3He said to me, “You are my servant,Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”· · · verse 4 is not read5Now the Lord, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,says to bring Jacob again to him,and to gather Israel to him,for I am honorable in the Lord’s eyes,and my God has become my strength.6Indeed, he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob,and to restore the preserved of Israel.I will also give you as a light to the nations,that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”

2I waited patiently for the Lord.He turned to me, and heard my cry.

4He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

7Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.You have opened my ears.You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.8Then I said, “Behold, I have come.

8It is written about me in the book in the scroll.9I delight to do your will, my God.Yes, your law is within my heart.”

10I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.Behold, I will not seal my lips, Lord, you know.

1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God,and our brother Sosthenes,2to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus,called saints, with allwho call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place,both theirs and ours:3Grace to you and peace from God our Fatherand the Lord Jesus Christ.

29The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him,and said, “Behold,the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!30This is he of whom I said,‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me,for he was before me.’31I didn’t know him,but for this reason I came baptizing in water,that he would be revealed to Israel.”32John testified, saying,“I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven,and it remained on him.33I didn’t recognize him,but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me,‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descendingand remaining on him is hewho baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’34I have seen and have testifiedthat this is the Son of God.”
