⁵ For the LORD is good. His mercy is everlasting; and His truth is from generation to generation. A Psalm of David

23 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture,” says the LORD.

² “Therefore, thus says the LORD God of Israel to the shepherds who feed My people: You have scattered My flock, and thrust them out, and have not visited them. Behold, I will reckon with you for the wickedness of your works,” says the LORD.

³ “And I will gather the remnant of My sheep out of all countries where I had driven them and will bring them again to their folds. And they shall grow and increase.

⁴ “And I will set up shepherds over them who shall feed them. And they shall dread no more nor be afraid, nor shall any of them be lacking,” says the LORD.

⁵ “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will raise to David a righteous Branch. And a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice on the Earth.

⁶ “In His days, Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely. And this is the Name by which they shall call Him: The Lord Our Righteousness.

⁷ “Therefore, behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that they shall no longer say, ‘The LORD lives, Who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’

⁸ “but, ‘The LORD lives, Who brought up and led the seed of the House of Israel out of the North country, and from all countries where I had scattered them,’ and they shall dwell in their own land.”

¹⁷ And Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and took the twelve disciples aside on the way and said to them,

¹⁸ “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes. And they shall condemn Him to death,

¹⁹ “and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles - to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify. But the third day, He shall rise again.”

²⁰ Then the mother of Zebedee’s children came to Him with her sons, worshipping, and desiring a certain thing of Him.

²¹ “And he said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to him, “Grant that these, my two sons, may sit - the one at Your right hand and the other at Your left hand - in Your Kingdom.”

²² And Jesus answered, and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink from the cup from which I shall drink, and to be baptized with the baptism with which I shall be baptized?” They said to Him, “We are able.”

²³ And He said to them, “You shall indeed drink from My cup, and shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. But to sit at My right hand, and at My left hand, is not Mine to give. But it shall be given to those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”

²⁴ And when the other ten heard this, they were angry at the two brothers.

²⁵ Therefore Jesus called them to Him, and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them. And those who are great, exercise authority over them.

²⁶ “But it shall not be so among you. But whoever will be great among you, let him be your servant.

²⁷ “And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant;

²⁸ “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life for the ransom of many.”
