Psalm 107:33-38

New International Version

³³He turned rivers into a desert,^(A)
    flowing springs^(B) into thirsty ground,
³⁴and fruitful land into a salt waste,^(C)
    because of the wickedness of those who lived there.
³⁵He turned the desert into pools of water^(D)
    and the parched ground into flowing springs;^(E)
³⁶there he brought the hungry to live,
    and they founded a city where they could settle.
³⁷They sowed fields and planted vineyards^(F)
    that yielded a fruitful harvest;
³⁸he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased,^(G)
    and he did not let their herds diminish.^(H)

Saying 25

¹⁰If you falter in a time of trouble,
    how small is your strength!^(A)
¹¹Rescue those being led away to death;
    hold back those staggering toward slaughter.^(B)
¹²If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
    does not he who weighs^(C) the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
    Will he not repay^(D) everyone according to what they have done?^(E)

Luke 22:54-62

New International Version

Peter Disowns Jesus^(A)

⁵⁴Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest.^(B) Peter followed at a distance.^(C) ⁵⁵And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. ⁵⁶A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”

⁵⁷But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.

⁵⁸A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”

“Man, I am not!” Peter replied.

⁵⁹About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.”^(D)

⁶⁰Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. ⁶¹The Lord^(E) turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.”^(F) ⁶²And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Hebrews 12:1-3

New International Version

12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run^(A) with perseverance^(B) the race marked out for us, ²fixing our eyes on Jesus,^(C) the pioneer^(D) and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,^(E) scorning its shame,^(F) and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.^(G) ³Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary^(H) and lose heart.
