49:17 May Dan be a snake beside the road,
a viper by the path,
that bites the heels of the horse
so that its rider falls backward. 1
53:3 He was despised and rejected by people, 2
one who experienced pain and was acquainted with illness;
people hid their faces from him; 3
he was despised, and we considered him insignificant. 4
53:4 But he lifted up our illnesses,
he carried our pain; 5
even though we thought he was being punished,
attacked by God, and afflicted for something he had done. 6
53:12 So I will assign him a portion with the multitudes, 7
he will divide the spoils of victory with the powerful, 8
because he willingly submitted 9 to death
and was numbered with the rebels,
when he lifted up the sin of many
and intervened 10 on behalf of the rebels.”
9:26 Now after the sixty-two weeks,
an anointed one will be cut off and have nothing. 11
As for the city and the sanctuary,
the people of the coming prince will destroy 12 them.
But his end will come speedily 13 like a flood. 14
Until the end of the war that has been decreed
there will be destruction.
4:1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness 15 to be tempted by the devil. 4:2 After he fasted forty days and forty nights he was famished. 16 4:3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.” 17 4:4 But he answered, 18 “It is written, ‘Man 19 does not live 20 by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” 21 4:5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, 22 had him stand 23 on the highest point 24 of the temple, 4:6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you’ 25 and ‘with their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” 26 4:7 Jesus said to him, “Once again it is written: ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’” 27 4:8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their grandeur. 28 4:9 And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you throw yourself to the ground and worship 29 me.” 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, 30 Satan! For it is written: ‘You are to worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’” 31
22:39 Then 32 Jesus 33 went out and made his way, 34 as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives, 35 and the disciples followed him. 22:40 When he came to the place, 36 he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 37 22:41 He went away from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, 22:42 “Father, if you are willing, take 38 this cup 39 away from me. Yet not my will but yours 40 be done.” 22:43 [Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 22:44 And in his anguish 41 he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.] 42
“The salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the ruling authority 66 of his Christ, 67 have now come,
because the accuser of our brothers and sisters, 68
the one who accuses them day and night 69 before our God,
has been thrown down.
12:11 But 70 they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their lives 71 so much that they were afraid to die.
12:12 Therefore you heavens rejoice, and all who reside in them!
But 72 woe to the earth and the sea
because the devil has come down to you!
He 73 is filled with terrible anger,
for he knows that he only has a little time!”
12:13 Now 74 when the dragon realized 75 that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
15:1 Then 80 I saw another great and astounding sign in heaven: seven angels who have seven final plagues 81 (they are final because in them God’s anger is completed).
15:2 Then 82 I saw something like a sea of glass 83 mixed with fire, and those who had conquered 84 the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standing 85 by 86 the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God. 87 15:3 They 88 sang the song of Moses the servant 89 of God and the song of the Lamb: 90
“Great and astounding are your deeds,
Lord God, the All-Powerful! 91
Just 92 and true are your ways,
King over the nations! 93
15:4 Who will not fear you, O Lord,
and glorify 94 your name, because you alone are holy? 95
All nations 96 will come and worship before you
for your righteous acts 97 have been revealed.”
15:5 After 98 these things I looked, and the temple (the tent 99 of the testimony) 100 was opened in heaven, 15:6 and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the temple, dressed in clean bright linen, wearing wide golden belts 101 around their chests.
20:7 Now 102 when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be released from his prison 20:8 and will go out to deceive 103 the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, 104 to bring them together for the battle. They are as numerous as the grains of sand in the sea. 105
