³ If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ just say this: ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.’ ”

Now in subjecting all things to them, God^[c] left nothing outside their control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them,^{(A) 9} but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower^[d] than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God^[e] he might taste death for everyone.^(B)

⁹ For you know the generous act^[a] of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.^(A)

²⁵ nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mortals life and breath and all things.^(A)

³⁶ You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all.^(A)

²⁴ Then they prayed and said, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen^(A)

¹⁵ He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

Psalm 24

Entrance into the Temple

Of David. A Psalm.

¹² Riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and it is in your hand to make great and to give strength to all.^{(A) 13} And now, our God, we give thanks to you and praise your glorious name.
