O sword

when I sharpen My flashing sword,
and My hand takes hold of judgment,
I will take vengeance on My adversaries
and repay those who hate Me.

On that day the Lord with His harsh, great, and strong sword, will bring judgment on Leviathan, the fleeing serpent—Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea.

Oh, sword of the Lord!
How long will you be restless?
Go back to your sheath;
be still; be silent!

Since I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will therefore come out of its sheath against everyone from the south to the north.

My shepherd

Yahweh my God says this: “Shepherd the flock intended for slaughter.

He protects His flock like a shepherd;
He gathers the lambs in His arms
and carries them in the fold of His garment.
He gently leads those that are nursing.

I will appoint over them a single shepherd, My servant David, and he will shepherd them. He will tend them himself and will be their shepherd.

My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances, and keep My statutes and obey them.

Bethlehem Ephrathah,

you are small among the clans of Judah;
One will come from you
to be ruler over Israel for Me.
His origin is from antiquity,
from eternity.

A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.

Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus—the great Shepherd of the sheep—with the blood of the everlasting covenant,

And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

Smite

Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses,
and He carried our pains;
but we in turn regarded Him stricken,
struck down by God, and afflicted.

Seventy weeks are decreed
about your people and your holy city—
to bring the rebellion to an end,
to put a stop to sin,
to wipe away iniquity,
to bring in everlasting righteousness,
to seal up vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the most holy place.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

Though He was delivered up according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, you used lawless people to nail Him to a cross and kill Him.

The kings of the earth took their stand
and the rulers assembled together
against the Lord and against His Messiah.

They are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

For while we were still helpless, at the appointed moment, Christ died for the ungodly.

He did not even spare His own Son
but offered Him up for us all;
how will He not also with Him grant us everything?

He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written: Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed.

For God was pleased to have
all His fullness dwell in Him,

Therefore, as He was coming into the world, He said:

You did not want sacrifice and offering,
but You prepared a body for Me.

For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from the fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold,

He Himself bore our sins
in His body on the tree,
so that, having died to sins,
we might live for righteousness;
you have been healed by His wounds.

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all,

the righteous for the unrighteous,
that He might bring you to God,
after being put to death in the fleshly realm

but made alive in the spiritual realm.

He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.

God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

All those who live on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered.

The sheep

Then Jesus said to them, “Tonight all of you will run away because of Me, for it is written:

I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.

Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will run away,

because it is written:

I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep

will be scattered.

Look: An hour is coming, and has come, when each of you will be scattered to his own home, and you will leave Me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

I will turn

So I shepherded the flock intended for slaughter, the afflicted of the flock. I took two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock.

And whoever gives just a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple

—I assure you: He will never lose his reward!”

“See that you don’t look down on one of these little ones, because I tell you that in heaven their angels continually view the face of My Father in heaven.

Don’t be afraid, little flock, because your Father delights to give you the kingdom.

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

“I told you I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for Me, let these men go.”
