit here while I pray.”(C) 33 He took Peter,(D) James,(E) and John(F) with Him, and He began to be deeply distressed and horrified. 34 Then He said to them, “My soul is swallowed up in sorrow[a] —to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.”(G) 35 Then He went a little farther, fell to the ground, and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour(H) might pass from Him. 36 And He said, “Abba,(I) Father!(J) All things are possible(K) for You. Take this cup(L) away from Me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”

Philippians 2:5-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Christ’s Humility and Exaltation
5 Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus,
6 who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God(A)
as something to be used for His own advantage.[a]
7 Instead He emptied Himself(B)
by assuming the form of a slave,(C)
taking on the likeness of men.(D)
And when He had come as a man
in His external form,
8 He humbled Himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death—
even to death on a cross.(E)
9 For this reason God highly exalted Him(F)
and gave Him the name
that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus
every knee will bow(G)—
of those who are in heaven(H) and on earth
and under the earth(I)—
11 and every tongue(J) should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,[b]
to the glory(K) of God the Father.

Hebrews 1:1-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Nature of the Son
1 Long ago God spoke(A) to the fathers by the prophets(B) at different times and in different ways.(C) 2 In these last days,(D) He has spoken to us by His Son. God has appointed Him heir of all things and made the universe[a](E) through Him. 3 The Son is the radiance[b] of God’s glory and the exact expression[c] of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins,[d] He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.[e](F) 4 So He became higher in rank than the angels, just as the name He inherited is superior to theirs.(G)
