Deuteronomy 32:36-39

English Standard Version

³⁶For ^(A)the Lord will vindicate^[a] his people
    ^(B)and have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
    and there is none remaining, ^(C)bond or free.
³⁷Then he will say, ^(D)‘Where are their gods,
    ^(E)the rock in which they took refuge,
³⁸who ate the fat of their sacrifices
    and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you;
    let them be your protection!

³⁹“‘See now that ^(F)I, even I, am he,
    and there is no god beside me;
^(G)I kill and I make alive;
    ^(H)I wound and I heal;
    and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.

⁵^(A)Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,^[a] ⁶^(B)who, though he was in ^(C)the form of God, did not count equality with God ^(D)a thing to be grasped,^[b] ⁷but ^(E)emptied himself, by taking the form of a ^(F)servant,^[c] ^(G)being born in the likeness of men. ⁸And being found in human form, he humbled himself by ^(H)becoming obedient to the point of death, ^(I)even death on a cross. ⁹^(J)Therefore ^(K)God has ^(L)highly exalted him and bestowed on him ^(M)the name that is above every name, ¹⁰so that at the name of Jesus ^(N)every knee should bow, ^(O)in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹and ^(P)every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is ^(Q)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

English Standard Version

The Triumphal Entry

¹²The next day ^(A)the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. ¹³So they took branches of ^(B)palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, ^(C)“Hosanna! Blessed is ^(D)he who comes in the name of the Lord, even ^(E)the King of Israel!” ¹⁴And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,

¹⁵^(F)“Fear not, daughter of Zion;
behold, your king is coming,
sitting on a donkey's colt!”

¹⁶^(G)His disciples did not understand these things at first, but ^(H)when Jesus was glorified, then ^(I)they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. ¹⁷^(J)The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. ¹⁸The reason why the crowd went to meet him ^(K)was that they heard he had done this sign. ¹⁹So the Pharisees said to one another, ^(L)“You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, ^(M)the world has gone after him.”
