Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
4 Surely our [a]griefs He Himself [b](A)bore,
And our [c]sorrows He [d]carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
[e]Smitten of (B)God, and afflicted.
5 But He was [f]pierced through for (C)our transgressions,
He was crushed for (D)our iniquities;
The (E)chastening for our peace fell upon Him,
And by (F)His [g]wounds we are healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But Yahweh has caused the iniquity of us all
To [h]fall on Him.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not (G)open His mouth;
(H)Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of [i]the living,
(I)That for the transgression of my people, striking was due to Him?
9 So His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a (J)rich man in His death,
(K)Because He had (L)done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
10 But [j]Yahweh was pleased
To (M)crush Him, [k](N)putting Him to grief;
If You would place His soul as a guilt (O)offering,
He will see (P)His seed,
He will prolong His days,
And the [l]good (Q)pleasure of Yahweh will succeed in His hand.
11 As a result of the [m]anguish of His soul,
He will (R)see [n]it and be satisfied;
By His (S)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will [o]justify the many,
As He will (T)bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will divide for Him a (U)portion with the many,
And He will divide the spoil with the strong;
Because He poured out (V)His soul to death,
And was (W)numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself [p](X)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.
9 [a]For you have made Yahweh—(A)my refuge,
The Most High—(B)your dwelling place.
10 (C)No evil will befall you,
And no plague will come near your [b]tent.
11 For He will command (D)His angels concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will (E)bear you up,
Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will (F)tread upon the fierce lion and cobra,
The young lion and the [c]serpent you will trample down.
14 “(G)Because he has loved Me, therefore I will protect him;
I will (H)set him securely on high, because he has (I)known My name.
15 He will (J)call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in his [d]distress;
I will rescue him and (K)honor him.
16 With [e]a (L)long life I will satisfy him
And (M)I will show him My salvation.”
5 For every high priest (A)taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in (B)things pertaining to God, in order to (C)offer both gifts and sacrifices (D)for sins, 2 (E)being able to deal gently with the (F)ignorant and (G)misguided, since he himself also is [a](H)beset with weakness; 3 and because of it, he is obligated, (I)just as for the people, to also offer sacrifices (J)for sins in the same way for himself. 4 And (K)no one takes this honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even (L)as Aaron was.
5 In this way also Christ (M)did not glorify Himself to become a (N)high priest, but He who (O)said to Him,
“(P)You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”;
6 just as He says also in another passage,
7 He, [b]in the days of His flesh, [c](S)offered up both prayers and supplications with (T)loud crying and tears to the One (U)able to save Him [d]from death, and He [e]was heard because of His (V)reverence. 8 Although He was (W)a Son, He learned (X)obedience from the things which He suffered. 9 And having been made (Y)perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 10 being designated by God as (Z)a high priest according to (AA)the order of Melchizedek.
A Request for Status
35 (A)Then James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, *came up to Jesus, saying to Him, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” 36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 37 And they said to Him, “[a]Grant that we (B)may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.” 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able (C)to drink the cup that I drink, or (D)to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” 39 And they said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink (E)you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. 40 But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; (F)but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 (G)And hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John. 42 And calling them to Himself, Jesus *said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them. 43 But it is not this way among you, (H)but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; 44 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man (I)did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His [b]life a ransom for many.”
