Psalm 89:19-29

New International Version

¹⁹Once you spoke in a vision,
    to your faithful people you said:
“I have bestowed strength on a warrior;
    I have raised up a young man from among the people.
²⁰I have found David^(A) my servant;^(B)
    with my sacred oil^(C) I have anointed^(D) him.
²¹My hand will sustain him;
    surely my arm will strengthen him.^(E)
²²The enemy will not get the better of him;^(F)
    the wicked will not oppress^(G) him.
²³I will crush his foes before him^(H)
    and strike down his adversaries.^(I)
²⁴My faithful love will be with him,^(J)
    and through my name his horn^[a] will be exalted.
²⁵I will set his hand over the sea,
    his right hand over the rivers.^(K)
²⁶He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,^(L)
    my God, the Rock^(M) my Savior.’^(N)
²⁷And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,^(O)
    the most exalted^(P) of the kings^(Q) of the earth.
²⁸I will maintain my love to him forever,
    and my covenant with him will never fail.^(R)
²⁹I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure.^(S)

Exodus 14:15-22

New International Version

¹⁵Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me?^(A) Tell the Israelites to move on. ¹⁶Raise your staff^(B) and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water^(C) so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. ¹⁷I will harden the hearts^(D) of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them.^(E) And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. ¹⁸The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord^(F) when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”

¹⁹Then the angel of God,^(G) who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud^(H) also moved from in front and stood behind^(I) them, ²⁰coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness^(J) to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.

²¹Then Moses stretched out his hand^(K) over the sea,^(L) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind^(M) and turned it into dry land.^(N) The waters were divided,^(O) ²²and the Israelites went through the sea^(P) on dry ground,^(Q) with a wall^(R) of water on their right and on their left.

1 John 5:6-9

New International Version

⁶This is the one who came by water and blood^(A)—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.^(B) ⁷For there are three^(C) that testify: ⁸the^[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. ⁹We accept human testimony,^(D) but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God,^(E) which he has given about his Son.
