Psalm 118:1-2
English Standard Version
His Steadfast Love Endures Forever
118 (A)Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 (B)Let Israel say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
Psalm 118:19-29
English Standard Version
19 (A)Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
(B)the righteous shall enter through it.
21 I thank you that (C)you have answered me
(D)and have become my salvation.
22 (E)The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.[a]
23 This is the Lord's doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save us, we pray, O Lord!
O Lord, we pray, give us success!
26 (F)Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We (G)bless you from the house of the Lord.
27 The Lord is God,
and he has made (H)his light to shine upon us.
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,
up to (I)the horns of the altar!
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
you are my God; I will (J)extol you.
29 (K)Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!

He Was Pierced for Our Transgressions
13 Behold, (A)my servant shall act wisely;[a]
he shall be high and lifted up,
and shall be exalted.
14 As many were astonished at you—
(B)his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance,
and his form beyond that of the children of mankind—
15 so (C)shall he sprinkle[b] many nations.
(D)Kings shall shut their mouths because of him,
(E)for that which has not been told them they see,
and that which they have not heard they understand.
53 (F)Who has believed what he has heard from us?[c]
And to whom has (G)the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
(H)and like a root out of dry ground;
(I)he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 (J)He was despised and rejected[d] by men,
a man of sorrows[e] and acquainted with[f] grief;[g]
and as one from whom men hide their faces[h]
he was despised, and (K)we esteemed him not.
4 (L)Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
(M)smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 (N)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
(O)and with his wounds we are healed.
6 (P)All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
(Q)and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
(R)yet he opened not his mouth;
(S)like a (T)lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, (U)who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
(V)and with a rich man in his death,
although (W)he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet (X)it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief;[i]
(Y)when his soul makes[j] an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
(Z)the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see[k] and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall (AA)the righteous one, my servant,
(AB)make many to be accounted righteous,
(AC)and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 (AD)Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,[l]
(AE)and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,[m]
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
(AF)yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time
17 (A)And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, 18 “See, (B)we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will (C)condemn him to death 19 and (D)deliver him over to the Gentiles (E)to be mocked and flogged and (F)crucified, and he will be raised on (G)the third day.”

The Triumphal Entry
21 (A)Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to (B)the Mount of Olives, then Jesus (C)sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place (D)to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 (E)“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
(F)humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt,[a] the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd (G)spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, (H)“Hosanna to (I)the Son of David! (J)Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna (K)in the highest!” 10 And (L)when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is (M)the prophet Jesus, (N)from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
12 (O)And Jesus entered the temple[b] and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of (P)the money-changers and the seats of those who sold (Q)pigeons. 13 He said to them, “It is written, (R)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but (S)you make it a den of robbers.”
14 (T)And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 15 (U)But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, (V)“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; (W)have you never read,
17 And (Z)leaving them, he (AA)went out of the city to (AB)Bethany and lodged there.
