Isaiah 52:13-15

New International Version

The Suffering and Glory of the Servant

¹³See, my servant^(A) will act wisely^[a];
    he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.^(B)
¹⁴Just as there were many who were appalled^(C) at him^[b]—
    his appearance was so disfigured^(D) beyond that of any human being
    and his form marred beyond human likeness^(E)—
¹⁵so he will sprinkle^(F) many nations,^[c]
    and kings^(G) will shut their mouths^(H) because of him.
For what they were not told, they will see,
    and what they have not heard, they will understand.^(I)

John 15:9-17

New International Version

⁹“As the Father has loved me,^(A) so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. ¹⁰If you keep my commands,^(B) you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. ¹¹I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.^(C) ¹²My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.^(D) ¹³Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.^(E) ¹⁴You are my friends^(F) if you do what I command.^(G) ¹⁵I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.^(H) ¹⁶You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you^(I) so that you might go and bear fruit^(J)—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.^(K) ¹⁷This is my command: Love each other.^(L)
