Proverbs 8:1-4

English Standard Version

The Blessings of Wisdom

8 Does not ^(A)wisdom call?
    Does not ^(B)understanding raise her voice?
²On ^(C)the heights beside the way,
    at the crossroads she takes her stand;
³beside ^(D)the gates in front of ^(E)the town,
    at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:
⁴“To you, O ^(F)men, I call,
    and my cry is to ^(G)the children of man.

Proverbs 8:22-31

English Standard Version

²²^(A)“The Lord ^(B)possessed^[a] me at the beginning of his work,^[b]
    the first of his acts ^(C)of old.
²³Ages ago I was ^(D)set up,
    at the first, ^(E)before the beginning of the earth.
²⁴When there were no ^(F)depths I was ^(G)brought forth,
    when there were no springs abounding with water.
²⁵Before the mountains ^(H)had been shaped,
    ^(I)before the hills, I was brought forth,
²⁶before he had made the earth with its fields,
    or the first of the dust of the world.
²⁷When he ^(J)established the heavens, I was there;
    when he drew ^(K)a circle on the face of the deep,
²⁸when he ^(L)made firm the skies above,
    when he established^[c] the fountains of the deep,
²⁹when he ^(M)assigned to the sea its ^(N)limit,
    so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out ^(O)the foundations of the earth,
³⁰    then ^(P)I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his^[d] ^(Q)delight,
    rejoicing before him always,
³¹^(R)rejoicing in his ^(S)inhabited world
    and delighting in the children of man.

Acts 2:22-36

English Standard Version

²²“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, ^(A)a man attested to you by God ^(B)with ^(C)mighty works and wonders and signs that ^(D)God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— ²³this Jesus,^[a] ^(E)delivered up according to ^(F)the definite plan and ^(G)foreknowledge of God, ^(H)you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. ²⁴^(I)God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because ^(J)it was not possible for him to be held by it. ²⁵For David says concerning him,

^(K)“‘I saw the Lord always before me,
    for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
²⁶therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
    my flesh also will dwell ^(L)in hope.
²⁷For you will not abandon my soul to ^(M)Hades,
    ^(N)or let your ^(O)Holy One ^(P)see corruption.
²⁸You have made known to me the paths of life;
    you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

²⁹“Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about ^(Q)the patriarch David ^(R)that he both died and ^(S)was buried, and ^(T)his tomb is with us to this day. ³⁰^(U)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that ^(V)God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, ³¹he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that ^(W)he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. ³²This Jesus ^(X)God raised up, ^(Y)and of that we all are witnesses. ³³^(Z)Being therefore ^(AA)exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from ^(AB)the Father ^(AC)the promise of the Holy Spirit, ^(AD)he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. ³⁴For ^(AE)David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,

^(AF)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
³⁵ until I make your enemies your footstool.”’

³⁶Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that ^(AG)God has made him ^(AH)both Lord and Christ, this Jesus ^(AI)whom you crucified.”

John 8:48-59

English Standard Version

Before Abraham Was, I Am

⁴⁸The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and ^(A)have a demon?” ⁴⁹Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but ^(B)I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. ⁵⁰Yet ^(C)I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. ⁵¹Truly, truly, ^(D)I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never ^(E)see death.” ⁵²The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! ^(F)Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet ^(G)you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never ^(H)taste death.’ ⁵³^(I)Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?” ⁵⁴Jesus answered, ^(J)“If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. ^(K)It is my Father who glorifies me, ^(L)of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’^[a] ⁵⁵But ^(M)you have not known him. ^(N)I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be ^(O)a liar ^(P)like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. ⁵⁶^(Q)Your father Abraham ^(R)rejoiced ^(S)that he would see my day. ^(T)He saw it and was glad.” ⁵⁷So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”^[b] ⁵⁸Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, ^(U)I am.” ⁵⁹So ^(V)they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
