The King of Glory
A Psalm of David.
24 (A)The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,[a]
the world and those who dwell therein,
2 for he has (B)founded it upon (C)the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
3 (D)Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his (E)holy place?
4 (F)He who has (G)clean hands and (H)a pure heart,
who does not (I)lift up his soul to (J)what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
5 He will receive (K)blessing from the Lord
and (L)righteousness from (M)the God of his salvation.
6 Such is (N)the generation of those who seek him,
who (O)seek the face of the God of Jacob.[b] Selah
7 (P)Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that (Q)the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, (R)mighty in battle!
9 Lift up your heads, O gates!
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
(S)The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory! Selah

The Coming King of Zion
9 (A)Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
(B)Behold, (C)your king is coming to you;
righteous and having salvation is he,
(D)humble and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 (E)I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and (F)the war horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow shall be cut off,
and (G)he shall speak peace to the nations;
(H)his rule shall be from sea to sea,
and from (I)the River[a] to the ends of the earth.
11 As for you also, because of (J)the blood of my covenant with you,
(K)I will set your prisoners free from (L)the waterless pit.
12 Return to your stronghold, O (M)prisoners of hope;
today I declare that (N)I will restore to you double.

Zechariah 12:9-13
English Standard Version
9 (A)And on that day (B)I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Him Whom They Have Pierced
10 “And (C)I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and (D)pleas for mercy, so that, (E)when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, (F)they shall mourn for him, (G)as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. 11 (H)On that day (I)the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great (J)as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12 The land shall mourn, (K)each family[a] by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of (L)Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; 13 the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of (M)the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves; 14 and all the families that are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.
13 (N)“On that day there shall be (O)a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.
Idolatry Cut Off
2 “And (P)on that day, declares the Lord of hosts, (Q)I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, so that (R)they shall be remembered no more. And also (S)I will remove from the land the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness. 3 And if anyone again prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, (T)‘You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who bore him shall pierce him through when he prophesies.
4 “On that day (U)every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies. He will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive, 5 but he will say, (V)‘I am no prophet, I am a worker of the soil, for a man sold me in my youth.’[b] 6 And if one asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your back?’[c] he will say, ‘The wounds I received in the house of my friends.’
The Shepherd Struck
7 “Awake, O sword, against (W)my shepherd,
against the man who stands next to me,”
declares the Lord of hosts.
(X)“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land, declares the Lord,
two thirds shall be cut off and perish,
(Y)and one third shall be left alive.
9 And (Z)I will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
(AA)They will call upon my name,
and (AB)I will answer them.
(AC)I will say, ‘They are my people’;
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

Mourning for the One They Pierced
10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit[a](C) of grace and supplication.(D) They will look on[b] me, the one they have pierced,(E) and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child,(F) and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.(G) 11 On that day the weeping(H) in Jerusalem will be as great as the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.(I) 12 The land will mourn,(J) each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives, 13 the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives, 14 and all the rest of the clans and their wives.(K)
Cleansing From Sin
13 “On that day a fountain(L) will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse(M) them from sin and impurity.
2 “On that day, I will banish the names of the idols(N) from the land, and they will be remembered no more,”(O) declares the Lord Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets(P) and the spirit of impurity from the land. 3 And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, ‘You must die, because you have told lies(Q) in the Lord’s name.’ Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.(R)
4 “On that day every prophet will be ashamed(S) of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet’s garment(T) of hair(U) in order to deceive.(V) 5 Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth.[c]’(W) 6 If someone asks, ‘What are these wounds on your body[d]?’ they will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’
The Shepherd Struck, the Sheep Scattered
7 “Awake, sword,(X) against my shepherd,(Y)
against the man who is close to me!”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“Strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,(Z)
and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
“two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
yet one-third will be left in it.(AA)
9 This third I will put into the fire;(AB)
I will refine them like silver(AC)
and test them like gold.(AD)
They will call(AE) on my name(AF)
and I will answer(AG) them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’(AH)
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.(AI)’”

12 (A)And Jesus entered the temple[a] and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of (B)the money-changers and the seats of those who sold (C)pigeons. 13 He said to them, “It is written, (D)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but (E)you make it a den of robbers.”
14 (F)And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 15 (G)But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, (H)“Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant, 16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; (I)have you never read,
17 And (L)leaving them, he (M)went out of the city to (N)Bethany and lodged there.

12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying(B) and selling there.
