Job 38:1-7

New International Version

The Lord Speaks

38 Then the Lord spoke to Job^(A) out of the storm.^(B) He said:

²“Who is this that obscures my plans^(C)
    with words without knowledge?^(D)
³Brace yourself like a man;
    I will question you,
    and you shall answer me.^(E)

⁴“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?^(F)
    Tell me, if you understand.^(G)
⁵Who marked off its dimensions?^(H) Surely you know!
    Who stretched a measuring line^(I) across it?
⁶On what were its footings set,^(J)
    or who laid its cornerstone^(K)—
⁷while the morning stars^(L) sang together^(M)
    and all the angels^[a]^(N) shouted for joy?^(O)

Hebrews 5:1-10

New International Version

5 Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God,^(A) to offer gifts and sacrifices^(B) for sins.^(C) ²He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray,^(D) since he himself is subject to weakness.^(E) ³This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.^(F) ⁴And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.^(G)

⁵In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory^(H) of becoming a high priest.^(I) But God said^(J) to him,

“You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.”^[a]^(K)

⁶And he says in another place,

“You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.^(L)”^[b]^(M)

⁷During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions^(N) with fervent cries and tears^(O) to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard^(P) because of his reverent submission.^(Q) ⁸Son^(R) though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered^(S) ⁹and, once made perfect,^(T) he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him ¹⁰and was designated by God to be high priest^(U) in the order of Melchizedek.^(V)

New International Version

The Request of James and John^(A)

³⁵Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”

³⁶“What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.

³⁷They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”^(B)

³⁸“You don’t know what you are asking,”^(C) Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup^(D) I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”^(E)

³⁹“We can,” they answered.

Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with,^(F) ⁴⁰but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”

⁴¹When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. ⁴²Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. ⁴³Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,^(G) ⁴⁴and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. ⁴⁵For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,^(H) and to give his life as a ransom for many.”^(I)
