Psalm 65:1-8

65 Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,

Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.

Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.

Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.

Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him he exalted in themselves.

O bless our God, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

Psalm 65:9-13

Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.

11 Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:

12 Thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through fire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

Isaiah 52:1-6

52 Arise, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised, and unclean shall no more pass through thee.

Shake thyself from the dust, arise, sit up, O Jerusalem: loose the bonds from off thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion.

For thus saith the Lord: You were sold gratis, and you shall be redeemed without money.

For thus saith the Lord God: My people went down into Egypt at the beginning to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without any cause at all.

And now what have I here, saith the Lord: for my people is taken away gratis. They that rule over them treat them unjustly, saith the Lord, and my name is continually blasphemed all the day long.

Therefore my people shall know my name in that day: for I myself that spoke, behold I am here.

John 12:44-50

44 But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me.

45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

46 I am come a light into the world; that whosoever believeth in me, may not remain in darkness.

47 And if any man hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 He that despiseth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak.
