The Righteous Will Never Be Moved

Revive Us Again

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of ^(A)the Sons of Korah.

⁵ When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the ^(A)mind of Pharaoh and his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?” ⁶ So he made ready his chariot and took his army with him, ⁷ and took ^(B)six hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them. ⁸ And ^(C)the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the people of Israel while ^(D)the people of Israel were going out defiantly. ⁹ The ^(E)Egyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them ^(F)encamped at the sea, by Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.

¹⁰ When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel ^(G)cried out to the Lord. ¹¹ They ^(H)said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt? ¹² Is not this what ^(I)we said to you in Egypt: ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.” ¹³ And Moses said to the people, ^(J)“Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For ^(K)the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. ^14 (L)The Lord will fight for you, and you have only ^(M)to be silent.”

¹⁵ The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. ^16 (N)Lift up your staff, and ^(O)stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground. ¹⁷ And ^(P)I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and ^(Q)I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen. ¹⁸ And the Egyptians ^(R)shall know that I am the Lord, ^(S)when I have gotten glory over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

^19 (T)Then the angel of God who was going before the host of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them, ²⁰ coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness. And it lit up the night^[a] without one coming near the other all night.

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

^31 (A)And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, ^(B)we are going up to Jerusalem, and ^(C)everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. ³² For he will be ^(D)delivered over to the Gentiles and will be ^(E)mocked and shamefully treated and ^(F)spit upon. ³³ And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on ^(G)the third day he will rise.” ^34 (H)But they understood none of these things. ^(I)This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.

Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar

^35 (J)As he drew near to Jericho, ^(K)a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. ³⁶ And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. ³⁷ They told him, ^(L)“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” ³⁸ And he cried out, “Jesus, ^(M)Son of David, have mercy on me!” ³⁹ And those who were in front ^(N)rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁰ And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, ^41 (O)“What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” ⁴² And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; ^(P)your faith has ^(Q)made you well.” ⁴³ And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, ^(R)glorifying God. And ^(S)all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
