Psalm 74:10-14
Christian Standard Bible
10 God, how long will the enemy mock?
Will the foe insult your name forever?(A)
11 Why do you hold back your hand?
Stretch out[a] your right hand and destroy them!(B)
12 God my King is from ancient times,
performing saving acts on the earth.(C)
13 You divided the sea with your strength;
you smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the water;(D)
14 you crushed the heads of Leviathan;
you fed him to the creatures of the desert. (E)

the Lord of Armies will prepare for all the peoples a feast of choice meat,(B)
a feast with aged wine, prime cuts of choice meat,[b] fine vintage wine.
7 On this mountain
he will swallow up the burial shroud,
the shroud over all the peoples,
the sheet covering all the nations.(C)
8 When he has swallowed up death once and for all,(D)
the Lord God will wipe away the tears
from every face(E)
and remove his people’s disgrace(F)
from the whole earth,
for the Lord has spoken.
9 On that day it will be said,
“Look, this is our God;
we have waited for him, and he has saved us.
This is the Lord; we have waited for him.
Let’s rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”(G)

John 12:23-32
Christian Standard Bible
23 Jesus replied to them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man(A) to be glorified. 24 Truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat(B) falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit.(C) 25 The one who loves his life will lose it,(D) and the one who hates(E) his life(F) in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me. Where I am, there my servant(G) also will be.(H) If anyone serves me, the Father will honor(I) him.
27 “Now my soul is troubled. What should I say—Father, save me(J) from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.”[a](K)
Then a voice(L) came from heaven: (M) “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”(N)
29 The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 Jesus responded, “This voice came, not for me, but for you.(O) 31 Now is the judgment of this world.(P) Now the ruler of this world(Q) will be cast out.(R) 32 As for me, if I am lifted up[b] from the earth I will draw all people to myself.”(S)

John 12:23-32
New International Version
23 Jesus replied, “The hour(A) has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.(B) 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,(C) it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it(D) for eternal life.(E) 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.(F) My Father will honor the one who serves me.
27 “Now my soul is troubled,(G) and what shall I say? ‘Father,(H) save me from this hour’?(I) No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!”
Then a voice came from heaven,(J) “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
30 Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit,(K) not mine. 31 Now is the time for judgment on this world;(L) now the prince of this world(M) will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up[a] from the earth,(N) will draw all people to myself.”(O)

Colossians 2:8-15
Christian Standard Bible
8 Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition,(A) based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ.(B) 9 For the entire fullness(C) of God’s nature dwells bodily[a] in Christ, 10 and you have been filled by him, who is the head(D) over every ruler and authority. 11 You were also circumcised in him with a circumcision not done with hands, by putting off the body of flesh,(E) in the circumcision of Christ,(F) 12 when you were buried with him(G) in baptism, in which you were also raised with him(H) through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.(I) 13 And when you were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive with him and forgave us all our trespasses. 14 He erased the certificate of debt, with its obligations, that was against us and opposed to us, and has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.(J) 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and disgraced them publicly; he triumphed over them in him.[b](K)

Colossians 2:8-15
New International Version
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy,(A) which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world(B) rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness(C) of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head(D) over every power and authority.(E) 11 In him you were also circumcised(F) with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[b](G) was put off when you were circumcised by[c] Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism,(H) in which you were also raised with him(I) through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.(J)
13 When you were dead in your sins(K) and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[d] alive(L) with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,(M) 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness,(N) which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.(O) 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities,(P) he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them(Q) by the cross.[e]

Hebrews 2:9-18
Christian Standard Bible
9 But we do see Jesus—made lower than the angels for a short time so that by God’s grace he might taste death(A) for everyone—crowned with glory and honor(B) because he suffered death.(C)
10 For in bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God—for whom and through whom all things exist—should make the pioneer[a] of their salvation perfect through sufferings.(D) 11 For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father.[b] That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,(E) 12 saying:
I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters;
I will sing hymns to you in the congregation.[c](F)
13 Again, I will trust in him.[d] And again, Here I am with the children God gave me.[e](G)
14 Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through his death he might destroy the one holding the power of death—that is, the devil(H)— 15 and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.(I) 16 For it is clear that he does not reach out to help angels, but to help Abraham’s offspring.(J) 17 Therefore, he had to be like his brothers and sisters in every way, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in matters[f] pertaining to God, to make atonement[g](K) for the sins of the people.(L) 18 For since he himself has suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

New International Version
9 But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor(A) because he suffered death,(B) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.(C)
10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,(D) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.(E) 11 Both the one who makes people holy(F) and those who are made holy(G) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[a](H) 12 He says,
“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[b](I)
13 And again,
And again he says,
14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(L) he too shared in their humanity(M) so that by his death he might break the power(N) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(O)— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(P) of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(Q) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[e](R) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(S) and faithful high priest(T) in service to God,(U) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(V) 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.(W)
