Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁴ Surely *he* hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; and we, we did regard him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed.

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid upon him the iniquity of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, but he opened not his mouth; he was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and was as a sheep dumb before her shearers, and he opened not his mouth.

⁸ He was taken from oppression and from judgment; and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

⁹ And [men] appointed his grave with the wicked, but he was with the rich in his death, because he had done no violence, neither was there guile in his mouth.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath subjected [him] to suffering. When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see a seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.

¹¹ He shall see of [the fruit of] the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant instruct many in righteousness; and *he* shall bear their iniquities.

¹² Therefore will I assign him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong: because he hath poured out his soul unto death, and was reckoned with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

⁹ Because *thou* hast made Jehovah, my refuge, the Most High, thy dwelling-place,

¹⁰ There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

¹¹ For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways:

¹² They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹³ Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.

¹⁴ Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him.

¹⁶ With length of days will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

5 For every high priest taken from amongst men is established for men in things relating to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

² being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed with infirmity;

³ and, on account of this [infirmity], he ought, even as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

⁴ And no one takes the honour to himself but [as] called by God, even as Aaron also.

⁵ Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, *Thou* art my Son, *I* have to-day begotten thee.

⁶ Even as also in another [place] he says, *Thou* [art] a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up both supplications and entreaties to him who was able to save him out of death, with strong crying and tears; (and having been heard because of his piety;)

⁸ though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;

⁹ and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation;

¹⁰ addressed by God [as] high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

³⁵ And there come to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying [to him], Teacher, we would that whatsoever we may ask thee, thou wouldst do it for us.

³⁶ And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you?

³⁷ And they said to him, Give to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory.

³⁸ And Jesus said to them, Ye do not know what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup which *I* drink, or be baptised with the baptism that *I* am baptised with?

³⁹ And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, The cup that *I* drink ye will drink and with the baptism that *I* am baptised with ye will be baptised,

⁴⁰ but to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give, but for those for whom it is prepared.

⁴¹ And the ten having heard [of it], began to be indignant about James and John.

⁴² But Jesus having called them to [him], says to them, Ye know that those who are esteemed to rule over the nations exercise lordship over them; and their great men exercise authority over them;

⁴³ but it is not thus among you; but whosoever would be great among you, shall be your minister;

⁴⁴ and whosoever would be first of you shall be bondman of all.

⁴⁵ For also the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and give his life a ransom for many.
