1Look my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delights in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

2He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.

3The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth.

4He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.

5Thus says the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that gives breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.

6I the Lord have called you in righteousness, and taken you by the hand, and preserved you. And I have given you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:

7That you might open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

1The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?

2Whilst the evil draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.

3If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.

13I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.

14Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let your heart take courage, and wait you for the Lord.

1Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.

2And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.

3Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was satisfied with the odour of the ointment.

4Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:

5Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

6Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put in it.

7Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.

8For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.

9A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

10But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:

11Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.
