Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
4 (A)Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
(B)smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 (C)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
(D)and with his wounds we are healed.
6 (E)All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
(F)and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
(G)yet he opened not his mouth;
(H)like a (I)lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, (J)who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
(K)and with a rich man in his death,
although (L)he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet (M)it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief;[a]
(N)when his soul makes[b] an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
(O)the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see[c] and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall (P)the righteous one, my servant,
(Q)make many to be accounted righteous,
(R)and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 (S)Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,[d]
(T)and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,[e]
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
(U)yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.
9 Because you have made the Lord your (A)dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my (B)refuge[a]—
10 (C)no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
(D)no plague come near your tent.
5 For every high priest chosen from among men (A)is appointed to act on behalf of men (B)in relation to God, (C)to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 (D)He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself (E)is beset with weakness. 3 Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins (F)just as he does for those of the people. 4 And (G)no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, (H)just as Aaron was.
5 So also Christ (I)did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,
(J)“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”;
6 as he says also in another place,
(K)“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
7 In the days of his flesh, (L)Jesus[a] offered up prayers and supplications, (M)with loud cries and tears, to him (N)who was able to save him from death, and (O)he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although (P)he was a son, (Q)he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And (R)being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest (S)after the order of Melchizedek.
The Request of James and John
35 (A)And James and John, (B)the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us (C)whatever we ask of you.” 36 And he said to them, (D)“What do you want me to do for you?” 37 And they said to him, “Grant us (E)to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, (F)in your glory.” 38 Jesus said to them, (G)“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able (H)to drink the cup that I drink, or (I)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, (J)“The cup that I drink (K)you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, (L)you will be baptized, 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, (M)but it is for those for whom it has been (N)prepared.” 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. 42 (O)And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles (P)lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But (Q)it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,[a] 44 and whoever would be first among you must be (R)slave[b] of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but (S)to serve, and (T)to give his life as a ransom for (U)many.”
