Isaiah 50:4-10

New King James Version

⁴“The^(A) Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is ^(B)weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
⁵The Lord God ^(C)has opened My ear;
And I was not ^(D)rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.
⁶^(E)I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And ^(F)My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and ^(G)spitting.

⁷“For the Lord God will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore ^(H)I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
⁸^(I)He is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is ^[a]My adversary?
Let him come near Me.
⁹Surely the Lord God will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
^(J)Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
^(K)The moth will eat them up.

¹⁰“Who among you fears the Lord?
Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
Who ^(L)walks in darkness
And has no light?
^(M)Let him trust in the name of the Lord
And rely upon his God.

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection^(A)

³¹And ^(B)He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be ^(C)rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be ^(D)killed, and after three days rise again. ³²He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. ³³But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He ^(E)rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not ^[a]mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him^(F)

³⁴When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, ^(G)“Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. ³⁵For ^(H)whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. ³⁶For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? ³⁷Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸^(I)For whoever ^(J)is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
