Isaiah 33:13-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 Hear, you who are far away, what I have done,
and you who are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid;
trembling has seized the godless:
“Who among us can live with the devouring fire?
Who among us can live with everlasting flames?”
15 Those who walk righteously and speak uprightly,
who despise the gain of oppression,
who wave away a bribe instead of accepting it,
who stop their ears from hearing of bloodshed
and shut their eyes from looking on evil,
16 they will live on the heights;
their refuge will be the fortresses of rocks;
their food will be supplied, their water assured.
The Land of the Majestic King
17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty;
they will behold a land that stretches far away.
18 Your mind will muse on the terror:
“Where is the one who counted?
Where is the one who weighed the tribute?
Where is the one who counted the towers?”(A)
19 No longer will you see the insolent people,
the people of an obscure speech that you cannot comprehend,
stammering in a language that you cannot understand.(B)
20 Look on Zion, the city of our appointed festivals!
Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a quiet habitation, an immovable tent
whose stakes will never be pulled up
and none of whose ropes will be broken.(C)
21 But there the Lord in majesty will be for us
a place of broad rivers and streams
where no galley with oars can go
nor stately ship can pass.(D)
22 For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our ruler;
the Lord is our king; he will save us.(E)
Isaiah 33:13-22
New International Version
Isaiah 33:13-22
New International Version
13 You who are far away,(A) hear(B) what I have done;
you who are near, acknowledge my power!
14 The sinners(C) in Zion are terrified;
trembling(D) grips the godless:
“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?(E)
Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”
15 Those who walk righteously(F)
and speak what is right,(G)
who reject gain from extortion(H)
and keep their hands from accepting bribes,(I)
who stop their ears against plots of murder
and shut their eyes(J) against contemplating evil—
16 they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,(K)
whose refuge(L) will be the mountain fortress.(M)
Their bread will be supplied,
and water will not fail(N) them.
17 Your eyes will see the king(O) in his beauty(P)
and view a land that stretches afar.(Q)
18 In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:(R)
“Where is that chief officer?
Where is the one who took the revenue?
Where is the officer in charge of the towers?(S)”
19 You will see those arrogant people(T) no more,
people whose speech is obscure,
whose language is strange and incomprehensible.(U)
20 Look on Zion,(V) the city of our festivals;
your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful abode,(W) a tent(X) that will not be moved;(Y)
its stakes will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes broken.
21 There the Lord will be our Mighty(Z) One.
It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.(AA)
No galley with oars will ride them,
no mighty ship(AB) will sail them.
22 For the Lord is our judge,(AC)
the Lord is our lawgiver,(AD)
the Lord is our king;(AE)
it is he who will save(AF) us.

Psalm 4
Confident Plea for Deliverance from Enemies
To the leader: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1 Answer me when I call, O God of my right!
You gave me room when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.(A)
2 How long, you people, shall my honor suffer shame?
How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah(B)
3 But know that the Lord has set apart the faithful for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.(C)
4 When you are disturbed,[a] do not sin;
ponder it on your beds, and be silent. Selah(D)
5 Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the Lord.(E)
6 There are many who say, “O that we might see some good!
Let the light of your face shine on us, O Lord!”(F)
7 You have put gladness in my heart
more than when their grain and wine abound.(G)
8 I will both lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety.(H)

Jesus Appears to His Disciples
36 While they were talking about this, Jesus[a] himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”[b] 37 They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.(A) 38 He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see, for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”(B) 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.[c] 41 Yet for all their joy they were still disbelieving and wondering, and he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”(C) 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,[d] 43 and he took it and ate in their presence.(D)
44 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.”(E) 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46 and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Messiah[e] is[f] to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day(F) 47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.(G) 48 You are witnesses[g] of these things.(H)

New International Version
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”(A)
37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.(B) 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see;(C) a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.(D)
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:(E) Everything must be fulfilled(F) that is written about me in the Law of Moses,(G) the Prophets(H) and the Psalms.”(I)
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer(J) and rise from the dead on the third day,(K) 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name(L) to all nations,(M) beginning at Jerusalem.(N) 48 You are witnesses(O) of these things.
