Zechariah 9:9-12

English Standard Version

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.
¹¹As 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.
¹²Return to your stronghold, O ^(M)prisoners of hope;
    today I declare that ^(N)I will restore to you double.

Philippians 2:5-11

English Standard Version

⁵^(A)Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,^[a] ⁶^(B)who, though he was in ^(C)the form of God, did not count equality with God ^(D)a thing to be grasped,^[b] ⁷but ^(E)emptied himself, by taking the form of a ^(F)servant,^[c] ^(G)being born in the likeness of men. ⁸And being found in human form, he humbled himself by ^(H)becoming obedient to the point of death, ^(I)even death on a cross. ⁹^(J)Therefore ^(K)God has ^(L)highly exalted him and bestowed on him ^(M)the name that is above every name, ¹⁰so that at the name of Jesus ^(N)every knee should bow, ^(O)in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹and ^(P)every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is ^(Q)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
